I'm also curious to know how it makes the product "$hittier". Ya know what? Nevermind. I think I already know exactly what you're all about. Some things just don't fit. Kinda like you wouldn't use the "Happy Days" theme song as mood music in a Halloween movie. Yeah, you could do it but it just wouldn't work. Think about it. It's all just entertainment. Appropriate atmosphere enhances the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ol Dirty B Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I don't understand the point in complaining about this. You have another option where you can get your 1950's view of society protected. It's not even the only option, nothing is being forced upon you. It's also just football, I don't get the outrage here. Good for them, I'll check it out and if I don't like it.

billsfan714 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) I think it obvious you must have junk to tell me its 3rd and 3, we are going 4 wideouts, the score, whether that replay should be reviewed or we are in dime or nickel, team A is shutting down/getting shredded by team Bs defense/offense., this player is getting face planted like Conte,, injuries, etc. After all I played JV for a team in the suburbs back in the day.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) While the Rams and Vikings traded points during the 38-31 Los Angeles victory, I was flipping streams Thursday night. Back in the day, Thursday Night Football was the hardest-to-find NFL telecast, isolated on NFL Network. But with FOX beginning its five-year ownership of the series, fans could watch on that channel, on NFL Network, on the NFL and Yahoo Sports apps, on Amazon’s Prime Video service or on Twitch—and each of those last two options came with different versions, too. Here’s how I thought it all played out. HANNAH STORM AND ANDREA KREMER’S HISTORIC, FLAWED DEBUT “We've covered the league for a long time, but never quite like this,” Hannah Storm said at the top of Thursday’s broadcast, the first NFL game called by an all-female duo. “And Andrea, there is no turning back now.” The most visible complaints online about Storm and Kremer’s debut revolved around struggles to find their offering. Amazon added a link to a how-to guide on its TNF page, but its decision to include Storm-Kremer only as an audio option with the other languages still drew criticism. Without building a custom switcher, I’m not sure what else the company can do, but I would expect even clearer promos and signage around the player next week.
