You only have to see the ice on Reid’s mustache to get an idea of what these guys are dealing with.
That’s a lesson I’ll carry forward - you’re going to want to daub all of the soup from your moustaches in sub-zero weather.

I hope NBC are enjoying taking this frozen turd up the ass. That is all.

If we had a representative democracy, our government working for the voters and not on behalf of the scant number of monopolists, the NFL would be in line to lose its de facto exemption from antitrust laws. These antitrust laws are an integral aspect of “free markets” and the rags defending the NFL today basis the “free market” line know they are lying. But, these rags work for the advertisers and not the viewers.

You’re the last guy I expected to complain about games being available via streaming, but technology is a fickle mistress, I guess.
And two HH game balls:
-
Derek Stingley, Jr. A few weeks ago Amari Cooper went off on the Texans, and we wondered why they didn’t just put Stingley on him. Well, they did last night and it completely took him out of the game. I think the only catches he had were a the two or three times they didn’t have Stingley n him. I know Cooper has been banged up a little too, but he was just a non-factor, and Stingley should get a ton of credit for that.

Laremy Tunsil. I give him shit all the time, and I still think he’s overrated, but he was a force last night against the best defense in the league. Stroud was never on his butt, except the bizarrely stupid designed run at the goal line. Tunsil played a helluva game. With no penalties!

I guess I’m just a simpleton who thinks both ESPN and Peacock are products you have to pay for.

Maybe give a game ball to Slowik. He dialed up play after play after fucking play of open shots against a good defense. It was a symphony.
Yeah…no.
You don’t understand…I’ve been an NFL fan for 147 years….streaming…you’re never getting a dime from me!
That’s just because it wasn’t on the Apple streaming thing
Can you not get Peacock on Apple shit?
I meant to highlight Tunsil’s performance. He made Garrett essentially a non-factor. That’s not something you usually see.

I read earlier that Stingley was on Cooper for 80% of their passing plays, and he allowed no catches on those plays.
Another shoutout to Derek Barnett. Caserio picked him up off of the Eagles trashpile and he’s been a serious contributor over the past few weeks.
I subscribe to Peacock for the Premier League games, which is akin to buying the NFL Season Pass (or whatever it’s called), as it allows me to watch any/all the games. It makes sense that NBC cannot be expected to obliterate their weekend schedules with all the footie. I think it’s excellent value for what I get from it, but that is just the PL.
It was a blatant attempt at a subscriber grab for NBC to buy the rights for national broadcast of a playoff game, and then run it exclusively on its streaming service. Run the game on NBC and bombard the viewing public with commercials for the streaming platform; if people see value in it, they will subscribe.
In the end, NBC got a frozen turd of a game that very few people outside of soccer fans got to see.
I guess it depends on how you define “frozen turd”.

For anyone that got Peacock for a free week, I highly recommend watching, The Holdovers, before the week is up.
Well it was the first time they put an NFL playoff game on a streaming platform.
The real test is how many of those viewers will stick around after the 7-day free trial is up (or, perhaps the better test, when the first month’s charge hits their credit card as they’d forgotten to cancel before the free trial period ended and haven’t thought about Peacock since watching the game).
