Peacock B/S

Except home games of course but then again it was a kind of special listening to Merle Harmon call 'em while keeping a score card on the kitchen table. Then after, if the Jets won, a little black and white TV to watch the 4p AFL game on Ch.4. With only 8 or 9 teams in the league you got to know them all very well. there was a wonderful part of this that current and future generations will never experience. After games on TV in B&W, you go to your first game (at Shea of course) and you see the green of the grass and jerseys and the red of the opponents and it's a relevation

This Peacock thing is awful and it feels like rich guys reaching in to your pocket for more cash (especially bad a month ahead of NAMM) but it is the future of all television

Never thought we would stop going to the ballparks, but we did. Now I am starting to think that have thought that I just won't watch anymore at all. Just might be getting there.

Money ruins EVERYTHING
My wife and son are adamant about boycotting Peacock. We'll watch a movie, which bothers me. I want to see the game. But they're more pissed off than me about charging for the game.

But here's how the folks at Peacock are complete scumbags. Yesterday, I saw that the flick Oppenheimer will stream on Peacock beginning on 2/16. Not a bad deal then if you get today's playoff game plus the film. But if you sign up today for the one month, you miss the 2/16 date. Nice, huh?

And who the fuck in this day and age names a network Peacock? Both "pee" and cock in one name. Genius.

The camel's nose is well into the tent. The NFL suits are probably already salivating over the dollars to be had by "peacocking"* the Super Bowl in 2025 or 2026.

This poor old country mouse retains the ability, early-learned, of visualizing a game presented on radio. I've already dusted it off and warmed it up.

Go flag-free, Gang Green!

I came close to ordering. But we held firm and did not subscribe. Sad that I missed the Swiftie Bunch surf-react in real time. lol


Taylor Swift braves frigid temps for Travis Kelce's playoff game​


MADE ME SICK. How about all the Little kids, Grandmothers & grandfather's & the rest of us peons that sit in the stands.....& were not taken by limo to a nice restaurant & five-star hotel later. She is an ugly flat chested boring entertainer IMO. Let her dance around her "Pin" pushing boyfriend at night but not in front of me for a single dollar.

This is what turns me against so many things nowadays.

Peacock paid $110 mm just for tonight. They are in 28 million homes. Assume at least 2 people will be watching in the same home (guests), they took a big gamble. May they falter.
I think it is an investment like G giving us the dishes to join....The more people that sign up the more customers they have...plus the name is out there. For me I watched my two favorite NHL teams play a good game the killer B's. The Bruins & Blues......so i won the night,

Yeah, too much huckstering by sports TV directors these days. Never linger on the field of play. They immediately go to fans posturing for the hand held camera in front of them, celebrities in their boxes, or to the HC. Drives me nuts.

But I will take umbrage at your comment that Swiftie is ugly. Dude, she grew up gorgeous.
