I can see one other house from mine and I can only see it when the leaves are off. Behind me to the south is literally just miles of untouched wilderness.

When I go home I want to be able to forget the rest of the world exists.

Yeah I love my solitude.  But I also love my internet connection, at least for now. I still need it for work.

Still waiting on Elon to quit fuging around with tanking Twitter and get me some damn Starlink. Been on the waiting list for over two years and had the date pushed back three times.

They are just going to put you in the overcrowded Atlanta cell with the rest of us and the new 1 TB data cap.

For now.

As we've talked about over multiple months in (Nerdvana?) that other streaming thread, there are discussions in play for the content providers (Disney, Netflix, Paramount+ etc....) teaming up to offer a single streaming package of all their channels together.   

Rumored initial price point is $100/month (depending on the participants, of course).  This would be separate from your Internet connectivity bill.  So you may still be looking at $150-$200/month for your new "cable package".   *shrug*

Happy to continue the non-NFL-related streaming convo over in that other thread so as not to hijack the topic here.

That sounds like just repackaged cable/satellite service to me. And the price is there too.

I was going to reply, "i listen to YouTube/YouTube Music via my phone in the car all the time, what are you talking about".

Until I remembered that I'm not plugging into a USB port, but using an audio aux input instead.  Benefits of driving an older vehicle, I guess.

That was actually my solution.  I called it "the dumb cord" that I hooked into my "smart" phone.  My phone doesn't have an aux jack anymore, but youtube has restored my ability to stream my phone thru that same truck.  I can do it thru bluetooth again.

Can't wait to cancel for my restaurant in January. Youtube TV is 80 to 90 times better as as service than Direct TV. Gone are the antiquated searching through a long list of text channels to find the game you need.

Confirmed the NFL won't be happy with bars airing YouTube games:

The new deal has split the two out, with YouTube currently only having access to the $2 billion residential rights, with the NFL looking for a partner to take on the $200 million-per-year commercial rights

Damn!  That sucks. I live in Haywood County and we either pay Charter for the internet service or a wireless service.  I get 200+ mbps easily here but I'm not that far out from the control station even though I live in a rural area.  AT&T is a joke.

Small world, I'm in Haywood County as well! I live out in Cruso and can only get Zito. Most of the time it's adequate and around 150ish MBPS but when there is an issue there isn't a worse customer service in the world to deal with.

It is indeed! Cruso has my sympathy my fellow mountain folk. Options vary the future out you go doesn't it? I'm only 3 mile off I40 so that helps me tremendously.  But the further out you venture from Asheville the more remote and disconnected you become.  You will not get any cell service in Northern Haywood County, as you've probably experienced.  Don't not break down in the gorge.

Ooooh, one thing of interest to most Huddlers is that streaming (no matter who is doing it) tends to be at bit behind real-time broadcasts.

So for those of you who like to actively participate in each week's Game thread, be prepared to find out results of plays in the online chat/Twitter before you actually see the play on the stream.

Good thing for me is I don't use either.

I'm actually the last house on my road that can get cable internet so I definitely feel fortunate in that aspect everyone else is stuck with terrible satellite sevice.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
