Based on what I have read, Apple and Amazon are in the midst of a bidding war.

Well Apple aint touching the pocket size of Amazon imo!

I think the NFL would be dumb to handicap themselves to Apple tv, i think they would have far more exposure on Amazon's service who also have Twitch to further their reach to fans and allow them to more so interact with each other during broadcasts something you will never get with Apple tv.

Agreed, Amazon has a hell of a lot further reach than Apple does, so if anything, I hope they get it and that's coming from someone who owns Apple products (iPhones/iPads). Not to mention that Amazon has AWS and can retrofit back-end webservice calls as they see fit. Try doing that within the Apple ecosystem, it's a GD nightmare with all their proprietary BS. I for one am also not buying any AppleTV hardware.

While no longer the world’s most valuable company (no.2 now), Apple is still worth over 2 trillion dollars. They have the money to go toe to toe with Amazon, don’t kid yourself.

You wouldnt need to. Their app is on every streaming device.

Yeah, the winning bid is going to be ginormous.

I hate this generation of having all these various devices and streaming subscriptions. It’s overkill.

I'm with Biz though that the content options have become out of control today, all of them fighting for pieces of the pie and making people add more and more subs to get the content they want.

Heinz Field to be renamed Acrisure Stadium.

What is Acrisure? I'm not sure.

True. Forgot he’s still only a Jet. How about… throwing picks and sleeping with maternal chicks.

Of all the teams in the AFC East, Jets concern me the most. They have a GM who can identify talent and drafts well and a QB who makes you defend all levels of the field.

I'm not remotely saying that the AFCE is anything close to the AFCW in terms of top to bottom firepower, but BUF is clearly the class of the division and then from there you've always gotta worry about Belichick and those pesky Pats, the new look MIA team with that offensive guru HC and the Jets who I feel like made a lot of nice moves in the offseason. Should be interesting for sure.
