Does Peacock archive matches for later viewing?

That's a relief - I was worried that a streaming-first offer was going to land it. I know I haven't watched much Serie A, Bundesliga, or La Liga since they went to CBS Sports and ESPN.

3/18/2023: Day of the Dorks
When an NHL game is listed as ESPN+ or Hulu, does that mean it's also available on Hulu in the US? It's pretty unclear since when I go to the game tab on Hulu it just tells me to watch on ESPN+.

EDIT: Nvm, looks like it is playing on Hulu, so that's nice except they missed the first minute and a goal..

I think this is it... I think this is how it ends
I think I posted it in the relevant NFL thread but Yahoo did a pretty good breakdown on why the NFL, or at least the networks will never move the Lions out of that early Thanksgiving Window: it does monster numbers but very few match-ups on the schedule will also bring those sorts of numbers, and none of the networks is prepared to move what is a guaranteed monster draw elsewhere in the season for a Detroit Lions game which would end up in that slot

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I have a certain affinity for Detroit sports that I can't honestly explain.

Are the Tigers any good? I'm trying to parse out how Javy Baez decided on 6 years in Detroit.

Not really. They have been actively bad since like 2016, this most recent season they were just mediocre so possibly on the upswing going forward. Javy Baez strikes out a ton and Detroit is desperate to get back into contention

The Tigers have a fairly young, promising starting rotation, two promising bats on the cusp of making the major league roster & Miggy's stupid contract comes off the books fairly soon. They were 9-24 on the 9th May, and somehow dragged themselves to flirting with .500 by the end of the season

The pitching is the only thing going for them. Their offense has been putrid for awhile.

They will have prospects like Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene up by the end of next season though.

It's just very weird, I think he just allows himself to have more fun now.

Like whenever he was a guest on like Chicago radio, he'd be fun and affable, and I come away generally liking him, but he was just sleep powder on football and especially baseball broadcasts.
