Maybe it's just Apple but trying to Airplay off of the free sites is a pain

Its not just Apple.  Its annoying how companies try to control things thru software.  I have my car set up to be able to stream anything that is on my phone...it mirrors my phone screen.  But I can't do it with certain "services."  NFL Sunday Ticket is one of them.  As soon as I try to mirror to my vehicle, it tells me I am not allowed.  So to watch games on a road trip I either have to watch it on my phone or only watch the local broadcast games thru another service.

Using my iPad was the same thing years ago.  I could watch Sunday Ticket on my iPad or my TV.  But if I tried to cast my iPad to my TV it would tell me that it wasn't allowed.  NFL's replay package did the same thing.  I would want to go from watching the All 22 cam on my iPad to my TV and it would tell me its not allowed.

Again, don't blame the software - they're just doing what the streaming contracts allow.  Some streaming services request that mirroring not be allowed primarily for copyright reasons.

A bad example: streaming from a personal phone subscription to a TV displayed in a public performance space like a bar.  (and because there's no way to differentiate use cases, all mirroring has to be disabled)

Dude, we are saying the same thing.

Here is another one where I would blame "the software," but I am talking about the people behind it.  Years ago in my truck I could stream youtube by simply plugging in my phone and clicking a few buttons.  Suddenly there was a series of updates that didn't allow that anymore.  Same truck.  Same phone.  Same hookup method.  They just "updated" it so people like me couldn't stream music thru youtube in their vehicles.  And I'm sure there were some other goodies that came with the updates as well. 

Yes, I "get it."  You aren't saying anything that I haven't already thought about.  But I can still talk about them and make fun of them.  I can also call them stupid.

I was going to reply, "i listen to YouTube/YouTube Music via my phone in the car all the time, what are you talking about".

Until I remembered that I'm not plugging into a USB port, but using an audio aux input instead.  Benefits of driving an older vehicle, I guess.

We should know more later today (if rumor mills are accurate).

One of two scenarios will be in play:

1)  Google would make Sunday Ticket available in the Youtube TV plan, but would charge a premium for the out-of-market games (just like DirecTV does), which could be in the $300/season range.  YouTube TV currently costs $65/month for the base package.

2) Google could offer Sunday Ticket as a subscription via YouTube

=-=-

If #2 is in play, then there's no reason to offer #1 *unless* there's a season discount for YouTube TV subscribers vs non-subscribers

#1 would be of most benefit to expand the YoutubeTV customer base, but at the risk of annoying potential subscribers who just want to watch their team

#2 would offer the widest possible option for subscribers, and therefore more money for the NFL

Welp guess I’ll keep streaming on questionable sites since the nfl clearly doesn’t want my money by first punishing me for where I live and secondly wanting me to pay more for a ‘package’ and though not mentioned, prolly a dumb contract too.

I think they underestimate how many fans they alienate and money they miss out on. But that’s what happens when 70 year olds are likely calling the shots. Hell they might even just keep it status quo on a fuging outdated satellite in 2023 lol

How many fans are they alienating, exactly? The NFL is worth more than it has ever been? Hell, their commercials have Tampax as "The Official Tampon of the NFL" (joking).

Quote

The NFL announced a multiyear agreement on Thursday for Google to distribute the league's "Sunday Ticket" package of out-of-market Sunday afternoon games on YouTube TV and YouTube Primetime Channels.

The NFL was seeking $2.5 billion per season for the package, which has been on DirecTV since 1994. The satellite provider has paid $1.5 billion per year on an eight-year contract that expires at the end of this season.

Commissioner Roger Goodell said during an interview with CNBC over the summer that the next move for "Sunday Ticket" would be to a streaming service because that would be the best option for fans.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
