I think the local stuff will for sure be another subscription, but I could see national stuff being simulcast on prime. Honestly letting me get my local team with league pass would immediately get them my money.

I mean that was an awful answer to that question but he's been a really good commissioner for no other reason than he's navigated every CBA without any work stoppage or acrimony with the players. Things like the play-in and IST have been great changes, and the Bubble was pretty successful way of keeping the league going while being safe. He has a really successful resume as commissioner beyond Sterling.

Rick posted:The bubble is the only one of those things I think is good and they undermined it the next season by forcing games to take place where people had definitely been exposed to COVID and then further in the year when he leaned on cities to return fans to the building during the still currently ongoing pandemic. I think opening the door for direct Saudi investment, and not only ignoring the capture of their media partners by sports gambling but actually promoting it are terrible developments. All of your negatives are things that happened across US and worldwide sports, going out of your way to pin stuff that is universally happening on 1 commissioner doesn't seem particularly fruitful.

I thought Mcafee's ratings were pretty good? And yeah Rogers was actually pretty decent at hosting. He's fairly naturally charismatic and he doesn't really care about people watching him, which is a good combo for a game show host. Doesn't mean you know poo poo about anything though.

I'm guessing it'll be an extra fee but if it's reasonable that's still a big win.

Truther Vandross posted:I thought Romo was fine yesterday before he got all weird in OT. I generally agree except I really don't want to hear about Kelce's leverage anymore. Didn't I hear something about a new president coming in? Could be some selective coverage because new guy wants to clean house. I also like Olsen but I also think color commentators basically always have a shelf life and should be rotated.

DJExile posted:Romo stepped all over Nantz’s call of the final TD too and never let the moment breathe. Yeah in OT he started babbling too much and I think he kinda forgot he was part of a booth team. I thought regulation he was ok, or at least he was like Tony Romo kinda always is.

The American Dream posted:What’s the number 1 pick make on their rookie contract and how many years before they’re extension eligible? Because if it’s like 3 years $1million total she’ll make 10-20 times that in sponsorships the next year alone. And that’s if fox doesn’t pay her to stay another year (if they can do it). She will make the sponsorship money either way.

I think Jaime is largely known to be a very reclusive, standoffish guy so I think he probably just doesn't have a lot of friends in general. And if you are like that Adam Savage is probably the last guy you want to go to dinner with.

Well, that isn't a problem for the leagues though, they aren't asking for a % of new subscribers or whatever, they're asking for a flat rate. Amazon/peacock/whoever is paying them that flat rate with the hope that it will entice enough people to sign up (and then ideally forget they have a subscription for years). For basketball in particular, very very few people watch every game for their teams and no one is watching every game out there, it's impossible. I dunno if Amazon is going to take over Wednesday night games or whatever, but this probably will only impact 2-4 games a week, and there are usually like 50+ games in an average week, and most of them are not watchable for most people anyway. If Portland is playing Charlotte on Amazon, it's unlikely most people would have watched that game anyway. How they intend to get and broadcast conference finals is more interesting, I would be surprised if its an Amazon-Only thing, though they play playoff games on NBATV which not everyone has access to either. Basically, what I'd like is just League Pass with all games, but if we can't have that I prefer games to be accessible on a platform that's not cable TV since I have no intention of signing up for cable TV.
