I’m a little tired of football lagging behind other Tennessee mens sports. When is Danny white gonna fix this?

Atlanta Falcons potentially could acquire Aaron Rodgers per today's Knoxville News Sentinel.

I think that would be a great pickup.

Thoughts from the group?

Would the Falcons be an overall better franchise today had they never traded Brett Favre to the Packers. Would they have a Super Bowl win? Favre, Andre Rison & Jamal Anderson would have made pretty good offense under June Jones in the mid 90's.

I don't have a good option for cable, so it's neither here nor there for me, but streaming has definitely not advanced the way it should have and they are basically morphing into online cable companies forcing a bunch of crappy channels nobody wants. I still think there's a cost savings for most people, but at some point it's not worth jumping through the hoops. If they ran cable to my house tomorrow, I'd probably switch if the price was anywhere in the ballpark just for the convenience.

I thought about it seriously only several occasions but it's just not worth it. Needing 5 different accounts was a huge drawback, and then every stream for live sports being 30 seconds behind would drive me insane. I know there's still a delay with cable but I can scroll through twitter while watching a game on TV and not know what happens ahead of time.
On a side not though TV being behind sports books drive me crazy, live betting is still 10 seconds behind any book.

"They" still don't even have streaming figured out from a purely technical perspective either, IMO. There are still way too many random freezes/cut outs, gets blurry, have to randomly re-enter credentials for no reason, etc. Cable is just easier.

So far, it's been a total bill of goods and not what people hoped for.

A lot of it is retraining yourself a little bit to watch TV via apps instead of the instant changing of a channel. That part isn’t really a big deal unless you’rea chronic channel changer or something.

The delay is definitely an issue for sports if you’re anywhere near a device

I can't remember the last time I had a problem with YTTV. I've yet to have to re-enter my credentials either (plus you can just save them. I know, so hard).

Most of that is on the ISP and not the streamers, although some apps (like Ballys) do truly suck. It’s all part of the experience though, and you’re right, they should have this figured out a little better by now.

Yeah… YTTV is extremely reliable. It’s apps like Ballysports, ESPN+ etc that drive you crazy sometimes.

I hate the WatchESPN app because of that, it stops every 2 minutes it seems.
