Remember trying to play it at like 6 years old with my friend whose brother had it and we were so fricking lost :lol: But Godamnit if we didn’t keep just plugging away and finally start randomly figuring out shite.

There was such a sense of wonder about the layers of that game.

Love will get about the same average per year and cost the number 8 pick.

You’re also getting the absolute BEST and most explosive years of his career. That corresponds with the rookie window of your hopefully franchise qb and in theory you could get proven players at other spots who have much longer shelf lives than RBs.

It kinda goes both ways. I’d never want to pay mid to late 20s RBs anything near 8 figures

I live here. It’s DEFINITELY dinky and very dated. But that’s kinda what makes it nice, it’s NEVER crowded. It’s miserable to fly out of Fort Lauderdale or Miami.

I just hope no psychos try to bomb it now. :lol:

Pushing domestic women's soccer (as a $ generating fixture outside of quadrennial global tournaments) is the poster-child for delusional progressives indoctrinated by feminist dogma

Is it? Or is it just that they can get it for dirt cheap and because of that the ROI is better comparatively to SNB.

My house watches way more women’s soccer than baseball due to my daughter being a high level player and nobody liking baseball. I know that’s the exception but there are also a lot of girls who follow the stars of the national team. If they’re keeping exposure low and only putting the Trinity Rodman’s of the world on I’d imagine it’ll outperform whatever pittance they’re paying for it.

If they’re paying out the arse for SNB and comparatively it’s not crushing it then seems like a cost cutting move more than anything.

Is this just a situation where the cost to acquire/ keep SNB wasn’t worth the ratings it brought in?

I had it on Xbox. For the last few updates the commentary has just been completely gone from matches. Never change EA.

This is what I keep thinking because if for no other reason than people will get very bored at some point. Then I also think that there will be huge segments of the population willing to just sit on their device and collect UBI all day.

About a month ago I decided to upgrade and get a new OLED smart TV. The picture is fantastic, and it has all the apps built in using Google Home. So i figured why not consolidate and use the TV apps over the Apple box These built in things are dog shite. Slow, laggy, buffering issues and youtube tv crashed twice in the first week. I can see now why so many people get frustrated and fed up watching games over the apps, since I'm guessing these days most people have smart TV's with the awful built in apps

The external box has always been exponentially more reliable than the built in shite for me.
