Forget socialism, we are at the point where even free market capitalist competition is too much to ask. If they want us to buy their product, offer some cool features that make us choose to buy it, like how one of the streaming services gives Peyton and Eli commentary. Compete.
But competition and offering better products will not maximize profits. So instead, we get mafia-style extortion rackets, not a utopia of quality consumer goods.
We should not downplay this just because there are many things more important in life than football. This is a microcosm of a bigger problem in our society: how the banks and monopolies have control of, and ruin, everything. This is just 1 of the many ways in which your life is negatively affected by the overarching problem. If this is what it takes to get you to start seeing it, then get started.

I really don’t need Peacock, YouTube, although I do have Amazon for the trash Thursday night games. There are ways to get any and every game on your phone for nothing. Not ideal for parties or anything, but if you are either sitting watching one and want a real time peek at another, there ya go. Any game. For myself, at work a lot during gametimes, punch it up and there it is. A little work will free you of griping about paying for a free trial, forgetting about it, then getting nut-kneed for $62 for next 3 months because you forgot to cancel.

Eagles are favored by 1.5 points over the Packers in Brazil. It's probably due to our kicker. Thoughts?

My travel got denied. Otherwise I’d be there. Apparently it’s too unsafe for military but Iraq is cool.

To be fair, that probably supports Ringo's opinion. Doesn't matter, though. We are winning that game by double-digits.

Meh…not so much.
Yes, I know, it's sarcasm. But still...

Picture: That's your's truly at Camp Korean Village (formerly FOB Buzz, near Ar Rutbah, Al Anbar province) circa 2007. If ever there was a place to describe as the armpit of civilization, that was it. A true &%$@ hole.

Does Iraq have any decent places or is it all just desert? I was under the impression that it had some locations with an acceptable climate

I for one will be pirating this first game. Maybe a relative has Peacock, idk. But even then, it's probably easier to just pirate.

The “climate” is similar throughout the country. There are, however, areas of plant growth and sporadic greenery along and among the Tigris and Euphrates river basins. The country is mostly arid and barren, though, aka &%$@ hole.

Used to be plush green thousands of years ago.

Has anyone heard or read about the Brazilian soccer fan bases disdain for green colored jerseys? Apparently the archrival soccer team wears green. Could put Packers and Eagles fans attending the game and/or pre- and post-game festivites at risk. Take this is for what its worth .............. this emanated from a rumor communicated by an Eagles fan.

The Sao Paulo team colors are red, black and white. The country's national soccer team colors are almost the same as the Packers green and gold.

I'm not talking about their country archrival, I'm talking about Sao Paulo and the other Brazil soccer team rivals.
