College football season just starting and this happens BS

Will update

Yep, the same typical bullshit as last time and both sides point fingers like a bunch of 5 year olds. And these assholes always use football as their bargaining chip while the viewers get screwed.

Blame this on Disney................ They over pay for NCAAF, NBA and NFL. They can tax the advertisers but they aren't paying more than already have been. So the only logical choice is to screw the public and how easier of a way than DTV and Dish.

Woke ESPN outside of football they can keep nearly everything and that includes the longest kept beard competition. I mean who comes up with that shit? Better yet who do they think watches it?

It's all about the money they can get from us because they know we won't revolt and until we do it won't change.

Unfortunately, it's not just one platform that is trying to milk the public (everyone wants a piece of the golden geese). So unless you're willing to start gardening on the weekend and completely give up on all football, you are pretty much screwed. Don't want to bend over for Disney, no problem. You can bend over for Peacock, YouTube, etc. I'd say there was a pretty good protest over the Mia/Chiefs playoff game. Hopefully they'll be more of that. Shy of a platform paying the NFL $110 million upfront like Peacock did, the NFL advertisers will take notice at a 20 million drop in viewership despite what Goodell claims. And Peacock lost $2.75 billion last year. Let's see how long that can continue.

I had the Sunday Ticket from it's inception. Once it went to YT, that ended. Peacock for football no thanks.

There are plenty of streamers out there that show the games. Albeit a play or two behind but who cares. Watching the game live on local tv is behind. Ever try to beat the books in live betting when a score happens, they already had it 30 seconds ago!

Even live at the game, I've tried it to no avail. These shops have tools we could only dream of having at our disposal.

My wife threatened to get the NFL Sunday Ticket when I go to Vegas on a weekend in October mid-month. She's not totally onboard with the sports bar thing. I really want to get back to watching at least 8 games for the early games. A buddy is now conspiring with her and may be the hero. He's giving me access through the YouTube family plan thing. It says online you can actually share the NFL Sunday Ticket with up to 5 friends/family members. We'll see if it works. My wife prefers staying at home and cooking up a breakfast (which I certainly enjoy when I can watch what I want to). If you get a live stream for Friday's game and wouldn't mind sharing the info, let me know and I'll email you again. I appreciate the Bitcoin tip.

Just e-mail me, I always have links, you just want to make sure you use them on a browser that doesn't allow pop ups.

The best browser for this in my view is Brave.

Little known secret - Peacock for example has a paid service but with ads, use Brave and you don't see the ads period! Instant upgrade. I know this because I have Peacock. But I don't have it for football but WWE PPV and the Mrs loves the SVU shows.

About Time Disney and Direct TV have a agreement. all channels working as far as I can see
