Kicking The Tires On A New TV...Advice Needed

[pk500]

You sure about that? Eight different teams have won the World Series since 2015. Seven different teams have won the Super Bowl since 2015.

I was defending our Bills and you want to go there. Seven different teams have won the Stanley Cup as well since 2015, who cares?

I can name probably 20 teams in MLB who won't sniff the playoffs, can we say the same with the NFL and NHL?

Probably not, considering 16 teams make the Stanley Cup Playoffs, 14 make the NFL playoffs and 12 make the MLB playoffs.

Yeah, I NEVER count the Chiefs out.

This is going to be a very interesting year for the Cardinals, I'm still wondering what the mlb roster will look like this season.

Will be a fun team to manage in MLB TS 26.

what happened to the cards? they use to be one of the best organizations in baseball. i've heard this current regime or last one is corrupt and brought the entire franchise down. last year the stadium was empty whenever i turned their games on. fans use to pack cards park all the time regardless of where they were in the standings.

At one time (10 years ago now), the Cardinals had one of the best farm systems. Excellent instructors, great talent evaluators, etc. Other teams copied what they did, but in addition, they launched aggressively in to the analytics side of the game. In addition, they hired a tremendous amount of more instructors at every level. The Cardinals became complacent and for whatever reason, refused to change. The last several years, it showed in their player development and talent. Fortunately, they've made some big strides in the last couple of seasons. It's going to take some time, but they will gradually become more competitive, but likely not through free agency.

This and ownership hasn't been the same since DeWitt Jr took over imho. I do think they are on the right path now and it looks as if the Blues are going to follow suit.

The bullshit spews from your claim. Anyone with an OTA digital antenna could get their local NBC affiliate broadcast of the Super Bowl if in range.

no the bullshit spews from your ignorant ass. I live sourrunded by hills. I can't get OTA mr know it all josh allen choker lol

No, actually, dude, you stated as a fact that people have to pay to see the Super Bowl if they're a cable cutter. When facts are that YOU do and not everyone else does.

Breaking news: Your situation is not always the world's.

Why is it though that networks do not stream events on their apps for free that is already free on OTA antenna? You would think that the advertisers would want as many eyeballs as possible, including the people that have internet access but are outside of OTA range. I've always found that odd.

I didn’t look back too far in this thread but YouTube TV is about to roll out tiers which will lower the cost for some. There is the normal base tier ($82.99). The Sports tier which obviously has all the sports channels + others. There is the Entertainment tier. I think there is another also. I think the Sports tier is like $12 less. I’ll post a link.

Here is a link explaining the tiers. Plus ESPN Unlimited will be free. I don’t think that will be until the fall. I think the monthly price of ESPN Unlimited is like $29/month

$19 less. Plus, ESPN Unlimited will be rolled into the service by fall, including ESPN+. That will save me another $12, so I'll be $31 to the green compared to what I pay now.

I'm jumping to the sports tier as soon as it's available.

They are supposedly rolling out this week but I checked my account and it’s not there yet.
And Paul, it’s ESPN Unlimited which is a much more robust version of ESPN+

[Lancer]

i cancelled youtube tv because it was too expensive but I did like service.

I didnt know they were coming out with tiers. I will check it out. I don't care about ESPN but am interested what other sports they'll include.

MLB tv is being changed too. they came out with some new sub pricing since they've teamed up with ESPN.

The only way to sub now is through ESPN. I don't want anything to do with ESPN. It sucks if there is no other way to get the mlb subscription.

I hope t mobile still has the free mlb.tv offer this year.

Yessir. Unlimited basically combines all the ESPN channels I get with YouTube TV and ESPN+, to which I also subscribe. Killer package.

The site below shows you the exact channels you get on each tier.
