Paramount certainly didn’t take much time to start creating Yellowstone spin-offs.
The first one came out a year ago. 1883. It was phenomenal.

They are doing all these spin offs because Paramount sold the streaming rights to Yellowstone to Peaock. One of the worst decisions a network could make. So they are churning out the spin offs due to the popularity. Yellowstone is on Paramount network but the current season cannot be streamed anywhere, unless you buy it from Amazon or Apple. And the past seasons of Yellowstone are on Peacock. It's a mess. Streaming Wars.

I mean, this has been one of the more entertaining games you could watch in the NFL playoffs. If this isn't working for you, football isn't working for you.

Obviously I also hate The League, but this broadcast has been excellent, despite Nantz the Devil.
Oh, I’m watching and enjoying. But commercials on NFL games are especially loud and aggressive. It’s by design. For marketing. They make the announcing loud and aggressive and the commercials loud and aggressive to make the overall broadcast more seamless. It’s brilliant for profitability, but if you step away for awhile, it’s a bit jarring to come back.

I think they just gave Sheridan the entire studio.
I don't know how he does it.

He's got like 6 shows going right now. He writes all of the episodes for Yellowstone, 1883, and 1923. And he's involved in Mayor of Kingstown and Tulsa King. And he's got 4 more shows in development. Whatever he's taking, I am interested, and I am not a drug guy.

It's gotta be insane if you're not used to watching it, that much is true.

And commercials are incredibly loud. I think the FCC actually made a rule that networks could only make commercials so loud. Because it used to be much worse.

Waddle fucking SUCKS.

Yes, there is a law about the volume.

You should check out this amazing invention called "The Mute Button".

It's also useful for Romo.

Nantz and Romo have become insufferbly cute (or something)
Sound off. Music on. And, unlike old days, there's so much info on the screen that you don't really have to pay as close attention as you used to.

Ha! There you go. And pretty sure they max it out, eh?

Waddle loves doing the griddy. He also loves dropping passes.

If you're a guy who has a pretty famous TD celebration, you have to make catches. There is a very good chance Waddle has 100 million dollars on the Buffalo money line. :)

Yup, yup. But, as per above, watching these broadcasts are a skill unto itself and I need to re-learn how to keep track of when to watch the damn thing!

Waddle dropped one early. Another was slightly underthrown letting D recover. That one was an excellent play by D

Buffalo is so utterly out of sync. NFL games are funny. Teams absolutely get rattled. Even phenomenal teams playing against a pretty lousy QB and an offense that doesn't catch balls. And Coaches definitely get rattled.

Brandon Staley nods.

I keep looking up and expect to think that "Allen better get going soon." And then I see it's less than halfway thru the 3rd q.

Buffalo having an emotional letdown (if that's what this) isn't surprising given last week's emotional rollercoaster.
