Day 3 - ABC Coverage

[Stewy]

So on day 3 ESPN moved their A team (Kiper and Scheffter) to ABC. I thought, cool, new perspectives. However, I now have it muted because Mel Kiper is insufferable. He's loud, a bully, repeats himself over and over. I remember now why I preferred Mayock. They should have kept Mayock and fired Kiper.

That is all.

Mike Mayock worked for NFL Network. He quit when he got the General Manager job for the Raiders and then almost ran the franchise into the ground. Which says alot about efen thr best Draft Analysts lol

I don't do the ESPN or ABC coverage, I prefer the calm and mellow delivery of the team on NFLN.

That's a shame. We cut the cable on the monopolizing major communication companies a few years back. We get our home internet via T-Mobile and subscribe to Youtube TV for our streaming. We pay about $120/mo combined for internet and streaming, and we have an upgraded package.

Brag much jeesh. I'm paying almost $300 a month for internet and cable. Although I think Starlink did drop in price recently it was $120 now it's $80.

Not bragging, just spreading the word so that others might be able to save a few bucks, as well. The T-Mobile home internet operates off cell tower signal, we have clear view of a tower about 2,000 feet away. For $45/mo it's the best deal I've ever come across. I was worried that we'd bog it down when family comes around for holidays, but we've had as many as 3 TVs streaming simultaneously and about a dozen people able to use their phones. If it's available in your area, give it a look.

Just messing with ya lol.


I still have DirectTV for now which is the main source of the cost because I couldn't stream live television with my old internet provider Frontier. Because Sunday Ticket is on YouTube TV now I made the switch to Starlink which while not amazing is ALOT better for my area. I need to figure out the cheapest TV plan and do away with Cable.

If you have good cell signal at your home, T-Mobile might be an option. $45/mo is tough to beat.

I thought day three coverage was pretty bad on NFLN and ESPN. It was much better on youtube PFF and Bleacher report I think it was. You could rewind the live stream and actually see coverage on our picks better than anything on cable.

Thanks for sharing that info. As a 56 y/o guy that lives on 20 acres to take care of, works 45-50 at a day job, and dedicates about 20 hours/week to a hobby sport interest, I just don't have the time on Saturday to sit through the entire day 3 selections. Next year I'll definitely investigate one of those offerings.

Wow, we complain that we're paying $117.00 ***CAD*** a month for both and Canada has faster speeds than the US.

That's robbery.

Kiper had a break down over Shedeur Sanders falling so far and how he knew about QB's and NFL teams don't...

It was pretty sad coming from a guy who is wrong all the damn time lol

Agreed, I can't tolerate listening to him. Some talking heads get finer with age, he's not one of those guys.
