The break even number is probably a lot higher than that, but I agree with the sentiment. They still have operational, tech, marketing, billing and support making up the rest. With 600k subscribers and around 400 editorial staffers per the article, they aren't turning a profit at a worst case revenue of $38.4M a year and probably around $32M in editorial staff salary. A lot of investment though.

Here's a guy that should think a little bit harder about the things floating around in his head before they escape his mouth.

I'm glad it's working for them, but I just can't see it being scalable under an old school industry business model. They may be able to catch boomers and gen-xers long enough to reap some revenue and maybe sell the company, but I just don't see how they're going to appeal to kids, gen z, and gen y when you have people creating great ad supported content out there. I had a sports illustrated subscription was I was 10. I don't see that happening with these guys.

I think Trubisky is a good QB with no one to throw the ball to.

Why wouldnt he want to play in chicago? Did you see their defense? With a player like him and their running game they could challenge the rams.

Seahawks have 9 million - too little cap if they need to sign anyone else Rams have 2 million - too little cap 49ers - 21 million cap I could see this Cardinals - 2 million OVER the cap. Not happening I think it could be: Bears - Makes the most sense: ready to win now and 0 receivers outside a past his prime Robinson Cowboys - It has Jerry Jones written all over it: Ready to win now Lions - Patricia could steal a move from the Belichick playbook Bills - Not really likely. Has proven hes the opposite of a process guy, but they had interest earlier and if the rest of the team is bought in, maybe they can handle one locker room cancer

I didn't know this but apparently they're teammates now. What the hell is Mayock thinking with Brown, Burfect, and Incognito on the same roster? Is there some sort of weird curse on this franchise that just makes their coaches/Ms/Owners do insane things one after the other?

Stay off the sauce sweetheart.

I'm hoping to see Allen and co completely embarrass the Jets and somewhere north of 270 yards passing, just to prove he's got it in him.

Absolutely could happen and that could be the reason or a host of other factors. All I'm doing is using the data that rarely shows deviation. I really, really , really hope it's one of those times, because he's our QB and if we cant win with him, we're unlikely to win for a very long time.

It's completely understandable for you to see that it's totally realistic for that to happen. i mean, after all, like you said, it's only 2-3 catches a game right? However, it just doesn't happen. The things that make a guy miss those 2-3 completions are extremely hard to fix once they're in the pros. When we drafted him, I hated the pick because of it and did a ton of research comparing college completion percentages to pro career numbers. For franchise-type guys or even guys like Dalton and Tannehill etc they remain shockingly close their college numbers on average and RARELY see a jump of more than 3%. Favre and Moon did, but their numbers were in the 40s, and there's a couple other outliers. Overwhelmingly, though, guys don't go from mid to low 50's in college to 60's in the pros. It doesn't mean he can't or won't be successful. It just means it's highly unlikely his percentage goes above 60.

Were we having a different conversation that I wasn't aware of?

Congrats you've won a lifetime supply of 'atta boys! I think 58% is a also a realistic sign of strong progress. Unless he turns into a drastically different kind of player somehow, I expect him to be in the bottom 10 of the league throughout his career, and that's ok as long as he learns to hit on the plays that matter.

I'll bet you $100 he doesn't get 62% passing. I don't think he's ever thrown that in his life.

What? How did you get there, and who said that anyone voted? It was said earlier in the thread McDermott picked them. Age has nothing to do with it either.

Do they? Like 0-4 snaps a game? I would have replaced Edmunds.He could get it next year if he earns it and LorAx retires

As much as I wish DiMarco played somewhere else, it seems pretty dumb to make a longsnapper a captain.

with a young team like this, I dont think it's bad to slap it on Allen. Edmunds, and Dawkins as a way of asking them to step up.

Kinda shocked not to see Hyde here

If tonight's game is any indication of the reffing for the rest of the year, I think we'll see all time highs in ticky-tack BS being called. I expect at least 2 of these pass interference reviews to ruin otherwise great games.

They have a far better RB than we do, even receivers, and a better perceived QB right now. I don't think it's outrageous.

If special teams ends up being a large talking point for us this year, chances are good most of us are hitting the pumpkin patch on Sunday's come November.
