They're not exciting but IMO it's still not worth paying elite guys $15M+.

These two guys are mid at best but you're still watching the game because of who is playing. Which has always been the point I've made when questioning why networks feel compelled to hand analysts absurd contracts.
Didn't ask for the dissertation, but sure. :lol

Regarding of $15M or $15,000, just don't be annoying, mmmmkay Olsen/Burkhardt. Where's my DCC Podcast live gameday edition?

There is no salary cap for analysts.
I know. I'm just of the opinion that it's unnecessary to hand out huge contracts to PxP/color analysts when the commentators are not the ones driving ratings. It's the matchup.

Chiefs vs Cowboys will put up large numbers regardless of who is calling the game.

You opened the door. I stepped on the soap box.

So my cheap ass still doesn’t want to pay for cable so I purchased an indoor antenna for $55. Only local channel I can get is ABC. No Fox, CBS, or NBC. It was rated 4 out of 5 stars on Amazon so I’m disappointed. Probably gonna send it back.
Most antennas you buy at the store are total garbage. For about 10 bucks of material from a hardware store you can make something a lot better. Might have to search around hard because so many links are commercial now, but you can find them. PM me if you need to.

try another room
I watch sports in my room above the garage. Don’t really want to try another room.

Last week, the wife and I spent an hour trying to mirror my iPad to the Tv but had no luck. I’ll justkeep watching local games on my phone.

Last year, I was mooching my mother-in-law’s cable credentials to sign on to the Fox Sports app on my Roku TV but it’s not working this year. Dunno if she changed her plan or if the app got smart and realized what I as trying to do.

As an aside, I think Al Michaels and Tony Romo would be epic.

If you were trying to mirror/cast a live game from the NFL app to your TV the reason it wouldn't work is because those greedy SOBs from the NFL had that function blocked. They only want you to watch the mobile stuff on your mobile device.

Do you have windows in that room above the garage? I had to move mine closer to the window and was immediately able to pick up more channels.

Even though they have the relatively same colors and helmet design as the 70s/80s, I associate the Rams more with St Louis than Los Angeles.

Hurts would be in a world of hurt (pun intended) if he didn't have the athleticism that he has.

Everything today has been him holding the ball forever then either finding someone on a scramble drill or taking off and running himself.
