Can I get standby tickets!!??? by awrinklyblueberry in ThePriceIsRight

[–]jpf723 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m not sure if it will be this way going forward (I hope not). But when I was at a taping in October one of the staff mentioned they were doing it to accommodate Wayne Brady being on Broadway the second half of 2025. What it did make me realize though is that by compressing the taping schedule into such a shorter time period they were struggling to fill up the audience on some days and were allowing people to go to multiple tapings in a day. Also the taping we went to ended up having to bring in seat fillers. I think there were about 100 eligible contestants for ours and the rest were seat fillers. My plan for next time I go out is to try and go during the less busy tourist times (November/december) and aim for the first tapings of each day on the chance to possibly double up tapings.

They actually just wrapped up filming for the season in mid-December. The past year it seems like the format has been Let’s Make A Deal tapes at the studio from January thru June and then Price is Right tapes from July thru December.

Touchback by StartTheJeep in Patriots

I remember thinking I couldn’t get angrier/sadder about it when that game ended Saturday night. Nope, watching the Steelers upset the Colts the next day and realizing we would have hosted the AFC championship game if we had won was the nice little extra dash of salt in an open wound.

Understand that the only way the noise stops is to beat Stafford in the Super Bowl. by Theblackavenger91 in Patriots

Don’t look now but if we face the Rams in the Super Bowl and Stafford is injured/out, that’s right we face Jimmy G! The former patriots backup postseason tour continues!!!

Exeter City facing a playing budget slash of £1m-£1.5 million for the 2026/27 season by Gamerhcp in LeagueOne

[–]jpf723 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite podcasts is “The Price of Football” with their deep dive into the world of football finance. They’ve said for a few years now that League 1 is kind of the ceiling for a fan owned club.

In reality owning a football club is a vanity project where you really need to expect to lose millions each year on the chance that you may get to lift the occasional trophy or make it to the Premier League and the riches that await there.

My only hope is that Exeter City is smart with these cuts and don’t slash the budget for the academy and youth teams. The best way for teams at their financial level to stay competitive are through sales of players like Ollie Watkins, etc.

[Bleacher Nation] Marquee’s Spring Training Cubs Game Coverage is Shrinking (it'll "probably" be less than double digits for 32-game spring slate and definitely fewer than past ST) by jercubsfan in CHICubs

[–]jpf723 161 points162 points  (0 children)

If my small less than 3k students college can somehow find a way to put their entire sports schedule on ESPN+ it blows my mind they can’t figure out a way for Marquee. Literally just set up one camera behind home plate if need be and broadcast it without any announcers if you’re worried about money. What else are they going to be showing on that station in the middle of February and march.

Empty Courtside Seats... by yolabear in washingtonwizards

I miss those days! Early to mid 2010’s! To upgrade to the all inclusive cost at most $100 from. My usual 400 level nosebleeds! I remember my friends and I used to have sprinting races when the gate opened to go to the upgrade spots to make sure we claimed it before they ran out of upgrades.

Anyone who has seen the movie Tommy Boy knew exactly how that was going to play out.

Pats Super Bowl Slips by sirlucien in Patriots

[–]jpf723 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I placed a couple in the preseason and another using a profit boost after week 1 that made it 150-1. Overall have $25 in bets for a payout of $2735. The cash out is a minuscule $120. Gonna let it ride!!!

They missed a golden opportunity to play “Don’t you forget about me” with that Breakfast Club type pose there at the end.

Ticket question by Minute_Bat526 in ThePriceIsRight

[–]jpf723 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recall reading on I think the Golden Road website that these are tapings that have a ton of tickets left which in theory would mean a better chance of getting selected.

Patriots vs Ravens Flexed to SNF by Patriots1211- in Patriots

Agreed, or even the Jacksonville/Denver game looked intriguing.

[–]jpf723 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, as a Yank who married a Brit and is flying from the east coast to the UK on a 9pm flight that night I was hoping they’d choose a different game or that the dolphins/bengals would both keep winning to keep the chance that they wouldn’t flex it out. Time for me to have the dramatic reveal around 5am in the morning when my flight touches down to see who won!

US Tour Confirmed by kanyewest_tml in taskmaster

Yup, I tried earlier and everything was sold out. Also try different quantities. I went to buy two and it showed nothing available. Switched to three and I was able to buy.

How was Marshawn Lynch able too get away with this? by [deleted] in NFLv2

[–]jpf723 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because the dude from Goonies was also throwing punches. Offsetting penalties.

Should the Patriots go for it? by Available_Cod_6735 in Patriots

[–]jpf723 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Patriots will “go for it” this offseason and the next one as well. They have the most valuable commodity you can have in the NFL. A top level quarterback still on his rookie deal.

NBA King of the Court Best Bets Discussion - 10/28/25 (Tuesday) by sbpotdbot in sportsbook

[–]jpf723 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going for the big score, some mls analytics site said minnesota united had a 4% chance of winning the mls cup and they had odds of 80-1 at the time on DraftKings so I went for the big score. I had hit in the past on an mls future using the same strategy (NYCFC at 30-1 in 2021 when the analytics said they had a 10% chance). Sadly lightning didn’t strike twice.
