The right way, the wrong way and the Max Power way

With the 2025 NFL season and the launch of ESPN’s direct-to-consumer streaming service both approaching, the two entities find themselves on the verge of a major deal.

According to The Atheltic’s Andrew Marchand, ESPN and the NFL are “inside the five-yard line” in their ongoing negotiations, which would see the Worldwide Leader acquire a significant portion of NFL Media. While the details of the potential deal that was first reported on in January 2024 have yet to be finalized, Marchand notes that it could see ESPN acquire properties including the NFL Network, Red Zone Channel and the seven regular-season NFL games that currently air on the league-owned network.

Disney weren't content in helping to destroy NBA coverage, they've now set their sights on the NFL.

As for ESPN, the acquisition of high profile assets such as the NFL Network, Red Zone Channel and regular-season games would arm the Disney property with more NFL-related inventory with the debut of its DTC streaming service expected this fall. While an official launch date has yet to be revealed, we now know that it will cost $29.99 per month and merely be referred to as “ESPN.”

$29.99 a month to pay for Stephen A's and McAfee's salary, just to watch sports...

Might end up being cheaper as far as Redzone viewers go. Right now one of the main options is the $11 month sports package from YTTV, but you have to be subscribed to the $80 base plan to have access. The 29.99 would cut out the middle man :jbhmm:

Not caring about the NFL other than my specific team on game day is pretty liberating. Quitting fantasy is a big step to that...
I hate ESPN for the simple fact they took TV rights to most of the mid major college hoops I'd watch on the weekends. Now, to watch them, I have to subscribe to ESPN+, which I refuse to do
