Strong disagree. The more you move games to streaming services like Netflix the less I will watch. Netflix has not been doing as well financially as you think. I'm a young person and I will never subscribe to Netflix. Complete waste of money.
Also you don't seem to comprehend that the "legacy brands" can just as easily broadcast the games over the Internet. It has nothing to do with Netflix, everyone can do it.
If John posts himself talking about anything I’m pretty much tuning in… content is consistent and legit.. whether I agree with the take or not. It’s going to be honest and insightful… keep being great!!
Stop using mahomes numbers… that’s exactly how dak got paid😂
Burrow has chase, maybe the best receiver in NFL
Mahomes number 1 this year was a washed kelce about to retire
It's only Barkley. I don't believe that even he will ever again come close to the numbers he set this season. You have Henry and a guy from Buffalo. Mixon. But,no running back will be this important to a team as Barkley was this season any time soon. And they get injured as a rule. 100%.And,you must jave top 5 o.line. All rb's that played for Eagles last 3 to 4 seasons had great numbers. And super bowl showed us that it's not about Barkley. At least in that game. It was about Eagles d.line and o.line. Terrible job done by Andy Reid and Naggie,and Mahomes had enough of hits,andd 3 and outs,and he snapped and made 2 bad decisions.Without Barkley,if Eagles d.line Pressired as they did,it would be same result. Andy is slipping. He was saved by Kelce and Patrick last season. But,him and Naggie did a real poor job last year. Pat almost saved him this year as well. But you can't play these Eagles without a game plan on offense.😂😂. They made it against 9ers cause defense played best 3 quarters in Chiefs hiatory probably.😂 And then d.line for 9ers got tyred.Andy jas done rhe same shit.last year in a superbowl.
Middlekauff refuses to go a day without saying “Jim Harbaugh”
13:03 Patrick Mahomes hasn’t had an elite season in quite a few years. The chiefs have ABSOLUTELY no doubt been carried by their defense since Hill left.
Sh!t if the Chargers are playing an international game and it's a division team now you know it's rigged all the way. Yeah takeaway a division home game and make them play a division opponent on neutral field. It's f*king robbery I'm sorry.
28:30 : “There’s a large percentage of people who do [ watch YouTube on their tv] , and i imagine they lean young.”
Me the same age as John watching this on my tv currently: 😅
Agree – never cheap on the coach (or GM). In draft I place a point above any WR on a value basis an OL or DL player ( QB a different evaluation ) vs the number of picks you have – lots of WRs and they only get supply if the OL and QB and coaching are effective (otherwise that super talented WR just running around for the day). If it was a R1 WR vs a R1 OLineman and I didn't need a lineman as much I would still draft the OLineman (better long term trade value too – in general).
I’m 37…watching this video on my TV on the YouTube App
The chiefs may have lost to eagles but they are still the kings of the AFC, which team will beat them? You realy trust the bengals? Ravens always outsmart themselves, and chiefs just own bills, who outside those three teams are superbowl ready? I think chiefs go back to superbowl
Say what you want about them…but the games were free to watch on Fox, CBS, and NBC. The NFL is starting to piss me off cuz now every week I gotta have a different streaming service to the games.😒
Chargers vs Detroit would be awesome we played in 2023 and lost but it was high scoring game. Both playoff temas
Just my 2 cents, one of the best decisions of your career is to hitch your channel to Cowherd’s brand/umbrella of podcasts. I disagree with tons of his opinions, but he doesn’t fail when it comes to media and content. There are times I would hate listen to him. That’s reach
Hahaha John calling these Chilean gangs are real “high level” operations, classic. Love you middlekauff keep dojng it
NBC/Xfinity/GE/Universal can absolute crush Netflix in a bidding war….
28:29 Is John sitting there with a little Samsung TV he got from Circuit City in 2007, with no apps built-in and one HDMI port that only does 1080i? Anyone with a television built in the last ten years has YouTube very easily accessible right there, not to mention a Roku or Amazon streaming stick.
It was a coach QB league until Jalen and Sirianni won 😂😂 now they’re scrambling trying to explain it
If these are your 4 takeaways from this season, wtf have you been watching your entire life 🤣?
How have you not already known these things?
Makes no fuckin sense man
Mfs think the chiefs done cuz we lost to a NFC team? Lol bills ravens and bengals still gon have to come BEAT us
Hey chiefs fans, its gonna take you years to rebuild that OL, get another TE, ans replace chris jones cause hes on his way to the old folks home. And it sounds like theres a few people holding out on contracts. Which means they want unrealistic money.
Dude, Netflix has a lot of issues. A lot of their shows are pointless because they never do follow up seasons, and there’s tons of shows that have been on there without conclusions.
Next season will be extremely interesting,Denver and the Chargers finally have decent QBs and competent coaches the Chiefs might be in a dog fight this year to make the playoffs.
As a business owner I need a side pod where you talk business John. You tell it like it is keep it up!
John needs to wear his hat backwards to drive Cowherd crazy.
I don't see Netflix have more money than Fox, NBC or ABC. I don't buy it….they do not have more money than Disney. Netflix was about to shut down a couple years ago, they were begging for viewer subscription. They even lowered they're prices. Netflix Suuuc
People are going to Netflix bc they don't do cable and they're way better steaming services than Netflix. Apple, Hulu, Paramount!! Netflix is a bunch of Leftist B's shows and docs
Fox will be around for another thirty years. As if Fox can't stream, what are you talking about ? Lol…..Not in Philadelphia everyone has cable or the Stick😂😂😂
Didn't realize I wasn't subscribed. My bad John – I love your content both football and golf.
It’s simple for me RB deserve the money but don’t give them the years. Saquon should o got 3/60
2. QBs make too much money the politics is crazy. Get too much credit for win and losses.
Would rather watch teams in their home stadiums, not in Brazil. Also, love the nfl but have no desire to pay & watch on Apple or Netflix
That’s facts, I’m on deployment in the middle of the Indian Ocean and John’s an automatic click
Solid content during the most boring part of NFL season. Keep it up
I left Detroit for Scottsdale for a reason, now Scottsdale’s getting robbed 😅
