I think that is correct. If you have a smart tv it may be uploaded on it already. We used a Roku.

I'm gonna go ahead and tell you all something that is going to happen today.....

Larry is about to come back with a grim reaper special and make you forget he gave it some thought with his recent posts.

Well he expanded on his previous post saying that the boosters had different opinions last time on how to fix football. He said that's not the case this time. They are on a united front toward one goal.

I did it for a while and streamed mostly live sports and Netflix via Roku. I also purchased Sling TV.

It worked fine most days. But one really irritating thing is, at least for me, high traffic games did not stream at the same speed they did on normal days. For example: I had no issue using Sling to watch regular season NBA games. But as soon as the playoffs hit, every game moved at a snail's pace and buffered constantly.

I had the highest internet package available through Comcast so I don't believe the issue was on my end. It was really irritating/embarrassing to have a bunch of people over to the house to for the NBA finals then not be able to watch it.

In addition to that problem, it really wasn't as cost efficient as it seems up front. For internet alone I paid $80. Another $30 for Sling. Then add Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc. (which I keep anyway but was more dependent on for content)

The best way to play the game is to switch cable/internet providers each time the promotional pricing period expires. I was paying over $150 a month "cutting the cord" but instead switched to AT&T internet with DirecTV, get more content and not dependent on streaming quality, and only pay $105 a month (+taxes and fees). I know after two years the prices will surge, at which point I will likely switch back to Comcast or to DISH just to get a more competitive price via their promotional pricing.

I have PlayStation Vue and stream it through an Apple TV in one room and a Roku in the other. The Roku is your issue with the buffering/slow load time, not to mention the primitive user platform. I have constant issues with the Roku being delayed/behind from the same game streaming well on the Apple TV.

If anyone is looking at going this route the investment into Apple TV is more than worthwhile. The usability and streamlined functions are really no comparison.

Also, we found that getting AT&T's entry level package of 15 channels and internet was cheaper than internet alone. We have AT&T, PlayStation Vue, Netflix and HBO Go for $120/mo.

Right. I saw that and that was an awesome thing to hear.

I'm just saying he's been a little too positive. He's about to come back and pee in some cheerios. Brace yourself.

Ainge says a lot of stuff. The only parts I actually listen to that are valuable are related to actual football techniques, schemes, plays, etc. I can hear Cut, Fulmer and the NFL experience speaking then. Forget the rest, not worth the effort of listening.

I find this hard to believe. Our boosters would argue with each other about if water was wet.

I just have problems believing it’s mutual. If a potential coach wants to be here and we want them then I don’t really see a way they can’t figure it out. I would say if anything it’s more 10% Gruden and 90% us.

I kinda feel the same way. All of the supposed back and forth, we offered, wasn't enough, we offered more and he still isn't sure. Just doesn't seem like he wants to coach here to me, or it would already be done. Hope I'm wrong.

One thing that gives me hope is this seems similar to what alabubba went through to get saban.

Yea you need a streaming device like a Roku to get Sling on each TV or some TVs may come compatible now I don't know.

It's not really anything different than what he has said the whole time this round...TN wants him and doing everything possible but he doesn't trust Gruden will take it at end of day. If he trusted gruden he would have more than 5% confidence imo

Either ainge knows something or there’s been too much smoke in the last few days and he’s been told to put a damper on it.

If it’s true the third time Gruden said yes, or even maybe... we’re still on this ice as far as closing goes. Don’t need everyone everywhere saying “done deal” all the time.
