Imagine if they come up with a subscription service that combines everything we like to watch, including live sports, into one monthly payment for a reasonable price. So that we wouldn’t have to log into all these different streaming services and get nickel and dimed.

Oh wait, that’s what we had 5 years ago with cable (and it was at least reasonably priced in areas with competition).

You just knew this was the end result when all this streaming crap started. And just wait, the greed will continue to make it worse. 
 

Only way to get this to reverse is for us all to stop paying these prices for these largely worthless services. 


 

 

It's circling back to a cable bundle model, as streamers (other than netflix) are all losing money and figure merging services is the solution

Correct lol.... I get Peacock, HBO, ESPN+, Disney+ and Hulu free with my job but prior to this I did pay for Peacock for the above reasons.

Time to pull out the old and trusty, not so official streams. 

ALL the games used to be on network TV in the 70s and 80s. The NFL is simply greedy. Cable networks and streaming apps are effective paywalls. I am not adverse to  a hole-in-the-wall though, if you know what I mean.

Until you realize this is NFLs trial run for eventually making the entire post-season PPV on various services. 

It's the principle. Not the amount of money.

I hear you brother, thank you for making a stand.  If the NFL wants PPV they will do it no matter what I or you do.  Greed wins every time which is sickening

The Tinderbox spent 15 years trying to radicalize the Huddle but the NFL going to streaming services eventually did it.

Arise ye workers from your slumbers
Arise ye prisoners of want
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of cant.

Disney+ is where it's at, man. 

Bluey and disney movies for days. 

Plus Star Wars 😉

For me the real appeal for Disney+ is all the 4k content.  It’s very impressive.

The Star Wars trilogy in 4k is absolutely beautiful especially for A New Hope that came out in 1977.  Amazing

This was a big year and step.  In terms of going to the streamers. 

Amazon Prime got TNF

And in the same year they move a playoff game to a service. 

It’s going to get worse and probably quick.  Then the streaming services are going to reconsider how quick people can cancel.  Probably goes from a month to locked into a quarter or some bullshit

Or multi tiered subscriptions like

1. Basic Peacock

2. Peacock without Ads

3. Peacock + NFL package

This is naturally what's happening and people will buy and cancel for a month.  I've done it few times with AppleTV+.  There's too many options now as the conglomerates are trying to reshuffle the streaming game.  I mean, there's what?.. 

AppleTV+

Disney: Hulu, Disney+, ESPN

Netflix

Amazon: PrimeTV

WarnerBros: Max 

The two that will continue to struggle (no matter what show rights they own):

Paramount: Paramount+

Comcast/NBC: Peacock

 

I'm pushing back on Paramount+. As a parent of toddlers, it's a must. Paw Patrol and SpongeBob on demand. Lol

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
