Looks like Sunday Ticket on DirecTV is dead. New home: ESPN+

More info to come.   Congrats to Disney for this one -- they found a way to get money from the cord-cutters who stopped paying the cable ESPN fee.

 

Eh....I'll still stream it. fug 'em.

This makes streaming even MORE attractive IMO since ESPN+ is a streaming service anyway.

Oh, and just as an FYI, the illegal streams have been more reliable than the actual UFC PPVs on ESPN+ and NFL Sunday Ticket will create a LOT more traffic than UFC PPVs. I predict this will be a complete poo show.

I wish they would come up with a plan to just purchase an individual teams game package.  I just moved to Texas from Charlotte and it would be awesome to just be able to buy all the Panthers games.

That being said, im definitely going to subscribe to this next year.

This is for the 2023 season, by the way.

ESPN+ is currently $60/year... or different monthly packages that could range up to $20/month (your mileage may vary). No word on whether football would be an extra price or not.

Thursday night games go to Amazon Prime for out-of-market games; stay on local TV if they're local teams per usual process.

No way it'll be included for $60/year. It'll be an additional fee. Just like UFC PPVs are an additional fee on top of the $60/year. That was a brilliant move by the UFC putting their content behind a double paywall.

They have the technology to do it. And knowing how to handle/recover from the Mandalorian/WandaVision crashes on the Disney+ side of the fence just helps them build a better streaming network. 

It may not be that much extra $. ESPN+ can come as a package deal with Hulu and Disney+, so some folks may already have it (and may not even know it). 

And if Disney can figure out the tech to do it.... some people may balk at paying an extra $300 for all the games... but there'll be a fair number who'll say $100 just for a single team's games? That's the hook.

ESPN could already have had the market cornered on streaming had they seen the writing on the wall years ago with satellite and cable subscriptions dropping. I mean....YEARS ago. 

I would have been an ESPN streaming subscriber back in the day. Now.....f*ck 'em. Don't need 'em. Not interested in paying Disney money, either.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By strato · Posted

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
