  1. Finally went to my first MLB game this season. Marked off 17th stadium in the form of Truist Park for Braves vs Phillies. Cool park and nice. Area isn't great to get to and overly crowded area. Also traffic and all is the worst I've seen. 6-4 Phillies win with Kimbrel getting save 400 vs his old team. 

     

    Also proposed to my GF on this, so now an engaged man. Wasn't at the game though, was the following day 

     

    Planning to hit 18th stadium in September vs Baltimore in Houston. Also planning to go to Colts Texans that weekend

    For whatever it’s worth….

     

    Pat did NOT sellout to ESPN.    I don’t know what he’s going to be making, but odds are he’s taking a large pay CUT. 
     

    Fan Duel was paying him $30 mil per year.   4 years and $120m total.   To the best of my knowledge,  Stephen A is the highest paid guy at ESPN at roughly $12m per year.   Odds are Pat will be making less.   So why would he take such a big cut?   For the brand of ESPN.   All of the various channels and platforms.   More eye balls, more listeners and viewers.    He’ll no longer be a big fish in a smaller pond, he’ll be a bigger fish in a bigger ocean with more opportunities.   It’s a long play….

     

    Props to Pat and his crew…. 

    I saw 10M. And one of the reasons he is moving is to take some of the pressure of producing the show off. ESPN will pick up that work. With his kid and some of the other guys having kids it is to allow them to have more time.

    Are you 100% sure on this ? I hope you are right, $349 for the year is cheap compared to what Directtv charged. I just checked up and you are right!

    "There will be two ways for NFL fans to get Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV.

    The first will be as an add-on to a YouTube TV subscription. That would require users to subscribe to the service and then purchase the additional channel as part of its overall package.

    The other option would be to purchase Sunday Ticket as a stand-alone option using YouTube Primetime Channels. That allows subscribers to purchase specific premium channels and streaming services that they like using the YouTube app."

     

    Note there are no refunds once you commit and there are no single team deals. 

    Yep! And for you cheaper for me it's a lot more. From 120 to 349 (student streaming discount with DTV).

     

    But should be better done longterm than direct was for those of us who only streamed

    Scratch.. it is $80 /month not week =4/5 months =$360 -$400/yr + the setup money. Much easier on the wallet.

     

     

    80/Month is related to Youtube TV which you can buy and have (if you want). You then will add NFL Sunday Ticket to that for 249 (289 with Sunday Ticket). 

     

    If you do not want to to have YouTube TV you can buy just NFL Sunday ticket for the $349 ($389 with Redzone)

    The last away game I went to was in Nashville back in 2015, and a drunk Titans fan threatened to kill me after the Colts won. I wasn’t doing anything but wearing my Luck jersey and walking down the stairs. 

    I had an issue with them last year when my GF and I went, some were nice, but there was more than a fair share that were just nasty. I wont go back until the new stadium and will make sure to sit low

    What do you think the opening night game will be? Chiefs vs Eagles or Chiefs vs Bengals or something else? I am thinking it will be Chiefs vs Bengals, what a way it would be to start the season.

     

    Outside a Thursday Night game, do you think the Colts will be featured in any primetime game at all?

    Chiefs/Bengals is Dec 31

     

    And outside of Thursday night and Germany game I don't think they will

    Oh no. I am so sorry to hear that. Do you work in the tech industry? I am hopeful that you will be working at another job soon.

    Sorry to hear that but you are young and life will work out for you and your gf, just have to stay positive.


    I know it’s easier said than done but being laid off at 50-60 is tougher on someone (something that is always in the back of my head), makes it much harder to get back into the workforce.

     

     

    Thanks Guys. Ya it really sucked. Was not expecting it. And Accounting profession. Her and I are lucky enough as our friend's dad owns a recruiting business and we already been able to talk with them

    It is not starting off right for the Mets. Edwin Diaz, their star closer, got hurt in his team's celebration of a win against the top team Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic. 

     

    It seems to be a major injury. 

    Tore his patellar tendon in right knee. Will likely be out for season

    I am looking forward to it and if you didn't know there are 8 teams this year.  St. Louis Battlehawks are one of the teams closest to Indy.

    Hope it's good and fun like it was before!  Will you be watching?

    I am looking forward to it. Hoping to go to a game or 2, since I live in Stl. AJ McCarron is likely the starting QB

    We have had a player vacate their team in the Elite League. There is opportunity to adopt this team. I have PM’d @PuntersArePeopleToo to see if anyone is interested. The vacated roster can be seen in the Elite thread

    Anybody know who Luck is?

    Any particular reason we are drafting on a Monday?

     

    Appreciate I'm the minority time zone so I'll go with it, but didn't we used to draft on a weekend day 

    Most of the reason is US has Labor Day that day here which a lot of people have off, We can move it to a weekend, but I know, at least with my own life, I ma normally much busier during the weekend

    Just to confirm so I make sure I put it in my calendar correctly...
    Draft is 9/5 @ 4pm eastern/3pm central?

     

    App shows me 8pm GMT-5 so just wanted to make sure I don't mess up, haha.

    I'm in.

    Team Name = Broosters

    Draft Mon, Sept 5th @ 9pm Eastern

     

    Based on the email invite, notes in the league, and me3ssages posted, it seems it's on the 5th at 9pm Eastern, but confirmation would be great, since it seems this has been a fluid thing.

    I'm Dezzy's Daddy with the Pittman Icon. And I'm good for whatever time really for the draft. I work on a computer all day and I have a cell phone. 

     


    Correct I have it at 9pm EST, part for me I am CST, but if needed we can move it a little bit that day since I will be off, and do have a phone.

     

    Any suggestions?
