ESPN and The Mouse vs. YouTube TV
That ship sailed decades ago, and you could argue their monopoly (which is bad, I agree) is now weakening with the advent of streaming companies (Apple, Amazon, Netflix, etc...) with more financial muscle than the old broadcast networks getting into the live sports content game. But this current dustup has less to do with their monopoly and more to do with two companies flexing nuts while fucking over the customers in the process. Disney will win in this case because the loyalty will follow the content, not the pipe. Hence it being YTTV's problem. Im not sure we're even arguing the same thing, but whatever, I'm off to the card room.

ESPN and The Mouse vs. YouTube TV
Oh I get Disney's role in the enshittification of streaming, I just stated that its a YTTV problem, because they are the distributor that chose to no longer carry the product that I, and presumably plenty of others, wish to consume(live sports). There are still plenty of other cable/streaming options that offer ESPN should I choose to go that route, or I can pay Disney directly, or I can pirate shit. But it makes zero sense is continue to pay YTTV $80 a month when they can't deliver what I am paying them for, when they send me an email telling me to subscribe directly to ESPN (but still pay them $80). I guess if refusing to pay Company A for shit I don't want, when I could instead buy from companies B,C,D,E, etc... and get what I want makes me an old, I'll pop a centrum silver. Imagine crying about google getting bullied.

so explain it to me.

ESPN and The Mouse vs. YouTube TV
why is that? Because I dont want to pay $90 a month for a service that has no value to me? How does age factor into that?

ESPN and The Mouse vs. YouTube TV
well then that sounds like a YTTV problem.

ESPN and The Mouse vs. YouTube TV
So why is it a Disney problem?

ESPN and The Mouse vs. YouTube TV
Lulz. Disney owns the content. YTTV is blockbuster. If they cant provide me with the content I want, it sure as hell isnt my fucking problem. Youtube sent me an email on Oct 30.... that blue hyperlink is sending me to a portal to sign up for the disney bundle. They aren't trying to fix the problem that hard if they are happy to have me sign up with disney. I'm sick of their fucking bullshit and relentless price increases. Its estimated Disney charges cable and streaming companies $10 per month per customer. YTTV charges me $90 per month for a bunch of garbage channels/stations i don't give a fuck about. You can say its not a alphabet problem, but we'll see when they lose a fuck-ton of subscribers. We all know they will cave, but I'm not paying them a nickel until they do cave. It now has zero value to me. And done....took three hours, but they processed the refund. They made $100B in net income last year, I'm sure they will be fine.

ESPN and The Mouse vs. YouTube TV
Trying to cancel AND get a refund, so I'm online waiting in queue for a chat agent. Started out 290-ish in line, down to 183 in like an hour.....fuck-em I'll wait, I have that tab open next to a couple of free streams of games I should be watching on YTTV. I'll miss the multi-view, but I've overcome greater first world problems in my life. I'll persevere.

Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
I get it, but we are also a cunt hair away from bad losses to Kentucky and Miss St. There's something fundamentally wrong with the mental make-up of this squad. I am encouraged with Arch's play of late, so I wont consider any of the remaining game a certain loss. My guess is we lose to UGA and beat piggy and aggy. If that plays out, we'll have to see if its enough.

Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
Lulz. that bitch made pussy would make the poster child aggy. He's so far in the closet, he doesnt even know. Hell, he spent half of last season screaming aggy and elko were going to beat us. And then we went into CS and shoved it right up their ass. I bet he cried for a week.

NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
Josh Giddy is quietly putting up some numbers this season for the bulls. went for 32/10/9 tonight to bring up his season averages up to 22/8.8/8. Its early still, but thats a big jump. Bulls at 5-0 after beating the knicks tonight.

ESPN and The Mouse vs. YouTube TV
I just paid my monthly on 10/25, and when I just went to cancel, I saw no way to request a refund. Do you have Sundar's cell#, how the hell did you get a refund?

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Chuckle indeed. Traylor's ceiling is probably where he's currently at. Dude was coaching HS football like 10 years ago, but OK, lets sign him up for the texas HC gig. What could go wrong? Why wouldn't CDC make that move?

It's nice that you let him out of the basement every now and again.

ESPN and The Mouse vs. YouTube TV
I have no idea. I usually watch the games live, and this season once through that shitshow is usually all I can take. I found the feedback page and did the same. Live Sports is the one thing that keeps cable/streaming TV businesses afloat. Fuck their $20 credit offer. YTTV has $0.00 value to me if I cant watch muh football. I suspect a large number of their customer base feels the same. I would be surprised if this isnt resolved by tomorrow. They may not like the fact that the mouse has them by the short and curlies on this one, but it doesnt change the reality. They will nuke that entire business if they don't bend the knee. I would hate to be the YTTV product manager these days. You know the decision is being made way above him, but he's fucked if they don't cave, lulz.

The fact that more than a few people wanted Traylor to be the Texas head coach is embarrassing. Take away his inherited 7th year, 25 year old QB and his record is pretty average at best.

Hoops & Goons: FBI, NBA, College Hoops, and the Mob - Now with More Indictments
I don't know what's more surprising....the fact that he signed a 4 yr, $100M contract in 2021 and still felt compelled to engage in this shit, or merely the fact that Terry Rozier signed a 4 year, $100M contract. Fucking crazy money these cats are making, and still cant avoid getting in these fucked up situations. Stupid as fuck.
