Okay..this is my first post ever. I've been a LOOOOOOONG time lurker, but I've finally come out of the shadows and registered an account just to help the OP of this thread (and any other Panther fans stuck out of market).

Sorry if this has already been posted (If so..mods feel free to delete this thread) Based on the thread referenced it doesn't seem like too many people are aware of this just yet though.

This year DirecTV supposedly IS going to make Sunday Ticket available online to non-directv subscribers. The price is going to be $350. Some articles are saying that you have to prove to them that you are "not able" to get satellite (think apartment or obstructed view), however its debatable on how they are going to enforce this. Probably just a questionnaire when you sign up. Sign ups start Sept. 9th.

Here's some articles on it..

USA Today - http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2010/08/directv-to-offer-nfl-sunday-ticket-to-non-subscribers-via-the-internet/1

NY Times - http://fifthdown.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/25/limited-availability-for-online-sunday-ticket/

And here's an official page for it on the directv website...

I found all this out because I switched to satellite today (I live in NC..but still wanted to watch all the other games and got a sweet deal) and somehow stumbled it across it as I was researching Sunday Ticket.

Supposedly they are not going to market this heavily.

Those just go out or may freeze up, or may be a step slow. I would think direct tv may be a lil more reliable. But paying 350 dollars for that.... idk

I know if I do decide to do it I will read through that agreement, print it out and some more poo cause direct tv play dirty

that's a bit much, i don't see why they charge so much (obviously because people will pay it)

seems like if they just said, ok, you can watch this game for 5$ or so they'd bank by getting lots of single game hits. especially with so many mediums to share their platform (PS3, android, Ipod, laptop, etc).

It is very limited from what I have read wanted to see all the restrictions. But it sounds like if you can actually get direct tv then you can get the online version of sunday ticket. They require you to ask certain questions but I wonder if you live in a building is one then you can stretch the truth a little. Also they are not taking orders yet looks like you cant order til the 9th.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
