I've historically watched on ESPN, but watched it on NFL Network last year because watching Kiper is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Plus ESPN always seems to cut away right when the Panthers are up. Guess it's debatable which network provides better analysis. Who ya got, and why?

NFLN. ESPN is absolute trash in all facets and has been for like a decade now. Any sports news I want to catch up on on the tv come from the sports specific channels— NFLN for football, NHLN for hockey, NBATV for basketball, etc. I never put ESPN on except when they get to air a live sporting event I’m interested in.

I was an ESPN guy until NFL Network started covering it.  After that I left for NFL Network and only tune in briefly if NFLN goes to commercial or something.  The quality of the analysis between the networks was pretty stark for those first 8-10 years or so.  It was like NFLN was for the more knowledgeable fans and ESPN was catering to casual fans and lacked substance.  In the last few years ESPN has seemed to start putting a little more substance into the broadcast (not coincidentally when Berman left).

I can't watch ESPN---Kiper is an idiot, Bermen needs to grow up---

I started watching NFL Network---I liked Mayock over Kiper and they brought in David Shaw a lot for the first round--what a class act that guy is.

For future reference, NFL Network is much better.

I go back and forth. I usually find that the channel with the fewest people on set is the best. When they have a lot of people, it tend to become a fight for airtime. A set of 3-4 people is best.

i get a kick out of Kiper, don’t mind him too much.

Can’t stand Dion Sanders doing interviews, brutal stuff

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
