It's not just streaming. That's the "business model" of a terrifying amount of big tech companies. It's probably the new .com bubble. These companies have huge market caps, huge debt, huge exposure and user bases, but they absolutely suck at turning those users into revenue but investors keep dumping in funds expecting them to figure out how to monetize it at some point. I seriously doubt many will.

Tomorrow night will tell us everything about the rest of the Heels' season. They'll either bounce back strong and kick the poo out of GT or we're gonna folks like a cheap suit down the stretch again like last year.

Ron probably has the best pair of edge rushers in the NFL and his D is still straight trash. The ceiling for his longevity in Washington is probably their bye week.

I mean, what does it say about you when your only defense is incredible stupidity or wanton negligence to end up getting caught doing what you claim everyone else is doing? Is that really the guy you wanna hire?

11 years ago today...

I mean, Syracuse is terrible. The combined score of their prior three games (all losses) is 112-24.

This is true.

Signgate definitely seems significant. Could definitely end up with Harbaugh jumping back to the NFL as Michigan could definitely end up with some pretty considerable punishment for something this blatant and long lasting. Kinda bizarre how it took so long for it to come to a head.

I don't know about all that. I hope that my buddy plays well but that I play better and we beat them seems to be a perfectly reasonable, charitable, and consistent viewpoint.

He did this same thing with Gettleman. His Hurney derangement syndrome is so severe that he has to defend tooth and nail anyone not named Marty Hurney.

The desperation to claw together enough wins not to hand the Bears the #1 overall pick if things are trending that way down the stretch is gonna be pretty comical to watch. Because holy poo are we gonna look like complete clowns if we hand the Bears #1 overall a year after trading a haul to get to #1 overall.

They would be if the franchise themselves didn't build in protections. What they've started to do more and more in recent years is requiring you not to just buy one location but to buy an entire region.

We're treating this like he's Aaron Donald or JJ Watt or prime Von Miller. Burns ain't that. He's not the cornerstone of a dominant defense.

Oh, I agree. It's not going to happen. I do find it curious how much stringent capitalists can openly embrace a system that is outright socialist though. It's an interesting phenomenon.

I wouldn't pay a damn dime to watch the team that Tepper is fielding.

It's the league that doesn't want it with how their revenue split works. With the TV contracts they can rationalize the even split. But if the fans can actually buy the games they want and nothing more it's going to really expose the reality that a lot of teams just flat out don't matter and don't drive viewership. If you have cable or satellite or currently have Sunday Tickets or whatever they call it these days and a bad game is on you might still tune it, at least to have it in in the background since there's no additional cost incurred. But if say the Panthers and Bears are playing on Thursday night football and you can tune in for say $4.99, how many people are honestly gonna do that? Wouldn't take long for the owners of the teams that are driving all the actual viewership to start demanding their fair share of the revenue and stop floating the David Teppers of the league who consistently field a product no one seems worthy of shelling out the money to watch. Me personally? I absolutely wish they would. Owning an NFL team would not longer be a guaranteed golden ticket. There would be very strong financial incentive to field a winner and not just live off of the league split being carried by the teams folks actually want to see.

Tee Higgins... oof

We signed Thielen in free agency. We didn't trade valuable draft assets for him. Now with that said if we're going to keep Fitts, then sure. Why not? He'll just piss those picks away anyway.

The Huddle couldn't do any worse than 0-6 (plus 0-3 in preseason when I was assured it didn't matter and there was no cause for concern). Hell, I bet we could've accomplished that while even hanging onto next years (very high) 1st round pick.

This roster he's assembled tells me it wasn't just Matt Rhule who was incompetent.

Fitterer has been so bad he makes Marty Hurney look like Bill Polian. All that hope that the idiocy was solely due to Rhule was gone. Maybe it's Tepper. But Fitts is the man in the seat and it's a disaster. It's been a disaster.

You did this same song and dance with Gettleman for years after he got fired as it becomes more and more obvious that he actually did deserve to get fired.

Tepper is a hedgefunder. The only knock he sees is that the guy was dumb enough to get caught.

This team does not need to be trading draft assets for players on the wrong side of 30.

They're real to Sam Darnold
