  1. I love watching the Padres booth guys almost as much as my own. It’s like they start drinking first pitch, and by the 5th/6th things get really entertaining. (They’re not, but it’s all in good fun.)
  2. My understanding is they will also be available on peacock as well, but hopefully not just peacock for any of them. But with having games available on both falls under the parent company and not just NBC.
  3. Sunday night baseball moves to nbc, ESPN gets a mid-week package. Fox/TBS stay the same. Apple stays the same. Netflix is getting the HR Derby, and FoD. MLB.tv stays the same, but 6 teams will be able to have in-market games as well (assumed as an extra for those in those markets.) ESPN app subscribers can buy an mlb.tv subscription through the ESPN app, and/or an in-market subscription. A bit of a circus, but nothing that’s really different overall. MLB gets another path of subscriptions, sunday night changes channels, now there’s mid-week national games. I was wondering similar and looked into that stuff (overall, not just ROOT) last spring. It’s my understanding their intentions are to retain teams current broadcast staff. The end result is you should get the same people and broadcast, but through mlb.tv and not all the random RSN’s.
  4. Looks like it’s just an agreement to allow espn to be an additional outlet to purchase mlb.tv, and/or the in-market games, and be able to watch them through espn. As an option, not a requirement. Like how you’re able to get showtime stuff on paramount+ or hulu on disney+, with the right package. At least that’s how I’m reading it from the couple articles I’ve seen.
  5. There’s the mlb notes. Here’s the linky: https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-announces-media-rights-deals-with-espn-nbc-netflix
  6. Same as usual is my understanding: mlb.tv The difference on those teams is instead of an RSN, their home games will also be through mlb.tv. It’s the start of what MLB has been after long-term in getting it all combined under one roof. How espn is playing into that specifically, in terms of distribution, I dunno how that works yet. I need to read more here in a few. So whether ESPN is going to be where you go for mlb.tv, or if they mean you can buy it through espn is where I’m uncertain. Or maybe you’ll be able to link your mlb account and use either the mov app, or the espn app. What’s more on top of that, I just saw that NBC is getting Sunday night and some other shit. Saw a ticker, have to dig that up.
  7. MBG is gonna have a field day with this. They're not even caught up yet.
  8. Runway roadkill. That would be her for sure, but worse.
  9. FIU? That statement is absolutely fucking stupid. If a coach gets fired for cause, kiss that payday goodbye. And we're not firing him this round unless there is cause.
  10. What about a Plymouth? How’s it work?
  11. Got dayum you’re quick on the draw. Thanks.
  12. @immamac might know?
  13. How come Uncle Elroy gets a train?
  14. Don’t them cocksuckers know we have important things to discuss about curtains and cryptic symbol messages?!!!? Jerry Jones did this. Skeletor mother fucker.
  15. This is absolutely part of the problem, and not just with Sark and Texas. Everyone is dealing with the increased demands, scouting, NIL, and all of that shit. He has to learn to delegate more efficiently. If more assistants are needed, so be it. However, that still does not address the elephant in the room. That elephant being his ability to adapt, especially in game. Exactly. And if these coaches are so fucking "smart" about their sport to the point they get the guru/genius tag, then why the fuck can't they see the forest for the trees? It's a bit fucking ridiculous. Maybe they need an average Joe to help point shit out that the meatheads are seeing. Right? A few coaches do it, and do it well (overall.) Take Andy Reid for example. It's his offense, he's calling the shots, and he's on the sidelines. However, the big difference between having success in that aspect and failure is whom you put in the sky. You have to have top shelf personnel that can make all of those assessments, be able to relay pertinent information, and maybe even suggest a few play options. Or at the very least they should be able to tell the coach what/who/when/where to exploit, and let the coach figure out which part of the playbook to get into. That's not happening here, and if Sark's coaching here next season that is something that needs to be fixed. Either that or let him build the McLaren and then hire a driver. But I guess we can debate that all off-season, but whatever the end result is we'll have plenty to talk about.
  16. The ones with cookies?
  17. I’m treading water at 75k, covered with breathing room at 100k, have been 150k-200k for just shy of the last 15 years.
  18. Be thankful I got something to eat.
