  1. I've got a Tablo. Yes, it can connect with wifi or wired. Think of it as a device that takes an antenna signal and redistributes it on a (wired or wireless) network. You download the Tablo app to your TV/iPad/phone and use it to watch whatever is coming in over your antenna. The pros are that it comes with a nice guide, and has a built-in DVR that works surprisingly well. The con is that navigating the app is slow. I wouldn't say it's buggy per se in my experience, but it's pretty sluggish. As far as signal reception goes, I think it's probably at least as good as plugging your antenna straight into the TV. It has a built in amplifier that you can turn on or off (doesn't seem to make much of a difference for me).
  2. Wait why on Earth would he turn down a 53-man spot?
  3. I can translate Pochese. What he's saying is "half my European-based players are entitled bitches that don't care about the national team and/or ride the pine for their club. On the other hand, Diego Luna wants to run through a motherfucking brick wall. Give me more of that energy."
  4. It's going to be hard to do. We're stuck with Semien and Joc because of their contracts. Would have to pay someone to take them. Higgy will be here on a reasonable deal. Heim should have a reasonable arbitration cost attached, but also he's been horrible and advanced stats don't even like his defense anymore. I wouldn't mind if they move on there. Langford, Jung, Burger, Smith, and Carter are all cheap. The big question for me is Adolis. He's arb-eligible next year, probably set to earn around the same $9-ish million he got this year. But he's been dreadful at the plate for two full years now. I don't think you can just cross your fingers and hope he gets better. We've got some money coming off the books with Gray and Mahle. That's almost $30m right there. But they have to completely rebuild the bullpen again, and need a starter.
  5. Looks like FS1 just has Big 10 dregs. Judging by your username, I'm guessing you're not an Indiana fan. Note that the Sling daily pass isn't available for Sling Blue, which is their package with Fox and FS1. It's only for Sling Orange (which has ESPN).
  6. hoo boy. looking forward to that meme shoehorned into every single context for the next 6 months
  7. That is correct. I have the latest gen Tablo and I have to be inside my home network. If you're tech savvy, I think people have messed around with doing VPNs so they can watch remotely, but I've never bothered.
  8. Can you say more about this? I have an antenna for OTA but can never get FOX just right. As others have said, YouTube (not YouTube TV) was pretty good last year. Just search for the two teams, there will be some random dude from Thailand or whatever streaming it. If it gets taken down (they usually don't) just rinse and repeat. It's YouTube so nothing sketchy.
  9. They'll just start charging to gate check. Swipe your card here, sir, or you may exit through security and check your bag at the ticket counter.
  10. It's borderline. Plenty of teams keep 2 on the active roster and stash 1 more on the practice squad. Sounds like that's what's going to happen with Sam.
  11. This cunt is absolutely going to insert himself into the proceedings as much as possible. I bet they end up playing a propaganda video on the jumbotron before every match. Good thing our team also sucks and is unlikable. Should be a great tournament.
  12. Yeah, still looking fit. Give him a uniform and get him out there.
  13. OK I have a stupid question for this thread because I'm not extremely knowledgeable on the details of all the Epstein stuff. I see constant posts on Reddit, etc about releasing the files. But my question is in what fucking universe does anything think that this administration would release anything that paints Trump or his buddies in a negative light? If/when the "files" ever come out, it will literally just be a piece of paper that says "every Democrat rapes children". What does that accomplish?
  14. Our three rivals are obvious and I don't give a single fuck about anyone else's three rivals.
  15. Sling monthly might work for you. Or you can prepay for 5 months for $200. That’s just for one Sling package but you can switch back and forth between them freely. Personally I think I’m going to mess with Sling daily this year and see how I like that. Between that and OTA I feel like I’ll be able to watch plenty of football.
  16. 7-16 since sweeping Atlanta on July 27
  17. Good analysis, I agree with your groups. I think I'd move Guilbeau and Williams both up one level but that's about it.
  18. I can't believe the thread is just going to skip right over the fact that apparently there's a real guy named "Blain Crain". His parents are fucking wild for that one.
  19. I guess it's not very fair because he was a true freshman at the time, but I can't read Kadyn Proctor's name without thinking about future 5th round pick Ethan Burke absolutely abusing him in Tuscaloosa.
  20. Here's the blurb from the article on Hill:
  21. Pretty interesting that he's got Turntine and 4 juniors at OL.
  22. I'm trying.... Summer recruiting is over, pretty much everyone is committed, so from now on it's flips/late bloomers/2027 dudes reclassifying. QB - Done. Just hang on to Bell. RB - See QB. Lots of speculation that we'd stay on Edwards for a 2 back class, but Bobby squashed that the other day. Just hang on to Cooper seems to be the plan. WR - Definitely need 1 more. Not sure where they plan to play Bishop. Reporting is that they'll stay on Lott. Ship has probably sailed with Finley. Paris Melvin possibly on the back burner. TE - Seems like they wanted 1 elite guy and couldn't find one/land one. Depth chart is pretty young and talented. Supposedly there's a 5-star 2027 guy that's high on us. I bet we just shut it down here. IOL - Personally I think we gotta have at least 1, maybe 2. Haven't seen much but I bet we stay in contact with the two aggy guys. We passed on Katoa. I bet a new name or two emerges here eventually. OT - Need 1. Seems like Lee is the target. I'm sure there's a backup plan but damned if I know what it is. DT - I'm sure we'll have our work cut out holding on to all 4 of these OOS guys. This seems like a spot where they'll always take another guy if they can. EG - Henderson or bust? Need another IMO but they're not gonna take a guy that can't contribute. LB - Hang on to Atkinson. Otherwise done? CB - Early emergence of Littleton reduces the need here. Still I'd think 1 more would be ideal. No names. S - By all acounts, staying on Benjamin. So I'm still expecting 1 WR, 1 IOL, 1 OT, 1 EG, 1 CB, and 1 S. That'd give us 27 including the three specialists. IMO the biggest remaining needs are at OL and DB.
  23. The auction is like 90% art that looks exactly like it belongs in a mid-range hotel room. Unless you're looking for a 7 ft statue of an Asian lion, or a $380 rock, you can probably do better down at your local Hobby Lobby.
  24. Great find. I’ve been looking to spend $380 on a fucking rock and finally I get my chance.
