I don't know what's worse; you losing all respect for me as a poster over a fast food opinion, or me completely understanding and thinking it's a 100% valid response. 

 

And that, folks, is how you know you nailed a post!

Idk if id say goated but its definitely better than McDonald's off my extensive sampling of like 2-4 times at each place in the last 5 years lol. 

They both suck to be honest.  McDonald’s burgers are too dry .  And every time I eat at BK , which is once a decade ,  I feel unwell and remember why the hell it is I avoid BK and their burgers.

Never got sick from their burgers but their breakfast tore me up the last 2 times i tried it, ontop of just not  being good outside the bite sized hasbrown pucks.

Regarding Redzone.  Just before the season starts, I contact Xfinity and add the Sports and Entertainment package to my account for a monthly fee of $9.95.  At the end of the playoffs, I cancel it.  I do that every year.

 

The package includes the NFL Redzone and several other sports and entertainment channels which I can't remember off the top of my memory banks as I seldom if ever use them.  I called Xfinity and that will not change with the ESPN acquisition.

The problem I have with the burgers is that I can feel it just sitting there in my stomach after I eat it.

Ugh.  I usually avoid breakfast at chains unless I get some sort of coupon deal with it.  McDonald’s is overpriced.  Haven’t gone to BK for a while for breakfast.

 

Wendy’s can be good with their biscuits and breakfast items though.

I do the same. Enjoy RedZone when Titans are not on or for late games

I just drove by a BK, 6:54 PM my time and there was absolutely no one in the drive thru.

I get that feeling every time I eat fast food which is maybe 3 or 4 times a year. Once you cut that garbage out of your diet you realize its always tasted like shit and made you feel bad.

Not really football related, but ESPN apparently is buying MLB.tv as well. They are trying to become the cord cutting sports fan’s necessary streaming service.

Great. Disney can now ruin football and baseball coverage just like they ruined Star Wars.

Hopefully they fix the terrible app.  The GUI sucks and sometimes it repeatedly crashes/hangs.

Opening day, the app (streaming function) didn’t work at all for hours .

It's also kind of dumb how their blackouts work.

 

I bought the Padres only package.  I get every Padres game but the catch is that I have to be streaming from inside "Padres territory".  Which makes no sense at all.  Back in the day the point of blackouts was to encourage people to attend the games in person so they would black them out locally unless the game was sold out.  Now there is no local blackout but fans located in other cities can't watch the games.  LOL makes no sense.

 

Unless of course those fans buy the entire MLB.tv package that includes every team.  Then you are supposed to get every game for every team.  My friend had that and we still couldn't get the Padres/Dodgers games last weekend because were out in Palm Desert, which MLB decided is "Dodger territory".  So the only way to watch those games was to buy the "Dodgers only" streaming package, which makes no fucking sense when you already bought the entire MLB.tv package that is supposed to include every team.

 

It's shit like that where I fully support all the illegal streamers out there.
