Antennas?  What are you talking about?   If you live in California or Colorado, and you have a cable subscription, or FIOS, the Giants will not be broadcasted on Fox or NBC, as the NFL agreement limits broadcast to the NY Market.  Thus, the only way you could watch our Giants  was via DTV subscription, which cost $299 for the package and mandatory 2-yr/$115 month subscription.  For a 2-year period, it cost $3,360; today, YouTube NFL package cost $299, plus $75 month for 6 months.  YouTube allows you to suspend your subscription at any time.  So, the latter cost $2,400 for the same timeframe. Steaming apertures have reduced the cost for users outside the NY market.

If the NFL eliminated their deals with legacy networks  (e.g. Fox, CBS, and NBC), and went to a 100% streaming construct with Amazon, Disney, Peacock and Hulu, your total monthly cost is $45/mo, which is more than half the price of your FIOS TV package.  You only have the latter as an aperture to watch Fox, NBC and CBS, which represents the real expense.  Unfortunately, we're stuck with the legacy Networks as they completely understand live sports are preventing their utter collapse; hence, why their spending billions for NFL, Olympics, etc rights.  However, eventually, as Gen Zs start to make up a larger portion of the premium disposable income bracket, legacy networks will start to fade as the younger generation no longer consumes their entertainment like most of us here.

Corbin, Singletary, and Gray are all 1 cut backs.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on March 27, 2024, 07:09:16 PMI could see that too. But I'd also say you're going to have a substantial contingent of disappointed fans at the end of April no matter what we do in the draft. We have way more holes than we can possibly plug up with quality players.

Yes but we got a good proven pass rusher for that 2nd.  Solved one need.

One of the few changes to the game in the last 25 years I am actually excited for. As soon as I saw the XFL's kickoff rules in 2020 I said the NFL needed to adopt them too.

No, but that's beside the point. We've tried o-line first, QB second (or not at all) for several years now hoping DJ could hack it. He can't. I really don't need to spell out the definition of insanity here, do I?

Time to try it the other way around. Real quarterback on Day 1, offensive line afterwards.

Quote from: LennG on March 27, 2024, 08:24:08 PMMy son was brought up as a Modern Orthodox Jew in that he kept all KOsher laws, he kept the Sabbath, and everything else that is associated with his religion.
So what does he do, goes out and marries the first shiska ( Jewish word for a non-Jewish female). To say my wife wasn't happy is putting it mildly. So almost 15 years and 4 grandchildren letter, things have changed dramatically. We all make concessions and attitudes change. Would we still wish he would have married in his faith, yes, but it is what it is and we accepted that. What choice did we have, sever all relationships? Not a chance.
Technically, because the mother isn't of Jewish faith, none of the children are considered Jewish either. We still love them all though.  :yes:  :yes:  :yes:  :yes:  :yes:  :yes:
He knew in his heart that Doris would accept her and them or he would have made other choices. Other men and women faced with that situation or of an  interracial relationship may have either broken it off or become estranged. Ultimately love prevailed.

He o-line needs to figure it out. There's no way that this team dumps more resources into this line in rounds 1/2. Maybe you see something in round 3 but...

Since its inception in 1985-86, only 8 winners of the Presidents Trophy have gone on to win the Cup, the last being the 2012-13 Blackhawks.  I for one would not be upset if NYR didn't it this year.  I also avoid walking under ladders, stepping on cracks in the sidewalk and all black cats 🐈�⬛

My preference is a #1 WR with the first pick. After that I'll leave to JS and Dabs.

I agree with Valentine, Lenn. I don't think Penix will be there and Bo Nix is their best shot by drafting up from the Second Round. I also don't see the compatibility with Penix. But I like the rest of the draft. If they go WR at six, they will likely be picking Pratt and I'm not completely against that. It's worth a mid second round gamble.
