A Continuous Journey: 2024 NFL Offseason Thread

Schefter's word salads are truly incredible. You'd think that for all the money ESPN is paying some dipshit to walk alongside Schefter as he Tweets, they'd find some to make sure the Tweets are coherent.

 

If that's the case you don't need Sunday Ticket or ESPN+. And four of the channels listed are over the air. The others are NFL Network, Amazon, Peacock and Netflix.

Full disclosure, we have all four of those. NFL Network comes with YouTube TV (which is also where we get the OTA channels). And we get Peacock free as a result of something else we signed up for (though I can't remember exactly what that is).

 

Not everyone has the same viewing habits. Having a night of the week or a window where there is only one game or a special day with only streaming games on will lead to a certain subset of viewers to get that service. Even more so with a playoff game.

 

Chiefs at Steelers on Christmas Day ... on Netflix.

 

Do I hear cheers coming from the NBA offices?

 

Offseason Hard Knocks with the Giants? Interesting. For all the coverage the NFL gets, what happens between the end of the season and the start of summer training camp is still underreported. Teams get better or worse during that time - and outside of organized pressers, or post mini-camp huddles with footage of qbs tossing balls in shorts - we don't really see how it happens.

 

How many teams had to turn down Hard Knocks before the Giants were asked? They are going to be terrible.

 

Three bye weeks?

Not as good as last year's anime spectacular, but still pretty good. The Chargers videos are maybe the best part of schedule release day.
Browns segment was the best. As someone who still names his fantasy team "Factory of Sadness" I loved that reference, as well as the "We're not Detroit!" sign.
It's great that they're not letting go of the Chiefsaholic saga.
