I am sure whoever gets it will use it as DIRECTV does, to funnel subscriptions into some other service.

I agree. I’m not worried about him. But some definitely are.

I am right there with you. I wanted him gone, and I was impressed on Sunday. I’ll happily eat that crow.

Kicking problem in the NFL

Isn’t that illegal participation by Smith-Schuster? He went out of bounds and came back in to participate.

Absolutely the right thing to do. Don’t fuel the fire, no need to give the media or people on either side of the issue something to complain about.

Anyone else impressed by the announcing tonight? Big improvement over MNF from last year IMO.

This needs to be a blowout victory. If you are a contender you prove it right here. Jets are going to be a doormat this year, so walk over them.

Did someone summon me ? I’ll be watching. I watch every year. Really enjoyed the Raiders last year. Knock on wood if you’re with me. My first thought when I saw Hard Knocks premiere tonight was “I didn’t even know there had been a training camp.” I’ll definitely give it a shot, but with no preseason games and all the COVID precautions and uncertainty I’m not sure I’ll finish it.

Entirely hit or miss in my experience. There is absolutely no uniformity to DIRECTV and their promotions anymore. The ATT buyout was the worst thing that ever happened to their retention department.

Sometimes the devil you know is better than the one you don’t.

I’ve had my spats with Hap, but Hap is one of the most (if not the most) informed posters on this forum. Especially when it comes to COVID issues. Rarely will Hap give an opinion unless it’s very reasonable and backed by facts. Those facts are usually even cited.

Don’t get me started on DISH. Left DIRECTV for Sling TV (owned by Dish). Then Dish enters a contract dispute with NFL so I have no NFL network and potentially no NFL Redzone. I’m now looking at FUBOTV. Has anyone ever mentioned that “unbundling” and “cutting the cord” is actually worse than what DIRECTV was?

Someone mentioned there are new rules for streaming only plans. So I immediately googled it. Was very disappointed to see what you saw, it’s the same rules it has always been. If you can’t get a signal you can sign up for streaming only plan.

They were definitely on my radar as well. I wouldn’t do either of them for late 1sts for sure.

Definitely less excited than normal. Just feels different this year, and it will be. I’ll also watch religiously as usual.

Hmm... I better start building my brand. I don’t think my NFL career is going to work out ?

Social media effects their contract as much as on field play?

I don’t think there’s a player on this team other than Allen that I don’t think long and hard about trading for 2 1sts and a 3rd

One thing I never understood is why these guys have social media at all? Then they engage fans in addition to that? I just don’t see a point.

I wonder if they have language in the new CBA where if that happens your contract slides? And I’m certain you wouldn’t get the 150k advance, not like that matters for big time players though.

Also need a solid control group to create an effective study, which there certainly has not been to this date. There are no long term studies on COVID, despite what some people will attempt to peddle.

This is exactly the type of player Lamar Jackson needs in his locker room. Great character guy and has no quit.

The real question everyone wants to know... can Booger go back into his magic carpet analyst booth ?
