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

      Charlotte Hornets Offseason Moves

      By jfra78 · Posted

      Bleacher Report trade and mock has us trading to 9 and picking SG Brayden Burries Charlotte Hornets recieve: Kyrie Irving and No. 9 pick Dallas Mavericks receive: LaMelo Ball, No. 14 pick and No. 18 pick The Hornets just finished their sixth season with Ball. It was only their second with a winning record, their sixth without a playoff trip and the sixth in which someone else paced them in win shares (Kon Knueppel this time around). While they'd surely like to keep building on their second-half momentum, maybe they're just unconvinced that Ball can lead a winning team. Maybe they credit that stretch run less to him and more to the addition of Knueppel, the ascension of Brandon Miller and some out-of-nowhere gains on the defensive end.   Charlotte should be dreaming big right now, and perhaps it believes a steadier hand at point guard is needed to realize that. Or maybe it feels it needs a little more time to bring everything together and thinks that task would be simpler without Ball's money on the books and with a top-10 pick in a loaded draft instead of two selections in the mid-teens.   Either way, this shakeup works. Short-term, a healthy Irving should be far easier to follow than Ball. You may not always know if Irving is playing, but you know what you'll get if he does: elite shotmaking, all-time handles, offensive ingenuity and the ability to work both on and off the ball. He could show this young roster what's required to win for a year or two (he has a $42.4 million player option for 2027-28) or even stick around longer if the partnership proves especially fruitful.   The Hornets also add a building block in Burries, who offers both plug-and-play polish and flashes of shot-creation that hint at star potential. In short, they could better their chances of winning both now and in the future while collecting both the best player in the trade and the highest draft pic

      Maybe? Maybe....?

      I'd hire him in a heartbeat. Hell if he wanted the job, I'd have Canales packing his poo right now and I don't dislike Canales. It's just that firing a 106-58 coach is crazy work. That's a 65% winning percentage. That's the equivalent of averaging 11 wins a season. That's incomprehensible for a fanbase That's never experienced back to back winning seaons.
