Big Blue Huddle

I only do 4 or 5 of those. One thing I have never done is the air b&b thing. If it's just my wife and I then I'll book a hotel. In fact we are flying to Charleston SC today and staying in a hotel for a week. I might try a vacation rental if the whole family was going.

The schedule for a season in The Big3 league is 10 games. They play on Saturdays.  Each week the games are played in a different city. A couple of years ago they paid the players 10k a game so a player could earn 100k for the season.

Ice Cube offered Caitlin Clark 5 million to play a 10 game season.

I have 2 firesticks. I have 3 roku devices. These devices are not anything like a superbox. With those devices you download the apps you wish to use. Hulu Netflix etc. The superbox has no download function. If I want to watch live TV or movies there is no recording function no pausing option no rewind option. I have no ability to add any station or remove any station. I bought it to watch the local NY City CBS FOX NBC stations so I can watch the Giants games when the Maine stations show some other team. So I'm not going to worry about a police officer knocking on my door. But I appreciate your concern about me going to prison. And to show I'm not a total thief, I still pay for Hulu, Netflix, and Frndly every month even though I have rarely used them. I  still use 1 Roku device on my TV in my bedroom but the others are sitting in a drawer somewhere and if you would like one I'll be more than send you one free of charge.  I preferred the Roku.

When I saw your post about Doc Martin I thought I would see if it was available on  the superbox and wallah there it was. I find the video on demand function is awesome. I do search for things that it won't find but that is very rare.

Quote from: Sem on March 28, 2024, 12:28:33 PMExcellent show. I've seen everything except the final season. Waiting for that one to hit PBS or a free streaming option.

Or buy the Superbox and watch all 10 seasons. 😄😄😄

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

Bill

Ice cube has offered to pay her 5 million to play 10 games. The average Big3 player gets 100k to play 10.

Bill

At the owners meeting Dabs said they are still discussing if he will be calling the plays. He said he's done some research and said about 20 head coaches call plays. He made his name on being the play caller in Buffalo. Curious how Kafka feels about it.

Bill

Lenn. How close are you to the path of totality?

The superbox4 is a box that connects to an hdmi port on my TV and gives me around 1200 live TV stations and a video on demand feature for movies and TV shows. I bought it on Amazon for around 300 bucks but now you can get a superbox4 for 222 on Amazon. The drop in price is because now there is a superbox5 but the 4 does all I need.

This is a one time purchase. No monthly fees or any other fees.

I bought it because Kingm26 (Matt) told me about it when people were asking how to get Giants game if they aren't broadcasting in my area. I thought I would pay 300 if I could get the Giants. This box allows me to do that. You can watch any NFL game live you want to see. Even the games that are broadcast on Amazon or peacock are available on the box.

You can also get several HBOs SHOWTIME Cinemax Starz etc.

I use the video on demand feature most of the time. I can get most of the current movies and TV series and almost any movies or series I want to watch I can find. Any show you get on Netflix or Apple I can get on the box.

This is not the perfect solution but is as close as possible. Once in awhile a station my be down for maintenance but if you ask me if I would recommend this box I would say ABSOLUTELY 100%  I LOVE IT.

I still have Hulu and Netflix but only because Louise want to keep them because she is comfortable using them so we keep those services for her but if I was alone the superbox4 would be all I would use.

And thanks to you, I too use Superbox.

Just watched Road House with Jake Gyllenhaal. I enjoyed it. I'm guessing most people will compare it to the Patrick Swayze one and can make several comparisons with the two. Basically the same story line but enough differences to hold your attention.

I'm finding myself liking Jake Gyllenhaal more and more.

Bill

The NFL has always had a policy that the two teams local stations are allowed to broadcast the games. So if you are in Philadelphia or in the other team's city, the game will be broadcast on those 2 local NBC stations.

This is basically the kickoff rule that was used in one of the spring leagues last year. I thought it was a pretty good way to do the kickoff. Far more kicks will be returned instead of the current fair catch or into the end zone take it out to the 25. And it eliminates the violent collisions that occur when players get to run for 30 or 40 yards before blocking someone. I would prefer this new rule as opposed to eliminating the kickoff altogether in the name of safety.
