It's still kind of amazing that in the top 10 (5?) tweets of all time, Stephen A parodies show up twice.

Peanut President posted:I mean if you're gonna make that argument then they should shitcan the whole league since they're always up against somebody's playoffs seeing as how 1 is in winter, 1 is in fall, and 2 are in spring/summer. I mean "You shouldn't play an outdoor sport in winter when a bunch of your teams are in the midwest" seems pretty easy to follow....

Minnesota just built an outdoor stadium for their team, so that would kinda suck if you moved it to a winter sport (for some reason). Seriously, February outdoor games would be health hazards.

EmotionlessThug posted:Maybe I'm just being cynical but I think he was trying to say "the HK conflict should be a sacred cow like Palestine so that everyone's scared to criticize China over it" not "while we're talking about HK let's also all go and join Gaza aid flotillas" I'm pretty sure that's what he meant but he is sorta inadvertently making the other point.

I don't mind him so much for baseball. He's definitely a blowhard but maybe my tolerance is better for that in baseball? You kinda need someone to make noises but not really say anything to fill the dead air. He's horrid for NFL. I won't say the worst but that's just because the bar is set so low.

Timby posted:Buck has said on multiple occasions that he finds baseball boring and doesn't like watching it, but he keeps calling it because Fox throws bucketloads of money at him to do it. This might be why I find him decent for baseball, I can relate to this.

algebra testes posted:Is this a long term trend of Basketball becoming the dominant sport? Or just a case of "there are so many more things to do now than just watch the super bowl" Basketball is down too, not quite as markedly as NFL though (which had an absurd peak of viewership for a while there). It's more of a "People aren't watching as much TV and the casual fan is shrinking" thing.

I like the "pick your opponent"aspect but I think adding more playoff spots hurts regular season play. Baseball it's the only sport where just making the playoffs is a big deal and good. I hate to lose that.

Yeah, I am pretty sure Buck really doesn't like baseball but despite (because of?) that he's one of the better broadcasters, especially nationally. I don't really like him for football, but I am beginning to think football broadcasters should have a shelf life of like 3 years, max.

Don't forget the tail. When they start releasing stuff they will have tons of shows and movies that will be behind schedule, many of which will get canceled without recouping a dime. Disney+ was released at a good time, but with no new content going there it's going to see a huge surge of cancellations once the quarantine is fully lifted. They'll figure it out, but it wouldn't be surprising if they have to sell off some properties to do it.

Henchman of Santa posted:It’s all about The U for me. Not particularly informative or groundbreaking but extremely fun. This but the Winning Time one about Reggie Miller. It wasn't particularly ground breaking but a documentary on Reggie Miller trash talking was certainly welcome. As well as a documentary on how Cheryl just destroyed him growing up.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Unfortunately I disagree, often when blowhards like him strike out on their own to be unfiltered, they do fine. Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Bill Simmons....all very rich people who got richer after leaving. Simmons would be the closest comparison but he went to HBO, not off on his own. I think Whitlock has a scattered audience but not like any of those guys.

General Dog posted:What do young non sports fans want live, streaming cable service for? I enjoy the convenience of being able to cloud-DVR whatever cable series I still watch and have them in the same place, but I don't think there are many of them that are unavailable next-day on one conventional streaming service or another. "Random TV shows on as background" is still pretty common among people.
