...and here I thought that his handle was just a nod to the midline veer. 🤔
Peacock network...
- Thread starter 86THS
- Start date
It's a nid to the old Syracuse play that we changed and ran midline before it was called midline. Nipples freezing off is just another option. Not one I would enjoy.
Refresh my memory... who was the Syracuse coach that first ran the freeze option ? Was it Pasqualoni ?
MLB news today: Appears that Amazon Prime has exclusive tv rights for the '24 season for the Tigers, Brewers, Rays, Marlins...and Royals. PPV just keeps on coming. Good news on this situation is, it appears my parents viewing of the Cardinals won't be interrupted. This will insure my weekly update on the dismal state of Redbird pitching for another season. 
This is only going to get worse. Live sports, especially NFL is a money printing machine and the people who are profiting the most are going to continue to carve up the live sports pie into as many subscriptions and packages as possible.
At some point I think we will regularly see high profile individual games for sale, so EVERYONE who wants to watch it has to buy a ticket. Whether that's a $300 ticket to go to the stadium or a $30 ticket to stream it.
Why only charge the advertisers and providers when the end users are willing to pay as well? There will be experimenting over the next few years to determine the formula and price point that finds the best balance of user fees and enough viewership to attract sufficient ad revenue.

Apple, Amazon, Hulu, etc are going to enjoy picking the meat off the bones of Bally and other RSNs for pennies on the dollar.MLB news today: Appears that Amazon Prime has exclusive tv rights for the '24 season for the Tigers, Brewers, Rays, Marlins...and Royals.

Well this is interesting.
According to Jimmy Traina with Sports Illustrated, the league likely lost 10 million to 12 million fans for the Dolphins-Chiefs contest by showing the game on Peacock outside Kansas City and Miami.

yet, set streaming records and had better numbers than last year... His numbers might be a stretch. Like I had posted before, I doubt I would have bought it, had I not already had peacock. But there is also part of me that wonders why we feel we are "entitled" to see playoff games for free. Don't get me wrong, I dont want to have to start paying. But, really, why are we "owed" getting to see the games for free?
I will answer that question. We feel entitled to getting them for free because for most of our lives they have been free. Free as in the major networks pay to broadcast the game and make a profit by selling ads. Now they are realizing they can not only do that but also paywall the content and make money from both sides of this thing.
For people who like live sports, it's getting really messy and expensive with all the various subscriptions, steaming, network packages if you want to watch a particular set of teams.
The only reason ESPN monday nights didn't cause an uproar was because so many people already had ESPN, unlike Peacock. People are already feeling subscription fatigue so this just hit at a bad time.
At least the peacock production value is better than the garbage MSHSAA calls a broadcast.
FOR FREE? I don't call sitting through all of those f59%)_g commercials free.
“Entitled” is one of the most overused terms of the 2020s. It’s pretty simple. I have watched nearly every NFL playoff game for the past 50+ years. I have been paying for it with a subscription to Dish network or other services and via my consuming the commercial advertisements which have made the NFL billions. It has never been free. I have been “entitled” to pay my fair share for decades. Some entitlement.
