Could you please list the things that the "majority" of people watch? I'll help you out. There aren't any. That is the poison of streaming. With the wonderful, consumer protecting, bundle, I, yes, pay a few pennies for things I would never watch. So do millions of people, and writ large...

Until 2028. Then? No one is going to be around to bid for baseball. In the anti-consumer future, it is just another thing that we will no longer have to enjoy.

Multiple issues here. - The playoffs are too long. Baseball should be over by now. Adding levels, meaning all be 4 or 6 teams are "in contention for a playoff spot" until the last weekend creates faux regular season drama, but at the expense of the playoffs' being meaningful. - ESPN, et al...

The issue was, as with most things NASCAR, the idiocy of the France family. Despite the series being fantastically popular and profitable, they listened to dumb people and allowed this "car of tomorrow" to be developed. (NASCAR cars, for decades, were all the same underneath, they just hung...

ACC Signed through 2036. Disney (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPNU, ABC, ACC Network, ESPN+ streaming) has rights to all games, except CW has one 12:30 game per week. All games not shown on linear TV will be streamed on ESPN+. AAC Signed through 2031. Disney (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPNU, ABC, ESPN+...

Because you posted this: Sorry for trying to help you out. Won't happen again.

The opening night TNF game, and the Thanksgiving night game, are part of the NBC deal. Amazon's deal is for the other TNF games. College: ACC Signed through 2036. Disney (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPNU, ABC, ACC Network, ESPN+ streaming) has rights to all games, except CW has one 12:30 game per...

The polls are meaningless. The goal of the season is to, if you are in a "power 5" conference, have less losses, preferably none, than the other teams. Nothing else matters. The polls just give the talking heads something to argue about.

Of course, it will backfire, as will all televised sports not called NFL, and most other forms of entertainment. Streaming doesn't work as a business plan, that is clear. Rutgers is in the Big 10 because the Big 10 Network, AKA Fox, outsmarted everyone else, which is a pretty common thing...

- The Big 12 is garbage. West Virginia was manhandled by a, truth be told, destined for third or fourth place, Penn State. Sanders' crew beat Texas Christian. Sun Belter Texas State embarrassed Baylor. Mountain Wester Wyoming beats Texas Tech. Everyone else played a cupcake. - Sad to see...

It depends. Bally's has to right to sell the app "a la carte" in Detroit, Miami, Tampa, Kansas City, and Milwaukee. In the other Bally's markets (Cleveland, St. Louis, Twin Cities, Cincinnati, Los Angeles (Angels), Atlanta, and DFW) you need to be a subscriber to a traditional linear TV...

You mean when they incorrectly CHANGED the engine rules. Yep. Change is bad. Tracks the were not "boring" before all the CHANGES. Yep. Change is bad. Yes. Talk about people stuck in the past. Baseball fans. They want a game played on a diamond where the purpose is to advance runners...

I don't live in Indianapolis, but I do follow Indy Car. I do not understand the local blackout, which as I said AFAIK is the last one in sports with the purpose of protecting the live gate. Technology will probably moot the point, if it hasn't already, but I do not think the live gate will...

(Assuming you are in the Brewers market) You misunderstand what the purpose of mlb.tv and "blackouts" are for. It has nothing to do with the team being at home or away. Blackouts to protect the live gate have gone the way of the dodo bird long ago. The only remaining on, AFAIK, is for the...

These sorts of articles bubble up from time to time. The thing is the NFL, unlike all the other sports, shares almost all of its revenue. The biggest source of revenue, by far, is TV, and, unlike all other sports, that is a national deal, share and share alike. The league also share ticket...

ESPN quit caring about what the core college football fan base thinks long ago. It does not understand us. It does not want to try to. To me these mega-conference expansions and these idiotic playoffs are two symptoms of the same disease.

IMHO, don't think of these things as conferences anymore. They are groups of schools that have nothing in common whatsoever which are in packages assembled to sell TV rights. As such, being geographically spread out (unless you are the SEC, which doesn't need to be) makes sense. IMFHO, the...

The new TV contract has the NFL playing on Christmas unless it falls on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Because 24 is a leap year, it will skip Tuesday in the rotation, meaning only the 24 season will not have one (Christmas on Wednesday in 24). This kills the NBA, which is fine with me, I wouldn't...

SRX, which ESPN has rebranded under its old Thursday Night Thuner name after 2 great years on CBSSN, is the rejoinder to all the useful idiots that enable the Frances in their IMSAization and other destructive changes to NASCAR. The excuse making goes something like NASCAR has to IMSAize...

The phrase among motorsports commentators is "IMSAization". Turning NASCAR into something like IMSA. A street/parking lot/infield of a proper oval race in a car with nothing stock about the car beside a sticker that says "brand X" is IMSA. NASCAR is something else. Of course a driver from...

Yeah, IMSA is a form of motorsports. Just not as popular as NASCAR. Sadly the powers that are mismanaging NASCAR don't realize that, in their headlong pursuit of bankruptcy.

An IMSA driver won an IMSA race. Move on.

SEC Shorts is always funny. Seriously, I don't see the call for 9 conference games in the SEC. Especially when you understand that four teams have to play major rivals non-conference (South Carolina-Clemson, Kentucky-Louisville, Florida-Florida State, Georgia-Georgia Tech, plus probably...

IMHO, the A's, and MLB, need to just rip the band-aid off and move on. The A's had a "reverse boycott", where people were going to show up to show the team had support, and drew only 27K. If they can get out for the 24 season, do it. Certainly for 25. Even if they do years at the AAA park...

Flyers won in 74, its 7th NHL season. Oilers won in 84, its 5th season in the NHL, although it had played 7 seasons in the WHA before the "merger". Knights are in their 6th season.
