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.

      Austin Corbett's move to center has seemed "inevitable"

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Very good points.  I also think you reach an age where your enthusiasm wanes, you quit learning and start relying on experience, and you lose touch with the younger generations of players--it happens.  And you are right about Bryce.  He is frustrated and he took a ton of heat--I can't imagine where he was mentally, but I have some idea.   Bryce is very smart-he needs to beat teams with his mind more than his arm.  He could not play chess when everyone around him was a confused pawn.  This season, he will use more motion to tip coverages and he will use more pre-snap reads.  Than means he should not be breaking the huddle with 12 seconds on the play clock and rushing to get the play off--there are so many things that can impact a QB's play, and there are many signs that he was provided the least possible chance to succeed.  In my view, this is his rookie season.  Last year was a fire drill.

      I also find it curious we decided to practice at home instead of up in NY… not sure I would have made that decision. Need a feel for the ice and boards. Maybe we’ll do a very limited morning skate tomorrow.

      Bryce Young vs Caleb Williams

      It really was crazy. The NFL hype on him was nuts. And I think for our FO, we basically outsmarted ourselves. Some of that has to do with Tepper going against the grain and wanting show how much of a genius he is. Stroud should have been the guy. I thought it might end up being an NFL horror story of sending an undersized kid to get crushed as first overall. I'll give him this though he is tough as nails.  This season will give us a better measure of where he's at, I think. I was hoping he'd come back a little bigger muscle wise though.
