  1. pipe down over there, yevgeny
  2. out on my bike, I'll see dozens of them, and they are 100% more consistent than a soccer mom in a huge SUV just texting away. Which got me to thinking about how much shit the really obnoxious bikers will try and get away with once all cars on the road are autopilot. The cars have a 360 field of vision and software that errs on the side of caution rather than "fuck em, I have the right of way". Once they figure out the cars will never hit 'em....goddamn they might never stop at a stop sign again.
  3. NBC sports network channel isnt exclusive to YTTV, its just the first carrier to launch. Xfinity will be next, and they have already stated they will try to sign up multiple carriers, probably every one they can. Its tough to sell advertising when you cap your audience at ~10M households. And the big ten conference splits their games between Fox, CBS, and NBC Fox: Will air games in the "Big Noon" window and alternate years for the championship game. Fox also has majority ownership of the Big Ten Network. CBS: Will air games in the afternoon slot, including a Black Friday game, and alternate years for the championship game. NBC: Will air games in the primetime "Big Ten Saturday Night" slot and alternate years for the championship game. Peacock: Will exclusively stream some games each season and simulcast some games that also appear on the NBC broadcast network. Big Ten Network (BTN): Continues to air a comprehensive slate of games in addition to the broadcast and streaming options. The "big ten sat night" is already on the main NBC network, so all you are likely gaining on the new sports network are the games on Peacock, which will now likely be simulcast on their new network. I cant imagine this would pressure Disney at all. As they now offer a subscription bundle ($40) with Fox that gives you access to all ESPN networks, the SEC networks, Fox sports, FS1, FS2, and Big Ten network. Thats at least 20X more sports than this new NBC channel will have, when you consider its all of the ESPN+ games as well.
  4. Ha. I actually googled the phrase "Double Barrel Cheryl" to see if I could catch that clip, and I guess it's origin was some dude on the Theo Von show. But the funnier aspect is the first google result was some poor broad with that unfortunate insta handle. I imagine she might see an increase in traffic and interesting commentary on her posts https://www.instagram.com/doublebarrelcheryl/
  5. Most of those color rush unis are garbage, but this pats version is better than most. I kinda dig that shade of blue.
  6. They can start a sports channel and get in the broadcasting business if they are morons, but without the multi-year media rights to college football, college hoops, the NFL, the NBA, MLB, etc...what the fuck are they going to show that people will pay for? The Big10 media rights come up for renewal in 2030, the SEC in 2034, the NBA in 2037, the NFL in 2033, etc.. I guess they can send this guy out with a camera and hope nobody notices him on the sideline It amuses me that people think YTTV has much leverage here. They are one of many distribution channels for the ESPN suite. Without details on what pricing is currently being rejected by YTTV and the pricing paid by the other streaming/cable channels its a bit hard to say who is being the bigger asshole here. But at the end of the day, Disney owns the content, and that is leverage that matters. If YTTV wants special pricing that would cause Disney to have to renegotiate their other deals, I would tell google to eat a dick as well. People will follow the content and that lost money this qtr will slowly come back as people migrate to different solutions.
  7. Dude is gonna die an early death being in the senate. he aint holding up well at all.
  8. may she pass to aggy valhalla

    Brian Kelly to L$U

    It's like those dumb fucking corndogs don't understand there is video of governor dingleberry gleefully discussing the firing of Brian Kelly. Do they think once the broadcast was over, it just disappeared into the ether? I'm pretty sure Kelly could hire me for a lawyer and we'd win in court while we shotgunned beers every 30 minutes and lit our farts every hour on the hour.
  10. Tobin Anderson was only at FDU for that one season, before bolting to Iona after upsetting Purdue. Replacing Pitino was probably not the correct decision, as Iona shitcanned him after two seasons and a 33-34(22-18 conf) record.
  11. The one positive aspect of our dogshit non-conference scheduling approach is that it absolutely destroys the resell market. These prices include the fees on seatgeek, and the seat map is for tonights game. Comical how cheap it is to get into Moody for these games. Obviously its the STH/brokers that feel the pain, as the university could give a fuck once the tickets are sold originally.
  12. because there are some gaping fucking pussies that want to talk politics, but are afraid of the CR. So now it spills out lots of places.
  13. I could see Kyrie going on a hunger strike or some stupid shit.
  14. Yeah, I only caught the second half but Toppin was ballin. Looks like another solid squad. I actually watched the game on regular old youtube. I think its hilarious that this spat is ongoing between Disney and YTTV and pretty much most college games are easy to find. Not the case with NFL and NBA, but the college games always seem to get posted.
