So as a prime member I just got one delivered for $20 because it was a good deal. I have an apple TV and not sure if there is an advantage over the apple tv. Here are my 3 options:

 

1. - Keep it as a back up to my apple tv

 

2. - Give it to my college son (no prime) for christmas.

 

3.- Give it to my 70 year old dad who is pessimistic about these thing but was intrigued when I showed him Apple TV when I went to visit at thanksgiving. (no prime also).

 

 

I am leaning towards giving it to my dad because he is the guy who has everything but not this. Because of that, i rarely give him a Christmas present.

 

What say you huddle?

 

pros / cons?

I am torn between the Fire stick and the Chomecast. I like the fire stick better but unless I missed it I didn't see an option on the fire stick like the chomecast where you can mirror your laptop or desktop onto your tv. I really would like to have that feature, and note sure if the firestick offers that, when the chromecast does.

 

Does anyone know? If it does I'm getting the fire stick instead.

 

Didn't mean to hijack your thread Mr. Rockets. Give it to pops.

Is it like Roku? Can you add a billion different channels?

 

Nevermind....

 

 

However, it doesn't have direct access to content that users have bought from either Apple's iTunes or Google's Play Store. Nor does it have anywhere close to the broad selection of Internet channels that you can get through Roku's devices.

I got another Roku for 28 bucks during Thanksgiving. A much better deal.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By TimeTravelerTep · Posted

      I think his football IQ is well below average. I do not think he can read defenses at all. He is not the long term answer. I'm getting worried about DC. I think he has problems seeing the big picture for each game. Some people can't accept it, but this game is greatly affected by momentum. It's hard to explain but you can just feel his decisions break it at least two or three times a game (I think he is pretty solid when it comes to 4th down decisions). My biggest concern is this. You have seen these coaches time and time again. For some reason you have these coaches that absolutely will not go with what is working. We need a name for these coaches, what is it? If something is working great, they just do not have the intelligence to comprehend that something working is actually good for their team. They cannot understand this. AND REPORTERS NEED TO CALL THIS OUT. Rushing was insane for the past two games...ok let's take half his carries away and have Bryce air it out (look at the attempts he had). The reporters need to freaking ask "((this)) was working, you didn't do ((this)), do you consider that bad coaching? If so, why? If not, why do you defend doing the opposite of what it best?" Anyone knows you keep doing something until they stop it. But you have these coaches that think the are going to pull a fast one on them and do the thing that is not working. Dave is starting to remind me of that guy in the movie Kung Pow. I think his name was Weeblow or something, he had those squeaky shoes when he ran around. The Kung Fu masters trained him wrong as a joke, so he did things to get the crap beat out of him instead of winning the fight. I am going to start calling Dave Canales WEEBLOW if he keeps doing the opposite of what would win. But seriously, if he is going to be that type of coach, I would honestly get rid of him after this season. You 100% do not want a coach with this flaw...they may have one good fluke season but it will be years of terrible teams.

      I mean the Bronco's only won by 1, but no one there is complaining.

      Bryce Young has now played one full seasons worth of games since returning from his benching in 2024

      A QB who can't consistently throw the ball 20 yards downfield has no business being a starting QB in this league. That is a backup QB who you put in there to manage a game when your starter goes down.
