Is this even a real thing? The NFL draft broke records. Profits are still up, we know because the salary cap is still going up year after year.

It seems like mostly predicated on cable TV viewership, which is falling across the board for all shows, not just the NFL, because people are moving more and more towards streaming services.

I’m sure the NFL bigwigs are aware of the overall decline in television ratings, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t paranoid of any further decline in whatever market share they have. They’re risk-averse, and if there’s any chance of losing what they currently have, they’ll avoid it like the plague. And that’s what Kaepernick’s not signed.

I've actually had a lot of fun watching the NBA playoffs but this may coincide with Westbrook being shook, also gently caress the Thunder

The funniest thing about that Mina Kimes tweet is the Barnwell reply with a screenshot from an article with Jim Kelly saying he was on the verge of tears at being drafted by Buffalo

I'm pretty sure the nfl draft ratings were up because they were on Fox, so people like me didn't bother finding a stream and just turned their tv on.

Was my first thought as well...lol...what a weird response.

Also :hellyeah: to illegal streams but I see where whypick is coming from. It would be nice to have a legal (probably also more consistent) option to stream but like I said...reddit has never failed me for NFL streams and I don't go to reddit to read the content so I'm good.

I tried using r/nflstreams for a while but don't think I ever made it through a whole game without it freezing up or otherwise glitching severely. Usually it happened within 15 minutes.

The (European) Game Pass had a lot of hiccups after switching their tech last year, to the point of them issuing a partial refund without asking, but I'm with forums poster Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! when it comes to the benefits of a set-top box and big screen. Except that they broke the Apple TV 2nd gen app during the update and never bothered fixing it :mad:

Full disclosure: I think reddit is trash and take most opportunities I have to slam it. Yes, I'm aware GBS and FYAD are just as trashy. Hypocracy mine.

That said, F1's new streaming service is 100/year for full access and 25/year for limited access. Limited is mostly marketed to those who watch on TV and don't feel the need for online viewing. NHL, NBA, and MLB are all around 125 or so for a full year, and the price drops as the season goes on, with individual team options with blackout policies.

Now they can use the fewer special teams specialists to have better position players on all rosters and the NFL can force teams to only play any one player for a maximum of 3 quarters to increase safety

I think eventually we'll get to an NFL streaming option, but the TV contracts are such an absurd cash cow currently that they have to be so terrified of affecting that money.

Going by how embarrassingly long it took for the NFL to have any kind of decent social media profile, good other sports streaming packages started about 5 years ago right? So by that, we'll probably finally have a half decent NFL streaming package around 2025.

MLB.tv is 25/month or 116/year (though the yearly may have dropped because there's a month of play completed already).

I can see 25/month, or 125/season (5 months + SB and PB), or 180/year which would include other major events (combine, draft, HoF inductions) and NFL network access. 300/year is way too high.

E: they could sell Super Bowl stream for 25 bucks, and throw in the Pro Bowl for free, or if you get the yearly you get that for free anyway.

I tried to watch the draft on the NFL's official stream but it kept freezing and stuttering, so I switched to an illegal stream.

MLB's was *checks* 2003. NHL piggy backed on the MLB's service, NBA has their own streaming not done by BAMTech.

I think it's more to save the wedgebreakers from being insane people who's job is to find that wedge and kill it while running at top speed. At least that was the idea back when they made it a rule you can only have a two man wedge.

So, preseason game 3 all season long? Would add another element of strategy to coaching though.

Hmm, do I hold Brady this quarter so I have him for Q4, or do I try and build a big lead and coast...
