Which is what I have always told you. It’s the Josh Allen show. McDermott is just along for the ride and occasionally screws things up for Allen (like 13 seconds). Insert any coach - Jauron, Rex, whatever - onto this team and we will still make the playoffs with Josh Allen.

This is correct.

I love when a reply proves the post it quotes. lol. Bitching about bitching.

No. Implied probability is not the same as probability. Probability is a measure of the likelihood that a given event will occur. Implied probability is the probability of an event occurring as implied by the odds given on that event. Because implied probability uses the odds given to calculate, it becomes a recursive (or circular). The Chiefs at +650 does not means the Chiefs have a 13.3% probability of winning the Super Bowl. It means that at +650, oddsmakers feel most comfortable hedging bets at the 13.3% mark.

lol. Yes they do. The “some of us” you mention just B word and complain on repeat about other posters who are bitching and complaining. Guess what? At the end of the day, it’s all bitching and complaining.

Odds and probability are not the same.

You’re right. They would have to sell Hulu.

Don't worry, I won't bother with the extremely simple math he needs done. I always know when a poster is beginning to flail when they don't even quote me anymore. They want to get the last word in, without me seeing it. PS... https://streamable.com/e62m91 .

This is correct. Mostly.

Yes, and Disney could buy Netflix. lol that is not how it works. I don't understand why you keep pontificating on processes that are not in your wheelhouse. B2B acquisitions are not simply made in cash like you purchased your 2007 Chevy Malibu. They are made through debt and equity financing. Either in whole or in part (like how Disney purchased Hulu at a 70% stake). Netflix is in a speculative bubble right now, which is the only reason their market cap is (artificially) inflated at the moment. Literally only 3 months ago their market cap was $130B (below Disney's). In 2021 it was as high as $300B. Again, it's wall street. Not the size of the company. Much of this is a misrepresentation of the facts. Disney is not hurting for cashing or attempting to scrape pennies into the till. Again, they profited nearly $30 BILLION last year. Which is 6x what Netflix profited. Why would Netflix stock holders want to be purchased by a company that profits 6x more than they do? Is that a serious question?

No offense to Thurman, but he can’t hold Barry’s jockstrap.

His vision and ability to cutback were just incredible. The anti-Singletary. Thurman would have scored on this play, instead of getting 2 yards.

Surely you see the problem here… I thought there is “lies, damn lies, and statistics”? Why are you using statistics here?

You didn’t finish the sentence. ”I’m sick and tired of seeing my team in the playoffs after finally acquiring a franchise QB that we waited for for 20 years, only to watch the coaching staff fall short repeatedly”

7 seasons. This is McDermotts 7th season. But most of them won that Super Bowl BEFORE year 7. What your stats actually show is that coaches who won a Super Bowl were given a longer leash and therefore had a longer tenure with the team. History shows the complete opposite.

We all have our talents and downfalls

If they've already filed theirs, I think we know what tax bracket they're probably in

Yes. And also yes. - Disney's revenue was $83 Billion in 2022. Netflix revenue was $32 Billion. Disney's revenue is almost 3x Netflix. - Disney's profit was $28 Billion in 2022. Netflix profit was $4.4 Billion. Disney's profit is more than 6x Netflix. - Disney's balance sheet shows $202 Billion in assets in 2022. Netflix shows $48 Billion in assets in 2022. Disney has nearly 4x more assets than Netflix. Disney is much larger than Netflix, and has billions more in cash-on-hand, and real estate, and assets than Netflix. Market cap is simply the sum of a companies value in it's shares of stock. It is driven by wall-street, not the actual size of the company. It's formed by speculative bubbles. For example, Tesla had a market cap over $1 TRILLION in 2020. And then the market cap dropped to $400B in 2021. Did the company split in half? No. Did their revenue drop to half of what it was? No. It's value on wall-street simply fell. But thank you for laugh (I literally chuckled). Another example: NVIDIA has a market cap of $1 Trillion, yet TSMC has a market cap of $480B. TSMC has 3x the number of employees and 3x the revenue. They are a much bigger company yet half of the market cap. Netflix pales in comparison to Disney's size. Just like your knowledge in this sector pales in comparison to mine. Your ignorance is showing. .

So back to my original point. Because cable companies are hemorrhaging video customers, it no longer makes sense to pay networks (like ESPN) increasing subscriber fees, when there are less and less people paying for the video in the first place. Correct?

No one ever mentioned data or internet. You made that up. Since we are talking about ESPN - a television channel - I thought that was obvious. Cable TV will disappear but their internet service will remain. I think we all know the internet is not going anywhere 😂 Your profits are from Internet service. Which consumers need to stream the media they have replaced cable with.

Cable as we know it now won’t even exist in 10 years. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/cable-tv-dying-industry-only-211216126.html https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/cord-cutting-2022-cable-pay-subscriber-losses-1235340253/amp/ https://www.mediaplaynews.com/charter-loses-241000-q1-spectrum-tv-subscribers-ends-quarter-with-less-than-15-million-subs/ Your profits are from Internet service. Which consumers need to stream the media they have replaced cable with. Cable = / = Internet in my mind. But if it does in yours, that may be the disconnect. Since we are talking about ESPN - a television channel - I thought that was obvious. Cable TV will disappear but their internet service will remain. .

Pretty shocked that ECMC caused this mess.

No. Disney will likely purchase the remainder of Hulu. Not sell it. Unless they purchase Netflix, in which case they will likely be forced to sell Hulu to avoid a monopoly. Disney is already the largest streaming entity in the world, and will only strengthen that hold over the next decade.

I look forward to not watching it.

Over $5.3M in Disney securities alone. If you want to call that small investor then show your Cap Gains sheet - I’ll wait. I’ve shown mine already.
