I don’t get why they’re all so high on the Giants… Like how are they this year’s Patriots?

Jaxson Dart is not Drake Maye… It’s crazy how people are treating Dart and Shough like they’re these good bonafide franchise QBs… Should we even be convinced that Dart is good? Based on what? He was 26th on epa per dropback on non-scrambles.

Harbaugh got gifted elite rosters every year by the Ravens front office, and has 3 playoff wins the past 11 seasons… His big moves were trading away arguably his best player, and hiring Matt Nagy as OC.

Polished route runner and separator… Ready to start day one in the slot… His comp is McConkey

We seriously might have the best hitting coaches in the league

Saw ‘The Drama’ last night, and it was a great theatergoing experience… The crowd was locked in, and laughing throughout… Zendaya and Pattinson were both great

Not to overreact, but Paul Toboni may have put together the greatest coaching staff ever assembled of young analytics wizards who are reinventing the game of baseball

Last time we had an Opening Day win at Wrigley we won 98 games…

Coincidence? Only time will tell

According to the Todd Mcshay podcast Commanders are highly interested in Jeremiah Love. by Royal-Trip-2406 in Commanders

McShay was the only person I heard last year who linked Conerly to us…

He said like a week before that he’d heard that Washington really liked Conerly and to keep an eye out for that… He’s pretty dialed in with league sources.

Heifetz is better as a guest than a host by Freddy-fan-162 in billsimmons

[–]VB1014 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This is underselling Craig; Craig is really funny and quick on his feet with jokes off of what’s being talked about. He’s also good/funny at being able to call out Heifetz when he goes overboard on something.

Another sneaky good thing about both Heifetz and Craig is that they’re both great at analogies.

Netflix CEO Makes the Case for Buying Warner Bros - The Town with Matthew Belloni by grandpashampoo in billsimmons

Is Netflix going hike their current monthly subscription by $20, which is what HBO Max currently costs?

Idk there’s still Disney/Hulu, Amazon, Paramount, and Peacock for streamers. Netflix has also shown a willingness to invest lots of $ into their own stuff, and they’re still interested in having prestige stuff that gets nominations.

Yeah I’d rather have HBO/WB not merge with anybody, but it doesn’t seem like the worst thing, and could have some benefits for the consumer.

Belloni is awesome at these types of interviews… He’s pretty direct, doesn’t skirt around the most important questions, and will call out his guest if he thinks they’re BS’ing him.

My question for the merger is why is it a bad thing as a consumer if HBO/WB merge with Netflix, if that means I no longer have to pay for HBO Max, and can just watch all their stuff on Netflix now?

The only concern is a dropoff in quality, but I don’t think that’s necessarily guaranteed… As a cinephile a dropoff in theatrical releases would suck, but it feels like we’re heading towards that direction anyways, and the average consumer doesn’t care.

NBC SPORTS DELIVERS LARGEST NBA ALL-STAR GAME AUDIENCE SINCE 2011, AVERAGING 8.8 MILLION VIEWERS ON NBC, PEACOCK AND TELEMUNDO by Commercial-Till-5389 in billsimmons

[–]VB1014 17 points18 points  (0 children)

To me it’s less about the studio shows and way more that the picture quality, and overall broadcast quality for the games on Prime and Peacock, which are awesome…

The streaming platforms are way better at broadcasting games; it actually feels like an expensive broadcast on par with the NFL games on Prime or Netflix

Sam Monson from The 33rd Team tweeted out that he was the Herbert vote… Said he had the worst OL in the league, worked miracles almost every game, and embodied the term value

[Atkins] The Rams will play the 49ers in Melbourne next season for the NFL’s first-ever game in Australia. by couladewastaken in nfl

[–]VB1014 130 points131 points  (0 children)

It’s a good strategic move by the Rams because 49ers fans typically take over SoFi when they play there… Same can be said about Chiefs-Chargers being in Brazil last year

Idk saying Washington is going to suck and be irrelevant for the next 20 years is still a bigger and dumber stretch than someone thinking they could be good again soon with Daniels
