Preseason openers are underway.
Meanwhile, at the cowboys …
So DAZN is now charging $330 for a subscription. [Not clear is this is in US$ but I presume it is].
Decent size markup considering that the same service is sold by NFL in US for $99.
Looks like the Vikes have lost rookie QB JJ McCarty for most if not the whole season.
Think it was about this last year tbf. Stupidly expensive but I rate the DAZN product, especially against the likes of Kayo.
For anyone interested, Kayo has the Niners/Saints pre-season game on at 10am.
Touchdown San Fran Cisco!!
I have really missed the NFL.
Also I like seeing a team of mine play that aren’t frauds.
Moral victory.
What an absolutely unnecessary saga by Aiyuk and his agent.
Aiyuk “Pay me.”
Niners “OK, here is our offer which gets you into the top tier of $30M/yr WRs”
Aiyuk “Not enough. Pay me more!”
Niners “Well, we have massive costs coming up and think you will be more successful here than elsewhere. Our offer still stands.”
Aiyuk “Trade me. Now.”
Niners “Ok, here is a trade proposal from the Steelers that actually pays you more and that we are aligned with.”
Aiyuk “No!”
Niners “Ok, here is one from the Browns.”
Aiyuk “No!”
Niners “Patriots?”
Aiyuk “No!”
Niners “Well, our offer still stands and you better return to practice.”
Aiyuk “No!”
Aiyuk “Hello?”
Aiyuk “Hello?”
Niners “Our offer still stands.”
Lost amongst all this is that Trent Williams, arguably a more critical player to the Niners than Aiyuk, is also holding out for more $ without any of the associated drama.
49ers 1st round pick Ricky Pearsall was shot yesterday in San Fran after an attempted robbery. In a stable condition.

Rookie card just became a collectable.
Just realized there is a game next Sat. Nice!!
Fark me. Just heard about this. What a horrible way to start the season. Can’t wait for the SF is a hell hole crowd to chime in.
Here you go with footage of Pearsall going into an ambulance.
Geez. That doesn’t look great but I am glad it’s not worse. What a horrible way to start his career.
Latest.
The alleged culprit is alive and a 17-year-old. Honestly. What an insane time.
