Why not just make everything subject to expedited review and apply a “clear and obvious” standard? Reviewing some things and not others just creates subjective assessments on what’s important to determining a game and what’s not when that’s not really how the game works. Eventually we’ll end up with the Belichick proposal where everything is also subject to a coach’s challenge too.
Because they don’t want people wondering why this or that play, including and especially things like offensive holding or illegal formation calls/non-calls, wasn’t subject to a review. They throw around terms like ‘judgment call’ to snow people. Every call is a judgment call; some are just harder to judge than others, and arguably the hardest plays to judge - the ones they generally try not to subject to review - are the ones they should be reviewing.Why not just make everything subject to expedited review and apply a “clear and obvious” standard?

I doubt it’s free with Prime but that’d be amazing. Having NFL Sunday Ticket on a dish company makes no sense at this point. Get it streaming and everyone now has the optionhttps://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/12/16/report-apple-bows-out-of-sunday-ticket-talks-leaving-amazon-and-google-as-the-finalists/
Apple drops out of Sunday Ticket negotiations, leaving Amazon and Google as the remaining bidders. Amazon feels like it would be the front runner given that they already have the TNF package. If this gets rolled into the existing Prime subscription, big win for existing customers.
Yeah, there’s no way they include RZ with a prime membership. It will be an up charge, just like seemingly 3/4 of their movies. But agree they are probably the best equipped and most logical choice between the two.I doubt it’s free with Prime but that’d be amazing.

Red Zone is available with any cable system. Northeast steered this in the wrong direction.Yeah, there’s no way they include RZ with a prime membership.

Yes, brain fart by me. Meant Sunday ticket. And agree, it would be a significant add on charge.Red Zone is available with any cable system. Northeast steered this in the wrong direction.
They are talking about the NFL Sunday Ticket. And I would bet that if Amazon got the rights, it would absolutely be an add on.
Right now, Direct TV charges 400 bucks for the Sunday Ticket online. It's pricey and the service kind of sucks. No matter who gets it, it will be better, no doubt.Yes, brain fart by me. Meant Sunday ticket. And agree, it would be a significant add on charge.
Same brain fart here, I was talking about the Ticket, not RZ. Corrected.Yes, brain fart by me. Meant Sunday ticket. And agree, it would be a significant add on charge.
whoa, I didn’t know it was up to 4 bills. That’s a lot of bread. I would pay if I lived out of market but that’s a lot.Right now, Direct TV charges 400 bucks for the Sunday Ticket online. It's pricey and the service kind of sucks. No matter who gets it, it will be better, no doubt.
If Amazon got the rights, my bet is that it would be less than 400 but not far from it. They can't pay for this package and just offer the service to prime members when an add on fee would generate a ton of revenue.
Of course, they got Thursday night football and that's a prime offering.
And the service is lousy, it is literally 90 seconds behind live TV and about 15-20 seconds behind something like YouTubeTV.whoa, I didn’t know it was up to 4 bills. That’s a lot of bread. I would pay if I lived out of market but that’s a lot.
Absolutely. They charge add on fees for innocuous shit, that’s hard to imagine any big demand for.

I agree the delay sucks but otherwise I like the interface. It’s responsive and quick, unlike Amazon.And the service is lousy, it is literally 90 seconds behind live TV and about 15-20 seconds behind something like YouTubeTV.
You can't watch a Sunday Ticket online game and watch Red Zone. 90 seconds is an eternity in a football game.
Yeah but Amazon probably made the NFL pay them to take that pile of shit.Of course, they got Thursday night football and that's a prime offering.

Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson was arrested and booked at the Bristol County Jail and House of Corrections in Massachusetts Monday.
Boston 25 News reports, via a spokesperson for the Bristol County Sheriff’s Office, that Jackson was booked on Monday afternoon for a “family issue” after an appearance in probate court. The nature of the issue is unknown, but the spokesperson said that it is non-violent.
Jags have Jets, Texans and Tenn left.Tannehill likely out for the season. Titans chances of holding off Jaguars take a big hit

Me neither. They should just scrap the whole thing and publicize the all-pro and individual positional honors more.Pro bowl rosters have been announced and Judon is the only Pats’ player to make it.
My question is… why announce it now? There’s still three weeks left or the season. All kinds of things can happen. Obviously Mahomes is making it no matter what. But some votes were really close and three weeks’ worth of play could change a lot. What’s the harm in waiting til the regular season is actually over? Why vote and announce with 18% of the season still to play?
Makes no sense to me.
The Pro Bowl is by far the silliest and least interesting and least watchable of any all star game. And there is no good reason to fix any of it, so agree it could be scrapped.Me neither. They should just scrap the whole thing and publicize the all-pro and individual positional honors more.
Right; for those who didn’t click @Van Everyman ’s link:They don’t even go to Hawaii anymore, to boot, at least since 2015. It’s instead been hosted by Orlando or Vegas.
And this year they’re scrapping any pretense of a tackle football game; they’ll be playing some form of flag football.
Because it is wholly unimportant?Pro bowl rosters have been announced and Judon is the only Pats’ player to make it.

Week 16, but yeah. Could be a fun game tonight.Who'd have thunk the week 17 Jags-Jets game would be important?

I read you can subscribe to it on YouTube or as an add on for YouTube TV. Meaning you won’t have to be a YTTV subscriber to get the ticket.Nfl Sunday ticket is going to YoutubeTV effective next year.
I read that as well. That is a bonus because you can get only the package and keep whatever other programming you have and it is also great for cord cutters.I read you can subscribe to it on YouTube or as an add on for YouTube TV. Meaning you won’t have to be a YTTV subscriber to get the ticket.
Gone are the days Direct TV will be in business in the future, I think.I read that as well. That is a bonus because you can get only the package and keep whatever other programming you have and it is also great for cord cutters.
Having said that, gone are the days when people called DirecTV to cancel the service in the hopes of getting a big discount on Sunday Ticket.
While I can't say I'm surprised that Sunday Ticket ended up with Google, Amazon or Apple, Google seemed like the least likely of the three. Good for them. This seems like a blow to Apple's plans for sports streaming.Nfl Sunday ticket is going to YoutubeTV effective next year.
From one of the articles I read, apple withdrew from the deal as they saw no sense in this add on.While I can't say I'm surprised that Sunday Ticket ended up with Google, Amazon or Apple, Google seemed like the least likely of the three.

Bolded the relevant partThe tidbit comes from a Puck article about Bob Iger’s surprise return to Disney. According to author Dylan Byers, Apple recently said no to the NFL “not because they can’t afford [the package], but because they don’t see the logic.”
Also from the Puck piece was an interesting deal point I didn't know... the major broadcast partners (CBS/FOX/NBC/ABC) have veto power over pricing for the Sunday Ticket package, currently with a floor of the $300 DirecTV was charging. If that price were to drop too low, they could feel the effect in their super-expensive broadcast deals. So Apple couldn't provide Sunday ticket at a discount, and Amazon can't roll it into a Prime Subscription... which narrows their options to monetize it.From one source:
