Peacock becomes home of first-ever exclusive live streamed NFL playoff game

[ajcardfan]

I thought this a couple years ago when the streaming stuff was relatively new. Now, with the prices rising for these subscriptions and the sheer amount of subscriptions needed.... Cable may benefit. Then again, I am one of those who still has Cox and will forever.

If it makes financial sense for me to return to cable I will. The house is still wired.

But, I had it with Cox, cut the cord, and never looked back. I spend a little over $100 on three streaming services, others, like Netflix and Amazon, we have for free because my wife does Amazon Prime. If we didn't have the Polish Channels package, it would be a little over $70. Sling offered a free antenna, and I get local channels just fine.

A few months ago I dropped Cox Wifi and changed to T-Mobile. Everybody was saying it will suck, but it hasn't sucked. It is better so far. There hasn't been a single time I have had to reboot the router or watch buffering on the TV screen. Which were regular events with Cox.

That said, I am not subscribing to Peacock for an NFL playoff game. If it involves the Cardinals, I will sign up for the free trial, watch it, and cancel it.

In the prem, Fulham, Since the McBride/Dempsey days. Dortmund is my club, but for the most part I like following the Americans in Europe. Leeds was fun to watch for a little bit this year until Adams went down for the year.

Mad respect for the reasoning behind your Fulham support. Makes perfect sense. I had already started liking Newcastle playing FIFA '98, so my affiliation was set.

Meh I find soccer across the board boring. You could start most games, take a two hour nap, wake up and ask your buddy what happened and he'd say they kicked the ball back and forth with three almost goals, and you'd miss nothing.

I love seeing the passion guys have in the world cup. To me it is Olympic style national pride

For me, I think I'm really disconnected from it since the US team isn't filled with the "best of the best" because our other sports siphon so much athletic talent. Imagine what Michael Jordan or Barry Sanders could have done if they had devoted themselves to soccer...

We have the ladies. They are definitely the best of the best and it shows.

That dynamic is shifting and fast.

The American development system will eventually work against them as more European women come up through their academies and into their professional teams

Things are going to get incredibly competitive
