Imagine if they come up with a subscription service that combines everything we like to watch, including live sports, into one monthly payment for a reasonable price. So that we wouldn’t have to log into all these different streaming services and get nickel and dimed.

Oh wait, that’s what we had 5 years ago with cable (and it was at least reasonably priced in areas with competition).

You just knew this was the end result when all this streaming crap started. And just wait, the greed will continue to make it worse. 
 

Only way to get this to reverse is for us all to stop paying these prices for these largely worthless services. 


 

 

It's circling back to a cable bundle model, as streamers (other than netflix) are all losing money and figure merging services is the solution

Correct lol.... I get Peacock, HBO, ESPN+, Disney+ and Hulu free with my job but prior to this I did pay for Peacock for the above reasons.

Time to pull out the old and trusty, not so official streams. 

ALL the games used to be on network TV in the 70s and 80s. The NFL is simply greedy. Cable networks and streaming apps are effective paywalls. I am not adverse to  a hole-in-the-wall though, if you know what I mean.

Until you realize this is NFLs trial run for eventually making the entire post-season PPV on various services. 

It's the principle. Not the amount of money.

I hear you brother, thank you for making a stand.  If the NFL wants PPV they will do it no matter what I or you do.  Greed wins every time which is sickening

The Tinderbox spent 15 years trying to radicalize the Huddle but the NFL going to streaming services eventually did it.

Arise ye workers from your slumbers
Arise ye prisoners of want
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of cant.

Disney+ is where it's at, man. 

Bluey and disney movies for days. 

Plus Star Wars 😉

For me the real appeal for Disney+ is all the 4k content.  It’s very impressive.

The Star Wars trilogy in 4k is absolutely beautiful especially for A New Hope that came out in 1977.  Amazing

This was a big year and step.  In terms of going to the streamers. 

Amazon Prime got TNF

And in the same year they move a playoff game to a service. 

It’s going to get worse and probably quick.  Then the streaming services are going to reconsider how quick people can cancel.  Probably goes from a month to locked into a quarter or some bullshit

Or multi tiered subscriptions like

1. Basic Peacock

2. Peacock without Ads

3. Peacock + NFL package

This is naturally what's happening and people will buy and cancel for a month.  I've done it few times with AppleTV+.  There's too many options now as the conglomerates are trying to reshuffle the streaming game.  I mean, there's what?.. 

AppleTV+

Disney: Hulu, Disney+, ESPN

Netflix

Amazon: PrimeTV

WarnerBros: Max 

The two that will continue to struggle (no matter what show rights they own):

Paramount: Paramount+

Comcast/NBC: Peacock

 

I'm pushing back on Paramount+. As a parent of toddlers, it's a must. Paw Patrol and SpongeBob on demand. Lol

      Panthers Prospect Visits/Meetings

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Princely is supposed to go off the board between about 35 and 50, which suggests that the Panthers could move up for him--especially if they move back in round 1. I REALLY like this edge for the Panthers.  Not sold on Walker (love the kid), Stewart (big ole bowl of NOPE), Williams (too much unknown about him, but he is a stud)... The film shows a pass rusher who operates best with his hand in the dirt in wide alignments where he can maximize his length and burst. His third-down impact jumps off the screen – the way he embarrassed Georgia's right tackle with a lightning-quick first step before countering inside showcases exactly what he brings to an NFL front. Moving him around the formation unlocks his versatility - he's got the juice to threaten the edge and enough savvy to loop inside on stunts, creating constant confusion for protection schemes. When studying his season-long progression at Ole Miss, his technical growth under position coach Randall Joyner stands out. Early in the year, he was winning primarily on pure athleticism. By November, he was setting up tackles with deliberate rush plans, shown perfectly in that three-game stretch where he racked up six sacks using three different signature moves. The consistency in high-leverage situations - third downs, two-minute drills, red zone - demonstrates a rusher ready to contribute in crucial passing situations from day one. After breaking down over 500 snaps, Umanmielen's blend of physical skills and technical refinement suggests a player whose development is still on a sharp upward trajectory. His dominance against SEC competition wasn't just about winning with athleticism - it was his ability to string together multiple rush moves and counter effectively when his initial plan failed. In the right system that lets him pin his ears back and hunt quarterbacks from wide alignments, he has the tools to become one of the premier pass rushers in this class.  This suggests he is a learner and will work to get better.  Now, the other teams that like him according to this tweet --Atlanta (picking 46th in round 2), Tampa Bay (picking 53rd in round 2), and Green Bay (picking 54th in round 2) will pick before the Panthers in Round 2.  If you see Carolina trading up in in round 2 to around 43-44-45, it will cost them both 4th rounders (estimate). However, if they have a S, Edge, and WR on days 1 and 2, the fourth rounders would be worth it.
