I was just minding my own business scrolling early this morning and saw this vomit nugget about our beloved conference from Seth Emerson ($$) at The Athletic: First, they expanded into Missouri and Texas, then they wanted CFB to be national, then the Auburn series starts being considered obsolete or a “byproduct of expansion,” and now we give a shit about making sure the Europeans care about SEC football?! Greg Sankey, go lay down by your dish.
Oh, and the chef’s kiss? That “there was also some worry that if the SEC balked, Netflix would go to the Big Ten.” Gawd forbid the McCoys get Netflixed first.
Side nugget: the 4 best teams this year (with no apologies to Tennessee) abstained from participating, and all of which were either coached by former Saban coordinators or the program where he maintains an office. Paranoia, ftw!
Yeah, I saw that. After cleaning up the vomit, I also noticed the teams that didn’t participate. No surprise that Kirby doesn’t have time for that shit.
Yes, and a few of those teams on the Netflix (Vandy? Arkansas?) can probably use the $$$. There has to be a reason to put up with a film crew when you have real business to attend to.
You are correct Sir….CKS, got less than no time….GO DAWGS!!
Wonder how much money is involved for the teams/SEC? Cause now a days Sankey ain’t gonna do shit if there is no cashola involved. I swear, Sankey is a money hungry Leech.
Believe it was a $15M per school increase.
Like professional sports, CFB has become a 3-ring circus. I fully expect to see trapeze professionals, pole dancers, lion tamers, a SpaceX launch, etc. during the game. And we shouldn’t worry about what Europe thinks. I would assume the fake injuries to stop the clock fit in with their passion for soccer flops.
In a release, Netflix said the series “places viewers inside some of college football’s most storied programs in the SEC through unfiltered access to their coaches and players on and off the field: on the buses, in the locker rooms, at the barbershops, around the fire pits, running out of the tunnels, and more.”…
NO THANKS.
Netflix could do a scary version of Drive to Survive about the UGA football team.
Too soon! 😅
