Luigi Thirty posted:They're not profitable. Draftkings just got another $300 million in funding, $250 million of which is going to advertising. Reports say neither site actually makes any money. I think everyone has decided that the strategy these sites are taking is to try to grab as large a market share as possible right now while waiting for it to get reclassified and advertising to become much more regulated. The actual service itself can't cost that much, it's just all the advertising blitzkrieg war that's going on. One will die or absorb the other and advertising will become much more regulated. Then you'll get a couple banner ads here and there until some Senator's cousin's kid offs himself because he lost his trust fund playing the millionaire maker.

The final two plays of the night, in a clear Hail Mary situation, he woefully underthrows a 20-yard pass, then on the next play steps up into the pocket winding up and is sacked.

Don't forget the end of the first half, where instead of even trying a Hail Mary he takes off running for no reason at all, as if he's going to go 60 yards through the 8 guys who'd dropped deep.

N: The patriots made a trade to address the fact that Mayo proooooobably should be on the PUP list as he's clearly not 100%. They got this guy, who led the bears in tackles last season: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap2000000230462/Bostic-s-tackle-forces-incompletion V: Hell yes. If he's healthy this dude can bring dat hit stick action.

Draftkings is paying over $80 million a year to ESPN for exclusive advertising. You may as well complain about Budweiser commercials. It's like any other dumb commercial, just ignore it. I personally think it's a good idea, because with actual fantasy football usually by week 4 or 5 you're out of it and who cares. But yeah not going to work as a business model. Probably gets absorbed into ESPN's fantasy offerings at some point.

He did that against the Broncos, too. Okay great a 10 yard run from your 20 with 27 seconds and 1 time-out left. You just lost 8 seconds for 10 yards that leave you out of any kind of range to do anything.

ESPN was all set to invest $250 million in it a few months ago but decided against it. I agree though that one will be bought by ESPN and the other will be bought by Yahoo.

At some point, running for 30 yards then drawing a personal foul so they can get an untimed down to kick a FG is probably higher odds then him competing a hail mary pass that makes it anywhere close to the endzone.

It amuses me that someone is excited that their team traded for Bostic. He is bad at football and not worth that sixth round pick. That or the coaching the last two years has been THAT awful and he suddenly becomes a pro bowler in New England and I kill myself. Either seems possible.

How much of a leash do you guys think John Fox gets? The Bears roster is abysmal. That's a 2 or 3 year rebuild project. If they continue to stink, will Fox be actually around to see the fruits of three drafts? edit: Wow Ryan Pace is really loving young

He really makes no sense there.

NC-17 posted:And now he's turned into a #4 WR. Matthews and Landry get all the targets. Stills still needs time to connect with Tannehill - he missed a lot of pre-season with an injury and you can tell. Jennings is the odd man out. He's on a 2 year deal. Trade his rear end to Carolina for a 6th. He's not producing and he's dropping everything.

Fox is gonna have a while to operate. The roster is a dumpster fire changing schemes and riddled with injuries. Barring some major gently caress up that I can't even think of he has probably 3-4 seasons before he's on a short leash.

I still have high hopes for Stills. You cant expect our deep threat to get much action when Tannehill has maybe 2 seconds to throw the ball before hes catching a forearm in his chest
