Lmao

Integrate LLMs with sensors providing feedback to an objective rule-based system and the NFL would IMMEDIATELY become less storyline driven . Lmao it is trash how this hasn’t been thought of, unless it has but hasn’t been implemented. And if it has been thought of and not implemented, what is the motive? I dislike black boxes of any kind, and love leveraging any and all tech that eliminates/disintermediates them.

Literally the only reason. It isn’t even expensive these days. It is more costly to the integrity of the game than it is costly to integrate the technology. That is, unless, it has more to do with betting lines, ticket revenue etc tied to narratives around popular and big market teams

The only reason the incredibly profitable NFL isn’t leaning ALL THE WAY IN on technology to ref games is because it allows them to control the narrative and perpetuate storylines. “Packers win! Playoff hunt!” Blah blah blah. The information asymmetry that exists with human referees and the black box of “the control room making subjective decisions in NYC” necessarily allows for narrative control and money to flow via betting lines and more popular fan bases being appeased to. If the NFL actually cared about this the way the IRS cares about taxes, there would be no referees at all, as they are less competent than tech that exists today.

Bryce objectively played his ass off. Looking forward to more of the same and consistency as we move forward.

lol, right?

Economic value of players on the field contributing to winning resulting in ticket, concession and jersey sales vs economic value of James Taylor and Beyoncé ticket, concession sales

Definitely interested

Smallest*

They wouldn’t change it. We left. Was the only reason we went there lmao. Literally drove past better restaurants to go there and watch the Panthers as we know Hickory Tavern as “Panthers HQ”. Never again.

Sitting @ Hickory Tavern in Biltmore Village right now and they didnt even have the game on any TV until we flagged them down. Eagles Cowboys is blasting with sound on all main screens. Lol we asked for the panthers game and they turned exactly one (1) to the Panthers game. No sound though. Lmao this is pathetic
