Bad, very bad!
Buffalo:

'Saturday, 8:52 a.m. ET Update: The forecast from The Weather Channel now calls for a 65% chance of snow at kickoff, with 11 MPH winds and the real-feel temperature at 20 degrees. Based on the forecast, nearly one inch of snow is expected to fall during the game.'

This is actually sort of good news that it's only one inch during the game (or bad news for us if you wanted more). Lake effect snow warning in place until one tomorrow afternoon.

Patrick Hammer, supposedly a Buffalo meteorologist who is also a man named Patrick Hammer posted:

Currently about 9 inches of snow on the ground. Still snowing with heavier snow expected to move back towards the stadium game time.

He's a 7th round pick?!?!? Why would a former 7th rounder have any sort of an ego? Your hanging in the league by your fingertips, why piss people off?

A 7th who was inactive every game of his rookie year too! Pissed about merely playing less, like this year isn't already the most he's played in the league

apple dropped out of the sunday ticket bidding so now its down to google/youtube vs amazon

https://www.theverge.com/2022/12/17/23513966/apple-nfl-sunday-ticket-negotiations-exit

i do love that some of the reasons are apple correctly pointing out how loving stupidly limited the sunday ticket package is and also they wanted to do some bundling that the nfl hated

quote:

iPhone maker reportedly wanted to gain the rights to aspects not included in its Sunday Ticket contract, and also expressed concern over some of the limitations that come along with the football package, such as the fact that it can’t stream the games internationally, nor can it access in-market games. On Friday, a report from Sportico revealed that Apple wanted to bundle Sunday Ticket with its $6.99 per month Apple TV Plus subscription at no added cost, something reporter Anthony Crupi describes as “a far too magnanimous gesture” for the NFL.

If Sunday Ticket just had all the drat games, it would be fine. Figure out whatever revenue sharing deal you need with the other broadcasters and make it happen.

The NFL isn't going to do anything to make their offerings less lovely because fans are still paying for it. I actually would root for Amazon in this situation because they have done a really good job with their TNF offering and I would be fine with them applying that model to more games.

The Prime TNF coverage is so good it’s kind of insane. They do a fantastic job with it. I was hoping for Apple to scoop up some NFL action but if not then I hope it’s Amazon.
