I don't understand, Jokeman.

 

The world wide leader in slash and burn.  The Titanic of sinking sports ships.  The very guys who can't keep pee (and other stains) off the front of their pants, and coffee stains off their ties...are buying the NFL Network, and somebody in charge at NFL Media is OK with this?!

It's all about the Benjamins.

Does this have salary cap implications? Who gets the money?

It worked out so well for the NFL and EA Tiburon / Madden, as well.

 

This is an absolute Deucenburg Suck-A-Thon.

Just something else for ESPN bigwigs to ruin.  🤮🤮🤮

It's weird to me that the NFL would even sell their media wing to an outside entity.

Like...what?

For a league that wants to be able to have control over presenting itself a certain way, isn't a "state-run" media outlet essential? 

Confusing.

Does this mean Red Zone will be on ESPN this season?  Will save me having to buy the sports package on YouTube tv.

There goes the NFL Network. ESPN is a proven disaster. The biggest pile of garbage 🗑️ in sports.

Anyone else find RedZone extremely overrated? Had it for the first time last year and was looking forward to watching as I heard a lot of good things. Terrible way to watch football IMO. Would rather just have a couple games on in multiview and catch other game highlights on Twitter. 

 

As far as the acquisition, Disney acquiring anything can only be a bad thing. 

[NY to VA to NV to TX to AZ]

Now that Disney/ESPN has run itself into the ground, both streaming wise and amusement park wise, now they want to see if there is another good name for them drive into the ground and ruin. Are they trying to create a record for destroying the most profitable and good businesses the quickest. Ugh…this is just sickening to me, now I will have no where to watch highlights and press conferences other than maybe YouTube.

I love the RedZone channel. I've stopped the Multiview and switching between games. If the Bills are not playing, RedZone is on the TV all day.

I don't think so. As I understand it, ESPN plans to roll out a premium app for $29.99 per month, which is where Red Zone would likely land.

I actually enjoy RedZone for non-Bills games. RedZone keeps games moving to the parts that matter. Multiview is alright, but don't get to hear what's going on in all the games and I tend to end up only focusing on the one I can hear.

This is why we can't have nice things 

[The Wiz]

So is that the reason why ESPN cut all their employees and talking heads other than Stephen A.?
