That's basically what Sling tv is already. $20 a month for ESPN, ESPN2, TNT and a bunch of other disney and other cable channels with upgradable packages for the other ESPN stuff. Few downsides like the xbox app is atrocious, ESPN and like half the channels(?) disable the pausing / show replay features of it and the commercials are pretty much only the same dozen ESPN office ads on loop mixed with 1-2 ABC show ads that play over and over and over again.

No no, see, they'll curate it for you so it's so much better of an experience. Though I won't say they're the worst on that, loving NFLN's draft coverage was rotten with twitter and fantasy football segments.

So here's some Boston bullshit from some thin skinned Boston babymen: Bomani Jones this morning had a segment on his radio show where he talked about how Boston goes nuts over gritty white dudes (the most obvious segment ever). WEEI and apparently Stephen A Smith have gone nuts over it because it means Bomani Jones just called everyone in Boston a kkk member. Bomani's been pretty much tweeting about it all day and it's all basically this: https://twitter.com/bomani_jones/status/817016050936147968 https://twitter.com/bomani_jones/status/817089116236087298

Most of what y'all are complaining about has been true for a decade if not longer, outside of concussion knowledge. Like the NFL's largest period of growth saw Art Modell Hitler his team to baltimore. The most likely culprit is falling cable subscribers. That would ostensibly only affect MNF/(half of) TNF, but the NFL was poor in articulating which TNF games would be available off of NFLN and people are very lazy. Once they're willing to cancel their cable subscriptions (or in the case of younger people, never sign up for one), bothering to actually put up an antenna alone is probably enough to atrophy those numbers a bit, and once you're not watching TV all the time, other things just become easier to do. You also lose a lot of the highlight shows driving interest in seeing other teams play. Though worth noting that most of the above probably doesn't matter as much, since local viewership rates have been steady apparently, the drop off was primarily prime time games, so again, cable.

Maliciously hoping Barnwell gets let go so he can go rejoin Mays at the Ringer. But really, just cutting the chaff from Monday Night Countdown could probably makeup a sizable chunk of those cuts.

It looks nice, but it's also in conflict with streaming, which to a gigantic chunk of people has problems with speeds and data caps that will limit the market. I suspect that it will become the new standard for televisions eventually, but I'm less optimistic that content will be available much beyond the push 3D got.

shyduck posted:Disney has all of that Star Wars IP now, they can coast for the next decade or three and be just fine. They had the top 5 grossing movies last year, the lowest of which pulled in almost a billion in theatres. They'll likely do it again this year, this is just Disney culling a weaker performing division due to the number of people dumping cable.

Henchman of Santa posted:Who actually watches ESPN during the day if they're employed? That's not supposed to sound dismissive, I just never understood what the audience was. They also upload all of their talking heads shows as podcasts which is how I listen to their stuff. I wonder how they were convinced to do that honestly, since it had to drop their viewership by some amount. I mean it was a drop in the bucket for convincing me to drop cable.

According to awful announcing, Woody quietly left it over a month ago. Honestly, Jay Mariotti is such a non-entity at this point that he pretty much isn't even worthy of the attention of a pile on. It'd be funnier if he just had his like 13 5 star reviews and 4 2 star reviews

DJExile posted:The Red Sox responded to a local arts/entertainment magazine talking about racism in Boston fanbases and media, and the Sox in specific, and said they understood the frustration and even agreed with some of the criticism. I'm sure you will be shocked to hear that WEEI went completely ballistic in response. quote:After he had lambasted the Red Sox for a while over Curran’s statement to DigBoston, Minihane turned his anger toward de la Cretaz, claiming her story had “50 errors, 60 errors,” criticizing her sourcing and snickering at the fact she doesn’t shave her legs and has written publicly about her sexual experiences. Kirk & Callahan guest and WEEI personality Rob Bradford described her as “off the rails.” the comments are good too. Glad to see a St. Louis fan weigh in.

I like how Skip Bayless set a bar pretty high as far as "lovely" goes and Whitlock manages to easily rocket ship past it constantly. Skip was really easy to just ignore, but Jason manages to actually elicit that "oh gently caress you", no matter what.

Double oof. Good on Michael Smith and the two other hosts ESPN employs for saying gently caress off though: quote:ESPN originally tried to keep Hill off the air on Wednesday evening, but Smith refused to do the show without her, the sources said. Both sources also said that producers reached out to two other black ESPN hosts, Michael Eaves and Elle Duncan, to ask them to serve as fill-ins for the show — but Eaves and Duncan did not agree to take the place of Hill and Smith, either.

I mean it's really dumb to associate yourselves with Barstool at all, and I have no idea why ESPN did it to begin with, but I figured since it started, it would've at least gone on until they got embroiled in some kind of controversy.

DJExile posted:in other news, whooboy It's pretty trivial to just watch the best players do their thing these days, which just kinda kills the magic of all star games. Add in that the players are visibly not giving a poo poo and welp. My best idea is, thinking about this from the NFL's perspective, to just get more kids involved. Throw Nickelodeon at it, turn it into a family event so older players will bring their kids, and build a bunch of events off of that. Shlock works a lot better with kids.
