It's called AI. Progressive, if you will....

You use a generative AI lately?  They would have the Panthers scoring 900 points a game, Bryce Young catching 100 TDs, and Brian Burns as the super bowl half time =P

Honestly, the Panthers are more than capable of getting in their own way.  They don't need anyone to write that story.

I can't imagine ESPN surviving much longer in its current form. Disney and Spectrum just got done with their slap fight and ESPN price seemed to be a sticking point. 

Spectrum (aka Charter) was paying $200m *a month* to Disney for ESPN and all the other associated Disney channels. That's about $1.8b per year in licensing fees.

Charter took a stand and said, if we're going to pay you this much money AND you're competing with us with the proposed direct-to-consumer ESPN streaming service that's going to come eventually.... either give us something more favorable to the consumer or you'll lose out on some much-needed cable money.  So Charter subscribers are getting access to Disney's ad-supported streams and other stuff.... and footing a higher ESPN charge along the way for the effort.

I suspect the other cable companies will try to negotiate a similar situation when their contracts come up for renewal with Disney

Thanks, was worried I might not be able to catch the game on antenna. Side note, wish all our games weren’t on Fox. Fox signal on my antenna is absolute poo no matter what I do. Get everything else crystal clear.

I'm antenna as well. I get it great on 1 tv, and hardly at all on the other. Makes no sense, same antenna on both.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
