I hope they don't replace Scott Hanson with Stephen A. Smith, that would be a disaster
This merger is going to upset a lot of fans

Hanson just got a new contract,he's staying

That was prior to this news
He could walk away if he wants, he's a rich man and there's. more missionaries abroad

I am sure he knew of this. This actually puts into context what he said after signing the new deal.

If he walks I hope they get the voice of The Haunted Mansion to do Red Zone

Doesn’t Disney destroy everything they touch?

But it's ok. It's for us, the fans. And probably player safety.

Andor is the best Star Wars content.

Other than that, maybe.

I have Rogue One listed 3rd on my all time Star Wars films, jut can't nudge it any higher or ahead of New Hope and Empire, saw both in theaters back in '77 and '80, you cannot recreate that
Rogue One however took me back to when Star Wars felt new and eye opening and I wasn't sure what was coming next
It's dark and of course it has cameos we had not seen up to that point. I saw it in theaters multiple times, loved the droid and bought it hook, line and sinker
The scene where Vader takes it right up to the handoff for New Hope is something I've never seen in a movie or done as well as that

I boycott Disney mostly, will never have a Disney Minus account, never.

Indeed. Many missionary positions to be filled

Andor is incredible

They said on NFL Network that the deal still has to be approved by owners and regulators, and the regulator process could last into the start of next season. So no changes this season, and hopefully maybe no changes for 2026.

Regulators!... mount up.

I haven't figured out how I'm going to watch football this season yet. I've done YouTubeTV the last two years with the Sunday Ticket but it's just such a crappy deal. I could care less about the TV portion but that is like $70/month just to be eligible to add the Sunday Ticket. I'm probably bottom feeding this year with the international streams and crappy local stuff.

And then next year I *guess* I'll add the bundle to my Disney stuff assuming that's how this breaks down.

(But I'm ready to start thinking creatively about A:how many devices/IPs can one account be used on and B:find that many people to split it)

barackdhouse, are you thinking you have to get YouTube television to get Sunday Ticket? I’ve gotten Sunday Ticket for two years straight without the television package. You can get a stand-alone package for $480 before taxes and fees. I hope this helps you out and I’m surprised I’m reading your lament to mean this. I’m almost sure I’m misreading but one never knows. If this is irrelevant, my apologies. Best of luck!

My only complaint about Andor is that there's no more to his story. Could have watched that forever. Even if you hate star wars - there's only ever two mentions of the force in the entire show.

No I didn't know.

But it doesn't matter because I pulled the trigger a few hours ago on another option that I ALSO did not know existed until one of you said so above. NFL+ Premium gets me all I want/need and it was only $80 flat annual price. Done.

That's the thing is that the info is not being disseminated but then I am a dinosaur and avoid ads like the plague. I don't watch sports punditry for example. I don't listen to it either. No everything I had ever seen upon a lot of searching (last offseason and prior) was that I had to have the base YTTV package first. Same with Hulu. I have never ever ever seen a standalone package offered. I was told there was such a thing as Youtube NFL Sunday Ticket separate from YouTube TV, but when I looked into that there was some kind of dead end I ran into, I forget what it was but it was definitely not a prompt to pay $480 or the like. I don't *think* it was that avenue that prompted me to input my TV provider but that is what I have often ran into. I probably would have passed anyway since the add-on to YTTV is only around $200-$300 depending on when you take advantage of their promos. I think it's being offered to me right now for $230. Now obviously $70 x 5 months of football season for the base package + $230 is not a good of a deal as $480 but it's super close and the one does get you a large cable TV package and the other is the stand alone. So... it's not super great in my mind to pay $480 for the stand alone. IDK. $100 for 5 months of the YTTV package is what it turns out to.

Anyway I'm happy to do RedZone and replays on NFL+ Premium. Sunday Ticket isn't that big of a deal to me. We also have Paramount (CBS), Prime (TNF), and I forget which one has NBC but we have that too for SNF. I think MNF is gonna be the one that I get screwed on this year and have to improvise for. That's ESPN and Disney and I *think* ESPN+ does not include MNF.

 

[Snotbubbles]

I'm sure my package that includes RedZone will go from $9.99 a month to like $19.99 a month.

Thank You!
B2B seasons i've done about the same thing and split it with my son, they'll allow for 1 password on 2 TVs, we're 250 miles apart from each other, or maybe we have 2 passwords
It hasn't been an issue and the enjoyment has been fantastic. You have to pay extra to get the local games televised thru the Ticket which is annoying

Roger promises few changes to NFL RedZone, plus college RedZone possibilities.

Roger Goodell hints at College Football RedZone amid ESPN deal

[scothawk]

College Redzone would have so many rapid screen changes and loud audio overlaps, that it would trigger many people and spawn its own series of "If you have watched College Redzone then you may be entitled to compensation" commercials throughout football season.

It's unlimited devices on your home network and then an additional 2 devices outside of your home network. So you could actually split it three ways. I was paying for the whole thing and just kind of gifting the other 2 logins to my son and a friend. Now that my daughter is going to be a college freshman, I'm having her sign up with the student discount and only paying $129 for ST w/RZ. Although it's a one device limit. So I won't be able to do the multi-TV thing anymore unless one TV is on the regular local FOX/CBS broadcast.

I feel a disturbance in the Force. Mikey gonna game us all and sprinkle ads like Midi-chlorians and thus rule the world for the darkside?
