Fox got Brady -- (link) - hollywood big shot Feb 6, 12:07 12
- He signed that up before last season. And he's getting paid more than he did to play quarterback. -- nm - pmb Feb 6, 12:14 9
  - I wonder how long they would keep paying him if he is bad at it? like is it possible he can be Romo good (or better) at it? -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 6, 12:15 8
    - Brady is pretty "technical" IMO so in the booth he should be as good as Romo at reading defenses and determining what the O is trying to / should do -- nm - rollo Feb 6, 12:26 7
      - technical doesnt mean he has personality though. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 6, 12:28 6
        
        i think most people would just tune in to hear if he was gonna shit talk about Belichick during a Pats game -- nm - hollywood big shot Feb 6, 12:33

Boy was "viciously attacked" by mountain lion, but "wasn't bitten."? Admittedly the first was an earlier headline. -- (link) - Meg Feb 6, 11:37 5
- Domestic cat (10 lbs?) pounces on me and goes for it with claws, I'm not happy. Mountain lion (150 lbs, up to 200 lb) does the same to me - JD Feb 6, 11:43 3
  - I guess all cats are likely to 'play' with their prey before eating. I wondered about the DNA test, as if they weren't entirely convinced of the story -- nm - Meg Feb 6, 11:53 1
    - Although I know they do test to be able to identify the cat if they capture it. Guess the piece is poorly written. -- nm - Meg Feb 6, 11:55
  - ... you *are* happy. -- nm - logical conclusion Feb 6, 11:44
- Well, the mountain lions dedicated 3 full pages in their burn book to the boy. Tell me that isn't vicious -- nm - rollo Feb 6, 11:40

  - I get the physical media argument about music but the portability and access and discovery that's come out of streaming for me is beyond compare - Reagen Feb 6, 11:59 2
    - should add, i don't buy a lot of CDs anymore either. either "listen" on YouTube or mixcloud/soundcloud online - hollywood big shot Feb 6, 12:01 1
      - I went to Tidal because of many of the problems people have with Spotify. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 12:03
- Did people stop? -- nm - sycor Feb 6, 11:41 3
  - Not entirely and I don't think they ever will but it seems to me that it's not nearly as popular as it was - JD Feb 6, 11:50 2
    - For me it's less about cost and more about access - Reagen Feb 6, 11:52 1
      - Yep this exactly. -- nm - sycor Feb 6, 12:15
- I want something that will give me live TV at reasonable cost. -- nm - Meg Feb 6, 11:38

- solve an elaborate murder mystery. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 11:35
Streaming: I like how Providers raced to build subscribers and content libraries at low monthly rates. Now higher rates & less content -- nm - budice Feb 6, 11:03 19
- Eh, give it a few years. The studio streaming will follow the HBO plan and sell off their properties to someone else and netflix 2.0 will be born. - sycor Feb 6, 11:22 1
  - How much money do you think Tubi has? - the wrong element Feb 6, 12:38
- You couldn’t consume all of the content anyway. Hence the SNL sketch. -- nm - Qale Feb 6, 11:20 5
  - Heh. My latest viewing is on something called Midnight Pulp where I'm watching 70-80's Italian nunsplotation films and the Bubblegum Crisis related - JD Feb 6, 11:26
  - I confess to never having heard of the Netflix show they mentioned. - Mony Baroney Feb 6, 11:25

    - from a consumer standpoint, the delivery model is amazing - Reagen Feb 6, 11:26
    - and before that Neflix did a pretty thorough job of doing away with the physical media rental market -- nm - JD Feb 6, 11:14 5
      - DVD was already dying as a format independent of Netflix killing Blockbuster though -- nm - hollywood big shot Feb 6, 11:18 4
        
        Huh. My memories are suspect at best but I remember having a Netflix 3 disc account and still making weekly trips to the former LD store, turned DVD - JD Feb 6, 11:21 3
        
        one of the main reasons the WGA struck the studios in 2007 to get coverage for online/digital media was it was already apparent that DVD was not long - hollywood big shot Feb 6, 11:24 1
        
        *nod* Maybe I was an early adopter of Netflix as I remember them well ahead of that - JD Feb 6, 11:29
        
        I still get discs from Netflix. -- nm - sycor Feb 6, 11:23

    - centralia is in PA, nearish here. (it's very boring.) -- nm - judge indianapolis jones Feb 6, 11:07 8

        yeah - judge indianapolis jones Feb 6, 11:16 1
        
        you could be one of the five! -- nm - hollywood big shot Feb 6, 11:21

      - Problem is much easier than you all are letting on. In those cases, just activate ChatGPT's "I Speak Jive" setting -- nm - prayformojo Feb 6, 11:08
