Nah it’s always been hit or miss. It’s hard to consecutively crank out 32 of these and have every one be a banger, but there are always a handful of very funny ones each year. The fan letters have gotten a little tryhard though.

The NFL Network has lost over 20 million subscribers in the past decade. How can they be so bad at this?

Well I think bundling it with Redzone and Sunday Ticket is a pretty good start, but it’s still going to be hamstrung by the streaming issue that’s a product of their TV rights deals. I’m pretty sure that they can’t offer a product that will compete with the TV broadcasts. People probably aren’t going to opt to watch Redzone on a phone or tablet over what’s on CBS or FOX, so this is safe, but allowing it to stream on AppleTV or a Chromecast will run afoul of it.

I would say that they would probably work that out on the next deal but they just signed this one on 2021 so I don’t know what the hell they’re thinking

It's kinda cringe to win the championship, even if OBJ's contribution was cut short he still had an effect on the game, then whine and bitch about how actually he could have done so much more.

Whether or not it's true....you won the big one. There is no accomplishment higher. Shut up?

He should shut up and dribble. Er, catch, I guess

That's not what I'm saying, but it's not like this conversation is gonna go anywhere good so I'll drop it.

That was probably a too-extreme reaction on my part tbh. It just felt really close to the decorum posts that the wraparounds-in-a-truck crowd make anytime an athlete dares to do anything more than say “we played a good game” and shake the ref’s hand on the way out. The game is more fun when players talk poo poo and OBJ has always been a bit of a headcase so it seems like a non-issue imo

Did Michael Lewis gently caress this up or was all that poo poo invented for the movie? I know the book is a lot more about the left tackle position than Oher, but I never read it.

Lewis went to the same private school as, and was friends with, Sean Tuohy. Draw conclusions as you wish from that.

Guess a player is only valuable if they can single-handedly win you a Super Bowl so the list of valuable players in the NFL are:

Mahomes lost that Super Bowl where he hit a dude with a dart while parallel to the ground

Yes! NFL+ will work on connected TV devices like Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Android TV. For a full list of supported devices click here.

You will need to download the NFL App on your connected TV. If you have already signed up for an NFL+ or NFL+ Premium subscription, you will also need to sign in with your NFL account credentials.

Please note: some features of NFL+ are limited to viewing on a phone or tablet.

Those “features limited to viewing on a phone or tablet” are games and redzone.

Here’s the NFL+ FAQ:



So no watching on a computer anyway. A few days ago it said it also said it only supported viewing over cellular connections, but they quietly removed that bit. Archive.org shows it here, though.

I am guessing that all of this is tangled up in the TV rights deals the NFL made so it’s not going to get any better for a while.

Where does it say RedZone is mobile data only? On the site for NFL+ Premium it says it’s “TV, PC, Phone & Tablet.” The only thing that is Phone and Tablet only is “Live Local and Primetime Regular and Postseason Games.”

Their FAQ said as such until a few days ago; there’s an archive.org link in my post on the last page. I don’t think there’s a way to know for sure now until games start getting played.

Kickers are funny because they're almost all interchangeable, but in the bad way where they're mostly random year to year. And then some get the yips and never unfuck it and nobody knows how to coach them.

So that's how you end up getting a draft pick for a 38 year old dude with a dead leg who's at least a bit reliable.

Yeah it’s great. The difference between someone being a franchise’s leading scorer or a guy whose name causes fans to see red mist is razor thin

I think the jury is probably still out on Saleh, but watching him on Hard Knocks it looks like he’s got the balance between being a hardass and being a player’s coach down. He also seems like he’s having the time of his life on the sidelines which is fun, I hate the scowly “football is serious business” schtick.

Meanwhile Gannon seems like a Peter Principle poster child that no one is going to like and yet will stick around in the league for another few decades, somehow.
