Comcast/NBC execs need to know by now that Peacock isn't gonna happen.  

But I guess they're trying again after Disney bought Comcast's (NBCUniversal's) remaining Hulu stake. 

So now NBC is trying their darnest to push Peacock and no one is biting.  They're gonna keep trying.  Prepare for more annoying sh*t

 

Two words about last night game. Taylor Swift. They banked on all the swifties paying for peacock to broaden the market. They didn’t give a poo about actual football fans.

It’s a much larger deal than Swift. People are overblowing how much the NFL and networks are hyping her or whatnot. So what, they show her in a booth like they do with owners for a few seconds during a game. It’s really not a big deal.

She’s become arguably the most successful music star in history from a monetary standpoint. She’s in that Garth Brooks/The Beatles/MJ tier when it comes to sales, tours and cultural impact. As a guitarist, not my cup of tea but I say, so what, it’s really overblown IMO.

Oh I agree on all fronts but I think you are underestimating swifties or what ever they are called.

I cut all my streaming services.  I may sign up for Apple when Masters of the Air comes on, but the cost of all of them was getting ludicrous. 

Also, at one point in time, boxing was one of the biggest sports in the US.  Millions watched Sugar Ray Leonard or Ali on network TV.   But all their main events were PPV.  Don't get me wrong, boxing had a lot of problems, but PPV is one of the reasons that it is no longer a major sport.  

NFL should take that lesson to heart. 

Yeah, but UFC essentially took boxing out didn’t?  And UFC uses essentially the same PPV format boxing did.

      Typical Rod ECF Team

      By Stumpy · Posted

      I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.

      Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!

      How much does an NFL radio play-by-play announcer make?

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      According to Scott Fowler, in an article about former Panthers announcer applying for a job with the Ravens... what that job pays, incidentally, when the Ravens posted it publicly they said the salary would be $4,000 to $5,000 per game. An NFL season consists of 20-24 games, including the preseason and potential playoff games, so it will end up somewhere between $80,000 and $120,000 a year. The person hired will be an independent contractor, which is commonplace in the NFL these days for team broadcasters, and also have other radio and TV hosting assignments.  https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article315839800.html
