If they reduce the price than I probably will stay, but only cause I already get ESPN/Disney/Hulu for free via a legacy Verizon plan. 

Honestly my health has improved by not being able to watch Texas Football live and just watching highlights later.

Craig Way radio on 1300 The Zone, is the “Way” to go…..free.

On my second 5-day trial of DirecTV streaming with a different email. Waiting it out until YouTubeTV either figures it out or doesn’t. 
 

DirecTV streaming isn’t bad. Stream quality seems better than YTTV but I miss the interface.

I did a FUBO trail for the Vandy game then cancelled within the 5 day trail.   I received an email today from FUBO offering $70 off for the first full month with the pro package with sports package.   Total was about 109, but minus the 70 bucks and no obligation after the first month.  I am waiting until tomorrow, but I am going with that option for a month so the YTTV shit to get worked out.

Even if you can watch it on TV, mute Herbie’s bitch ass and listen to Craig 

“Texas moving left to right, in the white jerseys, white pants and white helmet” is so much better than Herbie whining about someone’s pants length

Well Disney better be careful or else Google is gonna just start/buy up some sports channel and get in the sports broadcasting business themselves.  They have the $$ to do it and are not just gonna sit idly by and let their enterprise go bankrupt. 

They can start a sports channel and get in the broadcasting business if they are morons, but without the multi-year media rights to college football, college hoops, the NFL, the NBA, MLB, etc...what the fuck are they going to show that people will pay for?  The Big10 media rights come up for renewal in 2030, the SEC in 2034, the NBA in 2037, the NFL in 2033, etc.. I guess they can send this guy out with a camera and hope nobody notices him on the sideline

It amuses me that people think YTTV has much leverage here. They are one of many distribution channels for the ESPN suite. Without details on what pricing is currently being rejected by YTTV and the pricing paid by the other streaming/cable channels its a bit hard to say who is being the bigger asshole here. But at the end of the day, Disney owns the content, and that is leverage that matters. If YTTV wants special pricing that would cause Disney to have to renegotiate their other deals, I would tell google to eat a dick as well. People will follow the content and that lost money this qtr will slowly come back as people migrate to different solutions.

Bruh... we're taking my son and his friends to the Crossover (may as well be Lubbock) for his birthday.  So far away.  At least they have a giant TV outside.

Ha. I actually googled the phrase "Double Barrel Cheryl" to see if I could catch that clip, and I guess it's origin was some dude on the Theo Von show. But the funnier aspect is the first google result was some poor broad with that unfortunate insta handle. I imagine she might see an increase in traffic and interesting commentary on her posts

Well yea Disney has the leverage now and Google is gonna have to cave on this fight.  What I am saying is medium/long term, Google may decide to bite back if Disney pushes something unreasonable.  2030, 2033, 2034 is not that far away and they could make things difficult for ESPN/Disney if Google decides to throw their weight around.  Disney is getting into the streaming business to compete against YTTV, however YTTV could also get in the sports broadcasting business to compete against Disney.  Obviously not gonna work short term,  but on a medium term, Disney could find themselves fucked if they try to push too hard.

True, but where is Alphabet going to find the level of on the air talent hired by the Mouse and the reason why everyone watches ESPN and not the content.

A few months ago they sent me an email offering $30 off a month for like 6 months without any conditions on my part and I said sure.  Then my bill went down to $49 and next month they are giving me extra $20 credit.  So if I am paying $29/month I am sticking around for awhile.

I did that too. Saw it in the cord cutters thread. I’m wondering now if they knew this was coming.

As an FYI, that particular method of redaction isn't terribly effective. You'll want to use a proper redaction tool that actually removes the information entirely rather than attempt to merely cover it up.
