I didn't compare him to Rogan. I compared him to Rogan fans. He's bland and hides what I see as very limited insight behind the excessive use of jargon.
Gotta agree here. Tice’s insight seems limited, shallow, and or wrong a fair amount of the time. He then uses a bunch of jargon which he seldom explains and a bunch of analogies to obscure his poo poo analysis.

quote:

If you like him, great. I don't and have been disappointed with his constant appearances on a podcast I liked before he got intimately involved. Tice is the little devil on Robert Mays shoulder. Bill Barnwell is the angel, hidden away behind a paywall.

Gotta agree with this as well. I’m glad Robert had somebody to help carry the load. During the start of the pandemic he was my most listened to podcast. It seems a lot more manageable for him with a second person on the podcast. I just wish it was Barnwell, they were a great team, but alas different companies.

Also Tice interrupts people too much and is too verbose.

I still listen to the podcast though, Mays is good :)

I always found Barnwell to be a little too into how clever he is, but I think as a more pessimistic analyst he and Mays made an outstanding team. I miss their partnership. I still think Mays and Tice are overall the best current podcast of that type though.

IIRC it is, I had espn+ for MLS last year and I could access all the paywalled articles

Definitely agree with this. Barnwell and Mays brought out the best in one another while downplaying each others more obnoxious qualities. Tice has the opposite effect on Mays, emphasizing the player worship, restaurant chat derails, and less interesting analysis.

I get ESPN+ through my cell phone plan and use it to watch hockey games over a VPN to get around blackouts, it works... just okay. Quality isn't great and the framerate seems to stutter a bit regardless of my connection speed which is especially jarring in hockey. Wouldn't pay for it if it wasn't included.

Tice is an epic bacon scout masquerading as some type of sullen authority on QBs—he likes tools because he never had any to begin with.

Anyone can clip plays where a dude does the right thing. Does he do it consistently? Is he working with his receivers? What happens when you make the right read but not the right throw? Like yes, AR is not a project in the sense of having utterly no idea how to play football. Same time, everyone telling me that it’s because the passing game and receivers were bad, no. Those receivers were fine. Guys like Shorter were talented enough you should be able to do something. They’re not world beaters, but people comparing it to what Allen was throwing in and to at Wyoming are kidding themselves a bit.

I only listen to the episodes with Mays and another guest. I cannot stand Tice, and I think you put my feelings into words. He's so over the top about what he likes and so dismissive of what he doesn't, and he can never be wrong.

It's our go-to for filling dead air, basically, and not anything we'd renew if it wasn't bundled with Disney and Hulu.

College sports and the NHL are the big things. As Fifty Three alluded to, there are local blackouts on NHL stuff if your team has some other streaming service affiliated with it. We're not going to pay $20 a month for the Ballysports thing to see the Wild, so ironically we see our own NHL team the least. The NCAA Hockey tournament has been on there, which loving rules.

It is also how we started watching Cricket, because it's on in the evening/night and was something to put on between other shows after taking an edible on the weekend.

Also we use it on our TV via app over wired internet, and it streams at full rez smoothly on that setup.

Interesting data point here, appreciate you sharing that detail. I watch it on a "Chromecast w/Google TV" (god I hate that name) with a wired connection and I'm pretty sure it stutters even without a VPN, I'll have to experiment. 4k video works fine on other apps on the same device, so who knows.

When it first starts up it's lower resolution until it buffers a bit and goes to 4k, and it's not unusual to get a single pause to buffer for ~15 seconds a few minutes into a game (and it does pause instead of skip forward when it does that, which is kind of weird). But yeah, after that it runs without any problems. We're using the Hulu app on an LG TV and no VPN, but it is good to know someone could *in theory* do that to get around blackouts.

In the case of the Chromecast, there's an app for the VPN I use and it sets everything up seamlessly and I can toggle it at will. Pretty handy.

Will Johnston be in range for a trade up. I can see him being the second WR off the board. Addison seems to have slipped and Zay Flowers will need to go to the right team.

Flowers on the Chiefs would be monstrous though. I have him as WR2 for the Chiefs.

I like Zay Flowers. In the limited highlights I've watched, I'm not as high on Hyatt because it seems like most of his yardage came from playing against lovely coverage that just ran directly behind. Maybe that translates, but with NFL safeties, I assume not as well?

I also know literally nothing and wanted the Chiefs to draft Trubisky, so I'm an idiot.
