This last paragraph is the key to it all. And you beat to it with respect to others’ challenge of why ESPN would pay more to take FSU and Clemson: It’s 100% about the matchups. And the eyes and $$ that follow. And it’s easy to understand: just run down the list of FSU vs any SEC against FSU...

Not a Braves fan? Or just don’t appreciate the stuffiness of metrics deciding opinions? ☺️ But, kidding aside, it’s a really active and informative fan site … between here and there it’s where I spend my online reading time. I highly recommend it to any Braves’ fan, or any person that dislikes...

Sorta .. more like fWAR, wRC+, xwOBA, xFIP, et al 😉

😬 Yikes. If you visit BatteryPower.com for some Braves’ talk and say these words you will literally be tar’d -and-feather’d, spat upon, kicked in the balls and forcibly made to walk the walk of shame. Don’t ever mention ERA, BA. et al as being meaningful stats.. or, don’t believe me, just for...

Yeah, I hear you Nd I understand the savings theory of subscriptions— this has been the argument for 15+ years against traditional cable. The reality is that for most this model isn’t cheaper — I do not believe most people are so singularly focused. And even in my own “downsizing” I find...

In another article posted in another thread, there is this: “While no price has been determined, a logical starting point could be $45 or $50 per month, according to a person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named because the discussions around the service have been private”

And whereas one might wish that such a venture might actually ease cost of programming (due to not competing against one another in agreements?) there is this within the article: “While no price has been determined, a logical starting point could be $45 or $50 per month, according to a person...

No doubt PCH is on my life’s bucket list 👍👍👍

Jaguar XKR on Shenandoah Skyline Drive .. what’s your best drive?

There’s nothing finer than a Jaguar XKR and a mini-Aussie. Prove me wrong. also.. bump thread

$90 a month! 😲Seriously? You’re paying that? On top of your Internet bill?? Seriously, the fallacy of not-cable is that it’s cheaper — but it’s only so if you’re paying for a few select services. Cut-the-cord has been an effective slogan (also: I hate Clark Howard). But your cable provider...

I’m being a bit facetious with this, but I believe “Tictoc Influencer” is the path you’re speaking of 😬

Oh, no. It is not entirely about money. Otherwise — per the chart and another post — we would see Arkansas and other like schools in the competitive small group. Brand name schools are exactly that. And kids are naturally drawn to them. And it’s also curious that some of these schools spend...

Hmmm, that’s sort of a vague, but interesting, perspective. What manner of change relative to US and Atlanta v Tech comes to mind?

Hey bro’ .. stick to the topic 🤨

Popeyes is running a BOGO+$1 on wings I have had two orders. They use regular Popeyes fried chicken wings and squirt sauce on them. One time there was so much sauce the wings were swimming. The other time the wings went for thirst. I found the sauce to be overly hot, even the mild sauce, and...

That’s RICH! 😁

Yeah probably so! And yet they took out uGA’s win streak and had Michigan on the ropes bigly last night! I suppose next year’s 12-team format (and your Pageant analogy is spot on for that!) will mitigate the uproar this year .. but the FSU affair is exhausting lol

I know.. but the assessment is that the FSU Team was not the same team without its best player. And it literally showed on the field in performance. And a 13-0 team is not objectively better than a 12-1 team, nor is the CFP the NFL model of teams with the best record get in. (I’m repeating...
