Roger Goodell Wants Wi-Fi In Every Stadium.


Recommended Posts

Was watching NFLN. Goodell was on, conference.

He was talking about how in a conversation with the CEO of Nike, he mentioned to him that NBA players have more padding from the waist down and blah blah blah, safety this, and so on.

Then they moved on to some talks about how they have a plan to have Wi-Fi available for all 31 stadiums so the fans can stay connected. Fantasy football, redzone, etc.

They asked him how this would be thought out, how it would be paid for. He said there are some partners he would like to get, so they can help this vision go forth.

What I was thinking, would this fall to the PSL owners? They there be a price hike? All this is fairly new and I'm not sure of the schematics of it. But he didn't really address who would pay for it. I'm not a PSL owner, aspiring to be one day, but I'd be kinda peeved that the bill would fall on my lap.

Any folks with insight on this type of deals?

Probably would be in a partnership with a local internet provider. "Official WiFi provider of the Carolina Panthers" type deal.

It would probably entail putting routers at various points throughout the stadium. The trick would be to not provide free WIFi for the whole neighborhood. You would need to have either 1 huge wireless router, or multiple routers throughout the stadium.

They're going to make beer 10$ a bottle....

The last time I went to BoA, I paid $6 for a bottle. I nursed the hell out of that beer. Then I got thirsty again, bought another one. I realized I could have bought a 12 pack of beer for the two freaking bottles I just slowing sipped. Never again man. Next time I go, I'm going in drunk to the game.

They could turn the router off except for Sundays..and have a new password for every game. The password can be printed on tickets/etickets..or they could list the new password every Sunday through screens located throughout the facility. Wouldn't be that hard to do and would cater to individuals at the game.

I always drink before I go, I was drinking Jack at 10:00 am at the ATL game last season, but I always end up buying a couple before its all said and done.

No idea why anyone would need this. First of all, who doesn't have 3G or 4G these days. Secondly, you should be too busy drinking and watching the damn game to Tweet your witty insights to your 12 followers.

    • I have seen little inclination that they are laying down on him, that I can agree with. I don't think we are going to ever see much in the way of unfiltered opinions in the public realm from his teammates because that's extremely rare and extremely toxic behavior.  It's certainly a positive thing that they support him but, again, that doesn't make a successful NFL starting QB. Playing well on Sunday's does.  That is what has been lacking to date. He is not playing well consistently enough to be considered an NFL starting QB. He has to improve there. Be more consistent. Be more decisive. Make correct decisions more frequently. 
    • That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do. 
    • Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.
