My biggest issue with streaming sports and not having cable is recording, 2 years of only having Starlink and various streaming services I never found a satisfactory method of recording and rewatching anything. When Valley Fiber hooked us up went full TV package again, dropped some streaming and yes, it is more $$ but the house is happier. 
 

If I had found an IPTV service that was simple and easy for others, maybe that would work for us but I got frustrated with the free services I tried and constantly needed to update with new codes.

I’ve heard Beta might be a viable option.

Want to chat about a F’ing bargain? Get yourself a dot matrix for all your printing needs, but careful with the paper it comes with, it can cut fingers clean off.

I could probably quite happily cancell Netflix if it didn't keep the kids quiet... but yeah 

Netflix has the least must watch content, but the most I just want to find something to watch content. 

Prime keeps dropping in quality, but the wife orders **** on Amazon 4 days a week so I keep it 

Paramount has some stuff worth watching, but no must watches. I do enjoy Stallone still hanging around, season 2 of Tulsa King starts tomorrow. 

Crave is way overpriced and has the worst app. It's a subscribe for specific content then cancel service. 

 

Apple TV I've had for a could years for $0 because there's always a promo somewhere for a few months free. I wouldn't pay for it. Good content but very limited content.

They've been saying too much TV can rot a person's mind since the early 60's, that statement has never been truer than today.  As usual, less is more.

 

Excessive TV-watching — defined as four or more hours daily — is associated with a greater risk of developing brain-based disorders such as dementia, depression, and Parkinson's disease, a new analysis suggests.Mar 1, 2024

This. I need cable to tape the games. But... Waders27 has most games up on YouTube within a day, soooooooooo.....

So 3clown nation had Montreal in first in their power rankings this week, somehow B.C. second and Ottawa third. Bombers winners of 5 dropped 2 spots. Would love to hear their dipshit reasoning this week if Montreal loses to complete the Trifecta.

Just me or is this a trashy headline by 3DN?

The whole piece is garbage, shame on 3dn for the super trashy false equivalence.

I don't know what'a wrong with JC Abbott's article that makes it trashy. What he says ain't no lie.

Elks sign six to their practice roster including A.C. Leonard. Leonard would have looked good here.

We seem content to stand pat for the most part, even though we badly need de/dl and lber among other positions.

I really don't see a scenario where he and WIllie could be on the field at the same time.

We'd get gashed badly by any QB who had a moderate football IQ.

We need a guy who gets off the line and disrupts the pocket.  Not more guys who play basketball defense on a football field.

Yea I’m not sure if WJ is assignment friendly half the time. Not being an expert in reviewing game tape but he seems to enjoy that free styling improv role fairly regularly.

Yup, our pass rush has been a joke all season, yet they do nothing to address it. Dead last in sacks. Toronto nearly doubling us.

And yet, our numbers are great in other defensive categories. It's actually quite the phenomenon. Say what you will about this management group - they are more than capable when it comes to scouting and coaching the secondary.

I agree, but I don’t think we’d be worse off with lemon/wj than with wj/habba. But what we need is not easily available right now unless we hit on an nfl cut in a big way.

teams read him all the time and he never makes the play. Wj needs to be part of a 3 man end rotation with 2 guys who can play. Not replacement level guys.

Not only that but our dl, outside of woods are seldom gap sound little on able to make plays in the running game. You gotta be good at atleast one or the other. 
 Jake is sound at getting off blocks atleast, garbutt is solid as well. but solid is far from good. And good is the enemy of great.

it’s really a testament to how little the cfl cares about rushing, and slow they are at adapting in general. The secondary is great, and the secondary coaching has been very good. But when teams know they will have time and can’t game plan for the openings that’s sad. 
 our front 6 is really lacking in coaching and game plan. 

[rebusrankin]

Somebody with more technical knowledge can answer but wasn't that the great thing about Jeffcoat, that he was a guy who could get off the line, disrupt things but was also technically sound allowing Willie to freelance? In other words, we need a Jeffcoat?

[Atomic]

Crazy that we are 13 games into the season and Willie is only one sack off the league lead with 6 sacks. Usually at this time the league leader would have 10+ sacks already.

[SpeedFlex27]

Why do I think our defense will continue to play well (we've only given up 274 oints in 13 games) until the playoffs when we'll get crushed? And Walters & Osh coulf have improved it but chose to stand pat all season.

If the ticats go on a bit of a tear- they could possibly cross over into the west... insanity.
