Is anyone even going to bother with

[Darkwind]

The Christmas NFL lineup for today?

The only real game of consequence is the Lions game, and it's likely that if they lose, they are all the way out.

The Broncos game the ponies have to win to have a shot at the first-round bye, but they're a lock in the playoffs regardless.

I'm not sure I'm going to bother. May just to watch the Bois get their asses handed to them by the Commanders, but really. Pretty boring Christmas for the NFL this year.

 

[pknopp]

I'll watch.

 

[XponentialChaos]

Shitty games.

It’ll be decent background noise.

 

[pknopp]

I'll watch.

I didnt realize the games were on Netflix. I guess I won't watch.

 

[Oddball]

no

I agree with the one vocal Lions player. Christmas should be free of the NFL. Those guys have families as well, bad enough, we have games on Thanksgiving. Christmas is over the top.

Curious, I checked yesterday and I did not even see any games listed on my TV Guide. But my TV Guide works for crap. Are there even any games on regular TV today or do I need to bend over and spread my cheeks for the NFL and subscribe to a Netflix account too for the extra screwing?

Fortunately, I don't need football that bad to PAY to watch it on a holiday (or any other day). It is bad enough the massive volume of commercials they make you sit through.

I agree partly about games on major holidays, but it is nice when having 30 people over your house to have something for them to watch to keep them busy and entertained while food is still cooking. Besides, while I kind of feel for the players, considering that most of them are being paid MILLIONS of dollars PER GAME, I can't feel too sorry, they knew the deal going into pro ball.

If they are only making 1 million per game, that amounts to $277.00 PER SECOND game time, and many make a lot more. Play ball.

Frankly, that is OBSCENE considering what top scientists are paid who create life-saving vaccines, medical procedures, new discoveries and inventions.

For what NFL players are paid, they should be made to play football on Christmas and on their own birthday, in their underwear out in the freezing cold.

LOL, I keep myself amused by being a pain in the grand kids neck. "Maaaaam, tell Gramps to stop!" Priceless entertainment.

I have it on. On mute. I missed Matt Ryan's expertse. But then O miss most of them.

Browsner was the best rookie I saw in all NFL pre season. His first game stunk at SEA. I thought the receivers quit and sulking now that out of playoffs?

Heard Browsner was good 2nd half led them to victory at NY. I will look in for him

DET was one my favorites going in. But they look lousy, even offense stinks now? What happened?. Losing winnable games. They look done.

 

[leftwinger]

Netflix or Prine games make it hard to avoid commercials.

You cant remote out and get back.

So I mute it all. Read Twatter or here when nothing happening.

DaL looked pretty good nearly 500 yards gained. One 84 yd TD bomb. Even Pickens decided to play today.

It was a pretty good game. For two teams out of it. I glanced in quite a bit.

DEI Obama killed Netflix and now the Lifetime channel too. I'm running out of places to hide. PeeKKK should love it on Nutsack.

 

[leftwinger]

Whars' the gosh danged game?

Uh...im on Netflix. There is no NFL Vikings DET on? Betting sites say almost 1 quarter finished?

Huh? Did Obiden kill Netflix that much? WTH? Is it tape delayed to show 19,000 commercials?

We've got it on Netflix.

Huh? Im getting snoops halftime show?

Now I see two boxes NFL to choose. They got me at the end of DAL I remained there waiting like a fool reading here.

They switched load boxes? Wth? Thanks Obiden.

 

[Concerned American]

Huh? Im getting scoops halftime show?

It has commercials, the kids are complaining because Netflix is doing live TV with commercials.

 

[leftwinger]

I had to go to search. Then two NFL boxes popped up. One is DET end of first quarter.

The other was some halftime show with 10,000 commercials .

I'm sorry, but you mean Netflix is CHARGING you to sit through commercials that are already paying them as well?

That is where I draw the line. Television was created fully financed by commercials paid to the network. Your "expense" was in sitting through viewing them. And that was based on about 8 minutes per hour. Now we get far less good programming and even more commercial breaks each lasting typically almost 6 minutes at a time.

Commercials now dominate more than 50% of your time. Go click through the channels any time day or night, it does not matter--- odds are very good that most of the channels will be on a commercial break.

Count me out. NOTHING is worth that. I used to love the show 'The Orville' until they took it off Fox and put it on Hulu pay TV. Sorry, no. Have not ever seen it since.

The advantage to live TV is that I can set my DVR up to record the program, then play it back later, skipping over the commercials. When I watch football, I tape the game then start watching it about 30-45 minutes into the game, that way, by the time I catch up with live TV, the game is nearly over and I've sat through no commercials.

These streaming services are just screwing you.

I say, **** all these services, let them all fail through lack of subscription to show that consumers can only be pushed so far.

Lots of Commercials. Maybe the same as bad TV?

 

[leftwinger]

DET lives on "the edge". Geez.

They seem to waste so many downs? Everytime they hit a big pass, they run it up the middle gaining nothing? Everyone in the world knows what's coming! They play with 2 downs everyone else gets 3 downs and a punt.

Campbell calling plays? Their downfall started when he took it over? Am I wrong?

 

[toobfreak]

I get it now. First, these services buy up programming so you MUST go through THEM to watch it, then they charge you for the service, the right to access them. You still get all the commercials, you are just paying for their access to the programming and their streaming it.

I just looked up 'The Orville,' they are on season 4 now. Never mind that each "season" is a pathetic dozen episodes or so, in other words, about HALF a season. Seasons used to have about 25-30 episodes per season.

You can now buy The Orville on DVD. Fox Network will not release Orville on Blu Ray much less 4K. If you want to actually see Orville in high-def as intended (and really needed for a big budget spectacular sci-fi show on a big screen), you must PAY Hulu (or whatever streaming service owns it).

Screw that.

I saw this coming a decade ago and built up an archival HD system that I have on it stored something like 2000-2500 of the best movies, sitcoms, documentaries et al of all time, in HD of course. I can watch any of it I want commercial free.
