Time Warner and the NFL need to come up with a resolution, it's getting ridiculous. NFL network has been on air for nine years and Time Warner still doesn't carry them.

I went dish for this reason and this reason only. Would never go back. I did call TWC once to ask them why they would not carry it, they blamed NFL Network of extortion, said they were asking twice what Dish was paying. NFL Network says TWC wants a better deal than Dish.

Interesting Stat I heard last year--keep in mind NFL Network reaches a fraction of the country--the combine coverage had a bigger audience than Professional baseball during the same week. I will get challenged on that, so I am looking to see if I can find it.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).

      We clearly need to add a veteran stopgap at safety one way or the other.
