2015 NFL Offseason Thread

[Galakanokis]

NFL game pass allows for streaming of all games on any device. Have they had this before and is it available in Canada?

49ers Ahmad Brooks charged with sexual assault. The 49er offseason from hell continues. Will they have any players left to fill a team? Perhaps a 0-16 season on the way.

He has left the team and speculation is that he will be cut.

Harbaugh, Willis, Aldon Smith, Justin smith, Borland, Gore, Anthony Davis, Brooks all gone in one offseason. Worst offseason in the history of sports?

Not sure if Game Pass is available here but Sunday Ticket and Redzone are available through Shaw. Redzone is cool to have but Sunday ticket is actually pretty limited because you can only stream live games. If you were a U.S. customer you could replay any game but this feature was not available in Canada (even though Shaw charged Canadians the U.S. price anyway ). Looking at the Sunday Ticket package it looks like they may have done away with replays altogether now. Caveat emptor I guess.

Pretty sketchy for Canadians.

Just a crazy offseason for you 49er fans. I live right by Levi's Stadium and the atmosphere is interesting. Iupati (Pro-Bowler), Crabtree, Cox also left from last year's team.

Aldon Smith and Brooks I don't feel sorry for at all.

Shaw's customer service regarding Sunday Ticket gets worse every year (despite the price always going up, funny how that works..). Now they have it that even if you don't buy Sunday Ticket until Week 14, you still pay the same price ($250 or whatever it is) as someone who bought it before week 1. How do they justify that??

I had Game Pass last year when I was in Denmark and I think I actually prefer it to Sunday ticket. Unfortunately I don't have a choice this year because Game Pass decided to auto-renew itself on me and my email to their customer service department got the most useless response I've ever seen. For the night games, just login to it using a VPN service and load the game, and then disconnect from the VPN and the stream should keep playing.

One thing I loved about it was the ability to switch the commentary from the national TV channels to the local radio broadcasts, which is perfect for if you have the terrible misfortune of having Supreme Lord ######bag Phil Simms commentating your game.

It might be worth it. I stream everything anyways so I am use to the computer control and with kids I am often watching on my laptop anyways. Got rid of unblockus a year or so ago but don't mind setting it up again.

I usually do a Superbowl party every year so I would have to see what the quality is like on a projector, probably crappy, or I break down and get cable for a month at the end of the season.

Eagles waived Acho after surgery to the thumb. Thought he was playing well and was a versatile backup.

I think I've just used TunnelBear in the past, which is free. Unblockus might not work because you'll probably need a European IP.

Funny you should mention that. When I was in Copenhagen I would watch the games with a couple of Danish dudes and some American guys in our lounge at the dorm, which had a giant projector. I believe Gamepass will output to 1080p, but the projector would only go up to 720. Anyways, I never had a problem with the quality. The only minor issue I had with Gamepass was that it's about a minute or so behind the regular feed, but that's only an issue if you have other people watching on a TV near you.

Time to buy shares in Markus Wheaton.

Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Martavis Bryant is facing a four-game suspension, pending an appeal, for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.

A pretty good article from Bleacher Report on the science behind non-contact ACL tears and prevention. I know, a good article from Bleacher Report. Who would've thought?
