They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!

quote:

the first cause for concern among the cheerleaders came when Redskins officials collected their passports upon arrival at the resort, depriving them of their official identification.

What the actual gently caress? Washington team, just like Dubai.

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:

For me the illegal streams work pretty drat well, sometimes it's worth it to try a few different streams before settling on the one that works for you.

That being said, one of the important things a stream can't give you is the ability to watch games you missed, which NFL Redzone does give you (in addition to condensed versions, audio, and all-22 coaches film).

I'm going to use both so I can watch both live games and replays, so that should pretty much cover everything. Like people already said, those TV rights are still worth a LOT of money that's paid to the NFL; they would have to stop selling totally exclusive live rights to media companies and they're probably not ready to do that yet because it's such a huge part of their business model. I'm sure they are nervous too that if they switch over to all digital their revenue will fall for whatever reason.

It's frustrating, but I'm going to see what price Red Zone comes in at for the start of next season before judging. I think something around 150 or less would be acceptable.

You would lose zero fans in the long run, but for one week, MAGA chuds would burn their team gear and post the videos online.

So it's actually a gain, because the idiots would then go buy new gear.

The Packers do, but not in the NFL sense. They're the cheerleading squads from St Norberts and UW-Green Bay, and they dress like they would for their home schools games, only in green and gold.

Yeah, but what's more important? Respecting the flag or respecting women? The answer might surprise you. It won't

Same with the Bears, and I feel equally grateful.

iospace posted:

As more of this comes out, you will find teams deciding whether it is worth having cheerleaders as slave labor. They will come to the conclusion that the only way it will be viable to keep having cheerleaders is if they are treated with respect. And that's when the NFL will stop having cheerleaders.

According to a quick google search Gregg Easterbrook's column is now in The Weekly Standard which looks to be a fairly Conservative publication, so I assume yes, he loves him some cheerleaders.
