NFL 2023

I admit that I didn't know this when I signed up:

NFL 'Sunday Ticket' expected to have major delays on YouTube TV

The NFL sold the "Sunday Ticket" satellite package to YouTube last year, and subscribers should be ready for action coming to their screens after it happens on traditional TV.

As thousands of football fans fill stadiums across America to see the first Sunday of NFL action, millions more will watch at home and at bars — as much as one minute later.

For nearly three decades, football's most dedicated fans subscribed to the "Sunday Ticket" satellite package to tune into games not shown on traditional TV via national broadcast or local affiliates.

But since the NFL sold rights to the package to YouTube for $2 billion annually at the end of last year, those fanatics will now have to stream out-of-market games, which can come with multi-second delays.

That’s because images and sounds carried digitally routinely take more time to reach computer screens compared to those delivered nearly instantly by cable or satellite.

Jed Corenthal, chief marketing officer of Chicago-based steaming technology firm Phenix, predicts that some streaming customers could experience up to a minute of delay.

“I expect people will have some issues,” he said. “There’s going to be some unhappy people because of the latency. I’m confident in that statement, unfortunately.”

For example, fans watching the Super Bowl earlier this year on one of six leading digital providers saw the big plays between 23 seconds and 76 seconds after spectators in the stands did, according to an annual study done by Phenix of the lag between real-time action of the NFL title game versus streaming.

Fuck the Bears!

[jhawks99]

They're doing a fine job of fucking themselves

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

They're doing a fine job of fucking themselves

From their GM, to their entire coaching staff, to their incompetent players, all the way down to their water boy.

[jhawks99]

Sorry buddy

Love conquers all, my man. Well, mostly the Bears.

[jhawks99]

Could be worse, Gutter. You could be a Giants fan.

Probably worse being a Bears fan. I could go on and on saying the Bears were supposed to be much improved. They're not.

Related note......
Last two QBs drafted by the Bears in the FIRST round who were supposed to be saviors.
Mitch Trubisky.
Justin Fields.
Yesterday the guy who was selected by the 49ers with the LAST pick in the SEVENTH round of the 2022 Draft got himself and his team a W and looked really good doing it.

[pdub]

Chicago should just suck for the no. 1 draft pick if they can't beat a Green Bay team without Rodgers ( gone ) and Christian Watson ( hurt ).

If the response will be something something KC loosing to Detroit something something i'll raise you Kelce and a promise that the Chiefs will more than right the ship.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

The Bears sucked for the #1 pick and they traded it away for a guy who had the ball thrown to him a grand total of 2 times yesterday. The Bears are beyond repair - for the foreseeable future. They are JUNK and will continue to be JUNK with the current coaching staff doing them no favors whatsoever.

[pdub]

Well, they also got four other picks ( two Day 1's, two Day 2's ) with it too.
I think a wise move since who knows how Bryce Young will fare compared to Fields.
Get the no. 1 overall pick and trade it again.

[jhawks99]

Rodgers down

[pdub]

And out.
Backup Wilson in.

[jhawks99]

1st sack too. May be time to retire.

[Shirley]

I'm rooting for both teams to lose.

[pdub]

I don’t care for Rodgers but I hope it’s a high ankle and not Achilles.

Achilles injuries are awful.
