IMO, accusing someone of drunk driving with no evidence (witnesses to his drinking, test showing BAC,…) and attaching that to someone else drunk driving in another car is slightly different that betting that many people have driven fast, especially when not aimed at any specific individuals (and including myself), but whatevs.

Looks like the move from DirecTV to YouTube didn’t do much to improve NFL Sunday TIcket. Still no option to just follow a particular team.
YouTube has announced its pricing for NFL Sunday Ticket:
YouTube TV subscribers:
• $349/season ($249 if you purchase before June 6)
• $389 ($289 early) if you bundle with RedZone
Non-YouTube TV subscribers:
• $449/season ($349 early)
• $489 ($389 early) with RedZone
I had DTV NFLST for a couple of years. It’s expensive enough that I felt I had to watch a lot of football every Sunday in order to justify the price.
At the end of the season I realized I had wasted 17 consecutive Sundays doing nothing but watching football.
If you could buy it a week at a time, I might be interested.
But 4 months of sloth-hood is not something I want to sign up for.
I need to look into this more.
Can you have multiple screens?
I often sign up to get some random thing (sling, fubo) to get the redzone channel so i can have it going on a second screen while watching a game using sunday ticket. That ends up being like $79 a month for effectively just redzone.
The old directv Ticket only thing i had would only allow one screen, so it was either a watch a game or watch redzone, so i never bought redzone through that option.
Word is that they are “working” on such features. I believe they had this option during the NCAA tournament?
Might depend on whether you subscribe to YouTube TV, or something like that. I don’t really know, as I’ve never been a youtuber.
Welcome to America!!
I can never figure out what to do with the other 35 Sundays

You count weird.
I think he’s a Bears fan so the season is only 17 weeks long.

This.
Also, someone already said 17 Sundays, so I just went with that estimate, however flawed it might be.
How does NFLST help with the playoffs anyway? But yeah, they probably count as wasted Sundays as well as some Saturdays too.
So he only watches weeks when the Bears play? So on the bye week, he doesn’t watch any football?
As a Bears fan, can confirm the season is generally over well before 17 weeks.

I don’t understand why my count was off.
I was relating a story from the past. In the story the season was 16 games long with 1 bye week for each team which makes 17 Sundays, at that time.
I understand that currently, the season is 18 weeks because another game has been added.
The Bears season lasted until the last week in the 2022 season, because that was an important game to play and lose. With help from Lovie Smith, they secured the top draft pick, despite beating Houston head to head.
It wasn’t clear to me when this actually happened, so my bad. Did the playoffs not get covered by NFLST? Are you saying you only watched the Bears and no other games?
Falcons traded a 5th rounder to DET for former 3rd overall pick Okudah. A risk/reward pick for not a lot wagered for ATL.
ATL has a weird CB room at the moment with 12 CB’s on the roster. The only lock starter is Terrell. They have 3 other CB getting decent salaries: Okudah, Mike Hughes, and Heyward. Seems like Heyward could be cut given his age and coming off injury, but he’s at least solid if he’s healthy and he’s not that expensive at $7M to keep and $2M dead cap to cut.
I’m guessing ATL expects Okudah to start, but he’s cheap enough that they don’t have to count on it. I don’t know about having 2 of the DET main CB from last season as starters. DET pass defense wasn’t good last season despite decent pressure generated. They didn’t trade much for Okudah and Hughes is on a cheaper deal, but I don’t know about value shopping there. Would prefer ATL take one of the top CB prospects at 8, but I imagine that’s likely not the plan anymore.
Sunday ticket was the regular season only, as I recall. Every playoff game was shown on the major networks, so that was not part of the package.
I would basically watch 3 games every Sunday. A noon game, a 3pm game and the night game (Central time zone times). I just felt like such a slouch at the end of the night, and at the end of the season I felt like a mega-slouch. I felt like I paid for the damn thing, so I had to watch it.
The reality is that there are enough free NFL games to watch that I don’t need to be paying hundreds of dollars a season to watch an unhealthy additional number of games, just because “hey, my Fantasy league tight end is playing at 3:00 in Cleveland”.
So that’s the thing for me: Too much football is stupid and unhealthy.
Um, welcome to America??
I’m down to about 7 hours per season. Only watching one team when they are on locally, which is about 8 times a year (plus maybe playoffs). I keep getting roped in to watching the Super Bowl, so add another 4 hours. This past season I went to a FF viewing party and had to watch a game In Real Time (complete torture, but with friends so only half bad), though he did have the Red Zone so we got to watch a bunch of TDs. Whoopie.
Yeah, I know. Yeah, in reality I can be content with 40 to 60 hours of football per season spread out over 18 weeks. When that number got over 200 hours per season, I rightfully questioned WTF I was doing my wisdom of it all.
