ESPN & Amazon - A Match Made In ???
Amazon is getting big in to the NFL this coming year with the whole slate of Thursday Night Football, and went all in getting Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit in the booth. They are going to have Yankees games on Amazon. That will be just the start.
Disney has been rumored lately to be looking to sell the World Wide Leader in Sports. Why I'm not totallys sure. Sports and live content is the main reason to have dish, cable or YouTubeTV. And with sportsAmazon is wanting to go all in. This would be a HUGE splash!
Here is what I think should and could happen.
One thing I think that will maybe hurt Amazon is the baby boomer generation doesn't stream as much as the next generations. Amazon doesn't have a "channel". People don't like extreme change and I think this would help the gradual movement to streaming. ESPN+ is a really good streaming network with great options for sports and entertainment, and has the name to go with it. When you say Amazon you don't think sports, you think a place to get a mouse or airpods.
So first move is that ESPN is sold to Amazon. With that Amazon can then have the NFL stream on ESPN's channel for Thursday Nights and this would give them 2 NFL slots Thursday Night Football and Monday Night Football.
NFL is king and right next to it is College Football. ESPN already has the SEC rights, next would be the Big Ten. Media rights are coming up for negotiation soon, and if I was ESPN/Amazon I would go all in on the Big Ten too. Years ago they lost out to Fox and the Big Ten Network, and its becoming a bigger rift. I would buy the Big Ten Network and all media rights from Fox and own the top 2 leagues. The deal would have to be similar to the SEC though. In doing this I would also not touch anything BTN wise, just let them operate as is. They know what they are doing in Chicago, let them keep doing it.
After having those big 2, go all in on the College Football Playoff. It will be expanded but will be HUGE money wise. Go after it and get it.
All the above would need to be done by 2023-24 season I think with the Playoff Expansion talks and then also the Big Ten next media deal.
The next would be to in 2032 get the NCAA Tournament from CBS. Really want to be the world wide leader? Get all the big gigs. That would be the last one aside from the World Series and rotating Super Bowl. And don't worry the World Series would be in the sights soon.
Currently there are roughly 76 million subscribers to ESPN through cable, streaming, etc. How many of us have enough streaming services to watch everything for shows and movies? With Netflix, HBOMax, Apple+, Disney+, Prime, Peacock, Paramount+ if there is a movie or show out there we can find it and watch it.
ESPN is currently roughly $10 on a cable bill. You also get all those other channels you don't watch. First off keep that, for now. I would have the standalone ESPN app and all content on it be available for $20 a month. Have it with ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNews, SEC, ACC and the acquired BTN all there. Then all the shows and ESPN+ content available. I love the YouTubeTV service but I would drop it and just go to that content easy. If half of the 76 million subscribers get it, and the other half stay with YouTubeTv or a service its 13.6 billion in revenue. That's not even including the advertisement revenue, which was 2.3 billion in 2020.
With the content listed above that number will go up. That number will only increase as more cut to just the app. That gives more revenue to buy more content. And with that I think you'd get an ESPN3 to include more timing. Thus keeping Big 12 in there, and then also the Pac 12. You then OWN college football mainstays.
Now with that content what would it look like say on a normal week? College Football Saturday? See Below.
That would be the main feed, and I would throw in alternative feeds on ESPN+ for the extra games. in the MAC, MWC, SunBelt, American and HBCU and FCS. That would be a great day.
College basketball would fill out in the weekdays. Thursday Night and Monday Night are all NFL. Keep Manning Night football available.
Then what else is in sights? As mentioned above Men's March Madness along with Women's March Madness. What else?
The NFL makes 10 Billion a year, could 1 entity buy up it all and show games on ESPN/ESPN2 regionally at 12/3 each and then Sunday Night Football?
MLB needs to get out of the blackout life. With ESPN+ you can throw every game on a stream. This will grow the sport. It's 2022 games not on live are a disappointment.
Then you can be called the World Wide Leader.

2013 NFL Predictions
Last year I nailed the Super Bowl Champion, missed on the NFC participant. 2nd time in the last 7 years I at least got the champion right (picked the Colts over the Bears in 2006), hitting .285 isn't bad, would be a nice MLB career average. This year’s picks I'm going a little out there different, and Pete Prisco of CBS Sports proved to me I'm not totally crazy.
AFC East – New England Patriots
AFC North – Cincinnati Bengals
AFC South – Houston Texans
AFC West – Denver Broncos
AFC WC – Baltimore Ravens
AFC WC – Miami Dolphins
NFC East – New York Giants
NFC North – Green Bay Packers
NFC South – Atlanta Falcons
NFC West – Seattle Seahawks
NFC WC – New Orleans Saints
NFC WC – San Francisco 49ers
AFC Championship
Cincinnati over Denver
NFC Championship
Atlanta over Seattle
SUPER BOWL
Atlanta over Cincinnati
CBS Experts picks.

NFL Post Season Picks
So in my preseason predictions I picked Baltimore over Green Bay, now that can still happen, BUT I don’t see it happen. Though if it does I’m totally claiming that I did. I also nailed 7 of the 12 playoff teams. Not too shabby. But going into the playoffs I’m making some other picks. Here’s my post season NFL picks.
9/07/2012
The Big Game 6er!
1. Iowa struggled to get by NIU this past weekend, Iowa State rumbled past Tulsa to set up a 1-0 matchup in Iowa City for the ‘new’ CyHawk trophy. Iowa hasn’t lost to ISU in Kinnick since 2002, and some feel that Iowa State maybe the more talented team going into the game Saturday. What happens? Who wins?
Matt – I really don’t have a feel, ISU played better the first game of the year. ISU I think is the most talented team and I like their LBs as the best unit on the field. I think though that this mirrors last year’s game. Iowa had the more impressive first game last year, ISU struggled. ISU pulled off the win at home. I could see that happening this year, flip-flopped. I’m thinking somewhere Iowa pulls a play out and eecks out a win in the 4th and the defense this year stops Steele Jantz and the Hawks can run out the clock with a W. Hawks 24-Clones 23
Wendt – Iowa-27 Iowa State-13
Painter – Iowa has way more talent but is transitioning. I think Iowa's passing game will greatly improve (Vandenberg is a million times better at Kinnick. The game will either end with ISU winning by a few points or Iowa winning by double-digits.
Blake – I've gone back and forth. On the surface, it seems like ISU should win. However Iowa is so successful at home, and in home openers, and I think it took a while to realize how good NIU played, that now I'm favoring Iowa a little. Still wouldn't bet on this game either way
BSox – I don’t think I’m going too far out there to say I think Iowa will win, but I do believe that it will be a close game. I think if Iowa would have had better luck in the red zone this weekend, there would be a different feeling going into the game. So away we go again. We’ll see what happens this year.
Majors – With every fiber of my being I am willing the Hawks to a win. I am just not sure, though. We seemed to be in neutral all game, and NIU's front 7 just manhandled us it seemed. Go Hawkeyes!!!
Zach – Iowa did struggle last week to Northern Illinois, and I can't wait for tomorrow to come around so the talk can stop for at least three hours. Anyway, Iowa State looked too impressive to lay an egg on Saturday. Jantz shouldn't have many problems, but Iowa hangs around in this game. ISU 28, Iowa 24
2. Week 1 of the college season is in the books…Penn State got beat by Ohio, Alabama rolled Michigan, Boise State couldn’t pull off the upset in East Lansing and UNI almost pulled a shocker in Madison. What are your week 1 impressions?
Matt – Alabama has as good of a defense as some NFL teams. I think if they can get any offensive production, mark them down for the title game. No other SEC team impressed me. USC looked good and I liked Michigan State and Va Tech. Baylor also trying to not miss a step without RG3.
Wendt – Alabama was very impressive and Denard Robinson is still a glass quarterback and will never amount to anything in the NFL (he better not be a Heisman finalist either) Nebraska looked good apparently (I didn't watch but just heard) Ohio is actually a better team than most people were giving them credit. USC is legit
Painter – Same as every year, there was a lot of sloppiness all over, especially on the teams that have new coaches/coordinators. It's also very difficult to replace players at the college level. The good teams were making their presence felt
Blake – Alabama and USC are really good. Everything is is still open for discussion
BSox – I think its too early to really get into real deep impressions. We know the SEC is tough, big ten is down, big 12 barely plays D, and Oregon will have great uniforms all season. That’s what we know. By the way, I do like oregon’s uniforms. I don’t care if it is a huge money makers just for nike, I think they are sweet. Love the helmets.
Majors – Helloooo Alabama! They looked ready to go, which is typical Saban when he has time to prepare. I think it will still be a great season, and there are more twists & turns ahead.
Zach – Penn State's marketing department better get to work on how to market their basketball season right now, Ohio might be the "Boise" of the nation this season, Mike Leach now realizes what kind of buzzsaw he's run into, and oh yeah, the SEC is still going to be the best conference by December.
Ok, NFL time, the season starts on Wednesday with the Giants and Cowboys. Who you got?
3. Who wins the NFC? Any darkhorse contenders?
Matt – I’m going with the Packers here. I think the Bears could cause some trouble (if healthy) and the Giants and Niners are still there.
Wendt – Green Bay (keep an eye on Seattle)
Painter – Green Bay will be really strong again (hopefully the defense improves) and Detroit should push them in the division. Carolina and Atlanta will be strong too but the Packers will be looking to get back to the Super Bowl.
Blake – I think the 49ers have a real chance, along with the Bears and Packers
BSox – Safe bet is the packers. But its weird to think Chicago or detriot could be up there too. Dang that division is loaded. Dark house would proly be the giants…I mean come one they have to be right?
Majors – I think the Packers win the NFC. Watch the Seahwaks though, I like Russell Wilson, and that D could be nasty.
Zach – Rematch of last year and for my sake, it better not be the same outcome. Don't sleep on the Seahawks as long as T.O. stays low with his mouth
4. Who wins the AFC? Any darkhorse contenders?
Matt – Going with defense. The Ravens. I like Houston to be a dark horse.
Wendt – New England (keep an eye on Houston)
Painter – You can never bet against New England but Baltimore may be in line to take over.
Blake – Patriots again, but I could see the Ravens or Broncos getting there too
BSox – If its true and the pats are a good bet, steelers are usually there, and the ravens….the ravens need to get it done soon, or they will be too old. Dark horse here isn’t really a dark horse, but Denver will be fun to watch, they were already a playoff team, and I cant see how they’d take a step back with an upgrade at QB
Majors – I want to say the Texans, but losing Demeco Ryans & Mario Williams hurts. I still think they are a tough out, though. Darkhorse? Well, if Run DMC can stay on the field & Carson can throw to the correct team, the Raiders could pull some surprises. They do have a TON of 1 ET games, which is a death sentence for West Coast teams.
Zach – Houston vs. New England. Yes, Houston. They have to have SOMETHING to cheer for. Winner: Those damn Pats. In terms of darkhorses, look out for Kansas City
5. Who wins the the Super Bowl and MVP?
Matt – Ravens win. Ray Rice MVP…Ed Reed and Ray Lewis retire as champs
Wendt – New England with Tom Brady as MVP
Painter – I really want Green Bay to win it but I don't know if they'll be able to get past Baltimore in the Super Bowl.
Blake – I'll take the Patriots. They've been so close the last few years, and I can't see Brady and Belichek going out without one more
BSox – Really?
Majors – I am going with the Packers, but watch the Ravens, they could have 1 final run in them. MVP is Rodgers.
Zach – Pats beat the 49ers. Sigh
6. Michael Clark Duncan passed away this past weekend, what’s your favorite MCD movie?
Matt – He’ll be remembered most for the Green Mile but he was a pretty good Kingpin in Daredevil
Wendt – The Green Mile with honorable mention to Daredevil
Painter – I thought he was great in Armageddon and Green Mile
Blake – Green Mile. Not even close.
BSox – I’m gonna go with Armageddon, simply because I always laugh at him on the motorcycle, and yelling “COME GET PAPA BEAR!”
Majors – Any of them, he was awesome. I liked watching him & the Rock together, real life best friends that carried over to the screen. Will be surely missed.
Zach – The dude appeared in everything it seemed like, so if I may, I'll claim three. His role in "Married With Children" as a bouncer, his voiceovers in "Family Guy" and his role in "The Whole Nine Yards" were the funniest for me, but playing John Coffey was definitely his signature role

Friday 6 Pack
1. Melky Cabrera of the Giants was suspended for performance enhancers last week and suspended 50 games. Many players have been caught and suspended; do the current rules work for MLB in testing and the punishment? Should something more be done?
Matt – 50 games doesn’t seem to worry these guys. I say suspend them a year without pay. Second strike your done. That may be enough of a punishment to keep clean. These guys have kids looking up to them. An organization that is paying them greatly relies on them to be clean. Strike fear in them. They just aren’t worried right now about it.
Wendt – I saw a tweet about one and done when it comes to suspensions, and while I doubt that will ever happen it might actually keep these guys from cheating. Feels like MLB wants them to continue to hit a ton of homeruns and if they need to cheat, do it, but don't get caught
Painter – I'm close to the point of letting these guys get juiced up and let them have at it. Players that want to cheat will find a way around the rules if at all possible.
Blake – The users are always ahead of the testing, that's why it seems like it would be smart for baseball to bring on Victor Conte as a consultant. Short of that, I'm not sure why you get 3 strikes before getting banned. Why not one strike? 1 positive and you're done with the game forever. That should be a deterrent
BSox – 50 games is pretty big, and if you’re like melky and get caught at the end of the season, it becomes an even bigger deal.
Majors – Until the salaries are adjusted, the players will continue to keep skirting the rules. It's all about the benjamins
Silker – 50 games is a big hit. I think that is a good punishment. However if he is found guilty of making the fake website, then a larger suspension should be in order. As strong of a penalty as ESPN analysts are saying with deportation, I think this is a bit harsh.
2. Chad Johnson was cut by the Dolphins last week after an arrest. TO is currently buried on the Seahawks depth chart. The best WR in the game are very quiet in Larry Fitzgerald and Calvin Johnson. Is the NFL Diva WR dying out?
Matt – Larry Fitzgerald, Jerry Rice, Calvin Johnson—these guys are the model WR. TO and CJ acted like they just spent a season at the U with Michael Irvin. I hope the diva player is dying out and knowing they can get cut.
Wendt – Having confidence is great but over the line "hey look at me" stuff just never seems to work. I like my players being confident until it turns into "look at me"
Painter – It was a fad and just like every fad it will die and then come back. I think there are still some diva WR but the top players are doing it the right way (letting their play speak for them). I gotta admit it was kind of fun when CJ and TO were performing well and performing their stunts.
Blake – I hope so. A very similar thing happened in the NBA. A lot of the diva players (think Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Allen Iverson) fizzled out, and were replaced by more humble stars (yes, LBJ and even the Dwightmare are more humble than the aforementioned).
BSox – Na, there will always be those dudes, it just happens to be the Chad and TO got old, but at least at some point they backed up all the hype.
Majors – No, you still have Dez Bryant who is banned from the Dallas area malls, you have Titus Young, you have Santonio Holmes, you have Plexi-glass, you have Crabtree. The number of them may be a little smaller, but they are still there
Silker – I hope so. These "Divas" are actors who play football. We shouldn't give them the time.
Ok, College football is damn near here; TIME FOR PREDICTIONS!
3. Who wins the faces off in the Big Ten title game in Indy and who raises the Stagg Trophy as Big Ten Champion?
Matt – Wisconsin over Nebraska. There will be a bit of Red in Indy.
Wendt – Wisconsin vs Michigan State with Sparty pulling the upset
Painter – Wisconsin vs Michigan with Michigan going to the Rose Bowl.
Blake – I'll take Wisconsin and Michigan, and Wisconsin hoists the Trophy. That said, it's Football and strange things happen
BSox – I’d love to say Iowa, but I don’t think it will happen. I gotta believe that Wisconsin will be one of the teams simply because there isn’t a better choice in the leaders because of Penn St and Ohio St banned from post season. Right now, I’m going to go with Michigan from the Legends. Nebraska could make it, but Michigan looks like a better bet at the moment.
Zach –
Majors – I'm going with Wisconsin & Michigan, ugh. I say the Sconnies take the title
Silker – Unfortunately I have to say Michigan wins it all. I dislike them as a team but they have all the weapons to be a title contender
4. Who wins the Big XII conference? Will a newbie in TCU or West Virginia topple Texas or Oklahoma?
Matt – Boomer Sooner. Though I think Texas, West Virginia and K-State could pull off a surprise here.
Wendt – I'll take the safe pick with Oklahoma
Painter – I'll take the powerhouse that is Oklahoma
Blake – Don't forget K-State either. They have the potential to be a big time spoiler if those other teams stumble. I don't see Texas winning the league, and think it's mostly between Oklahoma and West Virginia.
BSox – West Virginia might have a chance, but I’m going with Oklahoma…until they stumble for whatever reason like past years
Majors – I think OU is still tough, they will take it this year
Silker – Oklahoma continues its winning ways. TCU starts strong but is not a big enough power house yet.
5. Who wins the second to last BCS Championship game? Does the SEC make it 7 in a row?
Matt – I’m taking USC to end the SEC streak over the Georgia Bulldogs
Wendt – USC vs LSU and I'll take USC as BCS National Champions
Painter – Against my best judgement I'm going with USC.
Blake – First time I can ever say this, but if it's not a Big 10 team, I'm rooting for USC.
BSox – USC or Bama. I’m leaning SEC though
Majors – Man, tough to count out the SEC. I think the lack of depth will hurt USC, plus they have to play Oregon twice more than likely. I am going to go with a little long shot, though. How about them Dawgs? Let's see if UGA can pull off an upset
Silker – I hope someone other than the SEC. However I will take a Bama repeat before a trojan win. I hope lane kiffin never wins it with the Trojans
6. Politics and the 2012 election are taking over commercials, social media and seem like daily phone calls. Is there anything worse than the last few months of the election?
Matt – I’m really tired that it’s all negative. I don’t see it getting any better. First you cut down your own party members, and then you try to work with them. And really do they need to waste this much money? Think of where that money could be going. Sad thing is after November it’s going to ramp up to midterm and 2016 too. Our political system is really messed up
Wendt – The only thing that is worse is watching politicians say something stupid and thinking to yourself "this guy wants to help run the country?" SMH
Painter – The only thing that can come close is the month or two before the Presidential caucuses.
Blake – This year is worst than most. The negativity, fear mongering, and over the top politics are making me sick. The worst part is, we will only have a couple months off, and then the politicking for the mid-terms will start. Ugh
BSox – I’d love to say yes, but I have to go with no. I hate when people are republican or democrat, and they have no real reason as to why they are. The last election drove me crazy because people didn’t vote for Obama because of his ideas, they voted for him because it was the popular thing to do. My biggest thing is just for people to read and research before they vote.
Majors – Yes. The Iowa State Cyclones
Silker – Does dancing with the stars count? I agree though each year the election period gets longer and longer and worse and worse for negative campaigns. This year is bad with the super pacs being able to buy their own advertising without the campaign endorsement.
