I did a free 7 day trial of apple just to watch a braves game lol. There was one series i liked, the silo. so i binge watched it. Other than that I thought the limited choices of shows (very little sports) sucked.

 

Apple is being smart. They're not overextending and taking huge losses like Disney did with Disney+. They're churning content at a lower rate and hoping to leverage other draws to fill in the blanks. If they get sports beyond soccer, they'll be set.

They (Apple) have to be pretty happy with MLS Season Pass. I haven’t heard of any actual streaming issues with the product, they also make certain games free every match day to keep those with an interest intrigued, and now that Messi is in the MLS, their numbers will only go up.

they only have around 1m season pass subs right now which to me seemed really low. otherwise I agree--with Messi the numbers could explode at any moment and that is the first in a long list of huge dominoes to fall.  

I love their shows, their MLS coverage is awesome, and their MLB games are amazing.  I would drop netflix before apple at this point (course i do get mls for free being a cltfc sth)

What would be wild is if Apple finally buys Disney. Those rumors have been around for forever but Iger’s recent comments might make the rumor carry more weight than it ever has before.

I would rate AppleTV MLB coverage for the Braves game I saw as “ok” but that’s in comparison to Ballys coverage. I’m not a soccer fan so not much interest in them. Also don’t like big corps owning everything.

Lucky Apple is only $6-7 per month, otherwise I'd drop it. I've watched a couple series and watching Jon Stewart's show now, couple movies here and there, but it's far from being a replacement for cable/satellite.

 

 

I only have Apple TV to watch Charlotte FC lose each week. I’ll prob be getting rid of that soon.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
