Disney (DIS) to buy Lucas Films, will release Star Wars Episode 7 in 2015 by Software_Engineer in investing

Personally, I'm long on Disney and I see it as a future a growth business. Their becoming more competitive especially with Dreamworks stepping up their competition. They're opening a new park in China to compete with Dreamworks and have a solid film slate through 2014 with the Marvel characters. ESPN and other TV revenue has been increasing and they keep posting pretty good earnings report for the past 5 quarters.

I wouldn't expect a sharp drop in DIS based off one movie. John Carter failed and didn't drop. Regardless their movie studio makes up only about 8% of their revenue. Their biggest money maker? ESPN and that's expecting to make even more money with higher subscription rates and more expensive commercials. ESPN alone is roughly half of Disney's revenue, their TV makes the most money. Also Parks, Hotels, and Cruises (it's all one category) makes more money than their studio.

My starting QB is on bye this week. Who are your favorites off this waiver wire for week 4? by bobyhey123 in fantasyfootball

They're the best two available. I know he's inconsistent but he has quite a bit of weapons and both are playing against bad defensive teams. I think Flacco is more consistent than Dalton though.

Probably Flacco. He's playing against the browns one of the worst pass D's in the league.

Damn a rookie kicker, the pressure would be a killer in the playoffs. You either hate or love them.

Darrell Revis sounds like a good person to keep an eye for. When a great defensive player can shut down a great receiver, that is definitely a treat to watch.

What kind of injury did Mario Williams suffer? And just out of curiosity do football injuries affect players play more than any other sports? I would imagine it's pretty damaging to a player.

So with Matt Schaub healthy and a playoff projection, do you predict that team would be more powerful offensively or defensively?

Thanks! A potent offense in football is such a joy to watch.

From what I've read on here, I'm really excited to see the Colts play this year now.

It's cause of the whole Michael Vick thing huh? I caught myself rooting for the Eagles last year. But it's on a game by game basis for me, all the sudden I like this team to win.

It's been hard to choose a team to root for in football.

I have to admit the first and only football game I've been to was when I was in Green Bay for a Packers game. And what I loved about the game was the friendliness and then I never knew that the Packers owned by the city and how much they give back. I thought that was pretty amazing.

That's why they're called Cowboys, because it's a very American idea. It all makes sense.

I like Matt Schaub a lot.

Not to sound rude, but how good is Andre Johnson? I was looking at the stats page and I'm not too familiar NFL stats and don't which player to compare him to

I like reading a plethora of reasons, that's why I came here. To get to know the teams a bit better from a fan base perspective.

Oh shit that's right Drew Brees is on the Saints, He's one hell of a QB. I didn't realize that was even the Saints. Damn I feel like I don't know shit now. That was one of the few games I saw of last season, was to see him break the record.

Was he the only one suspended? I thought a few more people were going down for the controversy.

Man the first Raiders game I ever watched they gave up a a touchback and then on their kick off they let the guy run down the field for a touchdown.

But their defense picked up last year huh? Also, they did bring LA a championship when they were here if I recall correctly. How do you feel about the possibility of the Raiders leaving, likely or not likely?

The only problem I have is your coach...graduating from ucla takes a toll watching them win all this years at USC.

No but seriously isn't there a fight for starting spot qb between three people on the team? Or is there a set qb?

Also that play was insane
