NFL 2023

What NBC network’s carrying instead of KC-MIA: America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League…..for two glorious hours! You Peacock guys have Tua and Mahoney but we have Simon Cosell and Howie Mandel!

 

I hope this goes down as the biggest mistake in broadcast history ever.

 

I don’t think anything will ever top Heidigate….NBC again.

 

You realize that the younger people here won't know what you're talking about. When was that, 1968? Otherwise who would have ever heard of Preston Ridlehuber?

 

Well, the kids will have to do a little googlywoogly , then….

 

Raiders fan.

This is one initiative that can get 100% bi-partisan support! So if you don't have Peacock, you have to travel to KC or Miami to view the game for free, WTF?!

This doesn't affect me because I'm a Comcast customer so I get Peacock included, but I hated Amazon's games because you couldn't record or pause or replay anything. I'm going to see tonight if the same is true for Peacock.

 

Good for Ryan.

 

From Congressman Ryan -

"How much more profit do Roger Goodell and NBC need to make at the expense of hardworking Americans before they are satisfied?" Ryan said. "I'm demanding the NFL and NBC stop the BS and offer fans the service they already pay for, or we're coming for your antitrust exemption."

I heard a professional sports bettor say that he thought the NFL eventually wants to put all games on streaming betting services, e.g. Draft Kings, etc. That way you could literally bet on every single play, e.g. will the next play be a pass or run, will it gain 5 yards or more, will there be a sack, will there be a holding or PI call, and on and on and on and ......

 

It already has and the game hasn’t even been played yet.

 

So the Buff-Pitt game postponed but not the KC-Mia game? And the weather is supposed to get worse in Buffalo so how the hell does this solve anything?

 

Wow, I remember that. You must be really old.

 

I think the issue in Buffalo is a snowstorm. In KC it's just cold.

 

Yea I believe I heard Buffalo is expecting 50+ mph winds, plus the snow. But still would have loved to see that game.

For those without, I found a stream link in the F1 forum and found a stream for Texans game. Great game so far. Will use it for the KC game too.

 

Wow!

 

Yea, Flacco started out so sharp.

 

Now we now why Flacco was sitting on his couch unsigned….and Saleh looks like a genius now when the media asked why he didn’t sign him

 

Understood. But it’s going to be worse tomorrow and Monday so will they postpone again? Would have been better to get the game over with with the lesser of the two bad weather days

 

Can you share the link?

 

This is a new experience for me. I'm used to the Houston team imploding.

Just click the "American Football" link and you'll be able to figure it out from there.

 

The QB Stroud is special and being the most important position by far in the sport, turned the fortunes around of the Texans.

IIRC Whisky wasn’t big on him the last few months here, but Stroud entered elite company along with Brady and Montana with his season stats.

 

Four things happened.

1. Houston got rid of that holy roller from NE. Players could not stand him.

2. Hired Demeco Ryans as a coach.

3. Drafted Stroud.

4. Drafted the edge rusher from Alabama (I forget his name.)

 

Not working out for me.

 

Not for me either…
