From the article:

(A)ccording to sources briefed on negotiations, ESPN and the NFL are inside the 5-yard line on another ground-breaking deal for ESPN to acquire NFL Media, the arm of the league that focuses on content and runs the NFL Network.

The deal, though different from the way the league and the all-sports network deepened their ties in 1987, comes as ESPN makes its programming available in a direct-to-consumer product this fall. ESPN is hyping this upcoming iteration as “The Next Era,” at a price of $29.99 per month.

While a contract between ESPN and the NFL is not signed, the two sides have been closing in on talks that first began four years ago, heated up a little more than a year and half ago and now are the closest they have ever been, with the league even informing its owners they may be needed for a vote on it early next month, as first reported by Sports Business Journal.

Them just making everything more expensive and re-creating cable is just going to drive people away. They fail to realize this in an atmosphere where the demographics are massively against them.

yeah, the big money totally killed the whole cord cutter streaming move.   You like football or basically anything? Well, you just need to purchase 87 subscriptions to watch the season/games/story play out. 

only good setup right now is the not so very popular MLS. MLS pass on Apple airs every team, every game.     Even unpopluar stuff like trying to watch Caitlin Clark or something requires jumping from app to app to app.

I more often end up just rewatching games after the fact or using other "alternatives" for live games.

I mean I couldn't even watch a fuging summer league game without a subscription.

This sh*t is beyond out of hand.

      I know it was obvious and I know the ref is to blame! But KB is a bum and my original post was about the situation in its entirety. You are right, he did touch him and that's why I said lay down on him to make it obvious. But KB did everything half assed and that is why he had less than a five year career. But the way Cam supported that kid and the way he ended up acting in the end is a dark spot on the franchise. It just doesn't sit well with me and never will. He literally left here talking about ball placement from a league MVP.

      DLine has to be 50-79 or 90-99. So it’s likely to stay 92 over 62 or 52. Scourton and Phillips can wear a poo ton of numbers as “linebackers”, but the war daddy’s are still pretty limited.
