You think Stephen A gets his giant contract without the ESPN NFL deal?

****** gotta be able to read nuance. Everybody just out for self.

 

[americangenius]

I don’t know if posted but Jim Rome called this from 30

Anyone with half a brain could see this was a trap. There was no way Kaep could win with this one.

Always cringey when Meth broke out his finest kente cloth & tried to use that quote knowing he got white supremacists on his squad. S/o to his draft pick jrose

meth is a white dude married to a black woman. I been tried to tell y’all that.

To those curious about the ESPN NFL relationship, and why some people think that ESPN has become almost an extension of the league.

George Bodenheimer had only been on the job as ESPN’s acting chairman for a couple of weeks when he got word that Fox and the NFL would partner on the NFL draft, jointly producing a show that would directly compete against ESPN.

ESPN’s relationship with the country’s most powerful sports league never has been totally in sync. Bodenheimer, after all, was ESPN’s president in 2004 when his network produced the “Playmakers” series that infuriated the league. ESPN wound up canceling the series after just one season because of pressure from NFL executives.

ESPN is dealing with a declining subscriber base and paying higher rights fees. A host of digital competitors are waiting in the wings to get some of its rights. It’s launching a direct-to-consumer service later this spring.

During Super Bowl week in Minneapolis, NFL executives privately described the relationship as the worst they’ve ever seen. In particular, they pointed to stories on ESPN.com and “Outside the Lines” that they felt went out of their way to portray the NFL in a bad light.

Their complaints ranged from the number of times ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” covered the concussion issue to the number of stories from feature writers Don Van Natta and Seth Wickersham about Commissioner Roger Goodell’s salary, the league’s handling of the player protests, palace intrigue at the Patriots and the ongoing dispute between Goodell and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

Plus, there were all the negative headlines surrounding the NFL this season that made their way onto “SportsCenter” or the home page of ESPN.com.

The NFL always has had a hard time differentiating between ESPN the promotion arm and ESPN the media outlet. It’s not a new development. In 2013, Goodell and then NFL executive Steve Bornstein met with former ESPN President John Skipper at a Manhattan restaurant to pressure him to back out of its affiliation with PBS’s “Frontline,” which was producing a documentary on concussions. ESPN wound up pulling out of the partnership.

ESPN executives felt handcuffed because its deals with cable and satellite providers carried a provision that its rate would be cut if ESPN ever lost the NFL.

Over a five-year period ending around 2015, ESPN methodically stripped that clause out of its affiliate deals, meaning that the rates cable and satellite distributors pay are not tied to ESPN having the NFL. That benefited ESPN’s long-term business. It also helped its executives get some swagger back, as insiders say it emboldened them to push back more at the NFL when they feel aggrieved.

This is the environment that Pitaro inherits. Pitaro is known as a smooth relationship builder and excellent negotiator. He will put both of those skills to the test as he looks to fix one of ESPN’s most important partnerships.

Jay-Z is unhappy with the way Colin Kaepernick handled his workout on Saturday -- our sources feel Colin "turned a legitimate workout into a publicity stunt."
As we previously reported, Colin bailed on the NFL's workout Saturday and held his own workout instead. Colin claims he wanted transparency -- insisting the NFL would not allow him to have media at the workout.
Sources close to Jay-Z tell us ... Jay is unhappy with the way things went down because he feels the league was genuine in trying to give Colin an opportunity.
Colin went through with his workout at a high school nearby and reviews are mixed. Some scouts are reportedly impressed with Kap's arms strength and talent. And, others are reportedly saying he looked average at best.

ESPN controlling the narrative

 

[doublemesh96]

They want fam to bend the proverbial knee. Everything on their terms as they say. These “owners” wanna break him like he’s a wild animal. The whole landscape of the nfl is supported by all these koons running round tap dancing so massa will throw em a bone and continue to cut they’re checks. Kaep should be smart enough to realize that this is the landscape and he isn’t gonna change it. If you wanna play, you gonna be a part of some bullllll****. Understand that and play or understand that and be at peace with severing ties with this trash *** league

when you're done kindly remove da foot out your mouth slowly, i want you to preserve your teeth when you're eating crow.

its not my fault every sports analyst worth his salt basically said Colin pissed away his NFL chances most likely for da last time by making this a circus side show.

son said my narrative like Stephen A smith and 99% of da media EXPECTED duke to put up or shut up.. how about you do da same as far as da thread contribution? cuz you doing alot of nothing b.

Playmakers ending after one season was a dead giveaway. Didn't know better then

Playmakers ending after one season was a dead giveaway. Didn't know better then

Oh I knew. They brought up every issue troubled players have in one season. NFL said they don’t like it and ESPN pulled the plug. Damn shame cuz it was a good show.
