I recommend you go watch a Penn State wrestling match. Better yet, spend some time with these young men. You might learn something.
Peacock be damned

No idea what PSU wrestling has to do with this. I've watched many PSU wrestling matches.
I'm sure there are things I might learn from college athletes just as there are things they might learn from me. My life experience is far greater than their's though, so I suspect they have more to learn than I do.
I was referring specifically to each of their interviews after their individual matches. But that sounds about right. Carry on.
Yeah, it's disappointing when they reference religion.
I would like to think that a PSU education would instill in them better critical thinking skills.
But as I say, they are young. Hopefully they will learn as they mature.
OK. Which human endeavor are you the absolute best in the whole country at achieving? I thought so. But I’ll take your comments under advisement.
I'm at a national championship level in my field.
But being really good at one thing doesn't prevent you from not being good at other things. For example, while I am excellent at my field of science, I am very bad at visual arts and music. Just not my skillset.
So someone could be the best wrestler in the world and be crap at critical thinking (which those specific athletes obviously are). But fortunately, they are young and can improve their intellecutal fortitude over time.
We weren’t talking about very good or even excellent as you know. We are talking about actually achieving the very best. Ha ha. You are nowhere near the absolute very best in the country at your field. Most intelligent, striving, accomplished people would look at these guys who have achieved the absolute pinnacle in their field, actually accomplished the feat, not bragging that “I think I am.” And maybe think, gee, what is going on here? What can I learn from this?. But Mr Know-It-All self proclaims what do they know, I’m the best. Meanwhile NBC setting new standards for the depths that their news division can sink to. Kasparaitis proved right again!
You have actually zero basis for making that statement. And you wrong.
I didn't bring it up. You did. I corrected your error.
What can I learn from wrestlers that applies to my field? Not much. Hard work and discipline but I've been practicing those things since before any of the current roster was born.
Just correcting your incorrect statement.
Editing an interview for time is not "sinking to new depths."
Right back at you, Super Chief.
Based on your posts, you seem like a shitty person to be around.
I apologize. I just hate to see people blessed with Gifts from God not able to achieve their full potential and it scrapes my bark. My personal philosophy is that we can all learn something from super achievers, those who are actually number one in their field such as Cael Sanderson and his 4 time national champion wrestlers. I guess you’re not following along with the embarrassing employment decisions made by NBC. It is a bad company that employs bad people. I wish you the best.
Just wanted to update everyone with NBC’s quarterly results. They are on track to lose another $2 1/2 billion on Peacock again this year. For those who don’t understand Finance, that’s the financial definition of Peacock Sucks.
No one who understands "Finance" would interpret Peacock's quarterly performance as one indicating it sucks. Please stop talking. You're over your skis and somersaulting down the mountain.
"Narrowed" its loss to $639 million from $704 million a year ago. Paid subscribers increased to 34 million up 55% versus year ago. Revenue increased 54% to $1.1 billion, does not say but I assume versus year ago. Programming costs were higher.
So growing top line well while still losing a lot of money. Financials are not great assuming your objective is to make a profit and anyone who has invested in Peacock would rightfully want to know when if ever they expect to make money. For increasing revenue 54% to only improve your operating loss by 9% ($704 million to $639 million) is not good.
Have you ever seen an athlete thank Jesus Christ when they lose? The whole thing is bullshite.
What whole thing? You seem angry while CJ Stroud is living his dream, counting his blessings and thankful to his creator. It’s never too late to figure it out however.
Ha ha, apparently Peacock is a magic word for Dipshits. Ryoder summed it up so nicely that even wannabe know-it-alls like you should be able to understand. As I stated Peacock lost a little over $2 1/2 billion last year and their recent quarterly results indicate they are on track to lose a similar amount this year. Those are facts, genius. NBC isn’t a startup and their streaming business is a loser. Peacock sucks and the numbers don’t lie, even though you do.
I wonder how much they pay Michael Cavanagh, the President of Comcast, to oversee a division that generates $1.1 billion in revenue yet loses $639 million in a quarter? Seems like they have out of control costs. Someone needs to inform him that the objective of a business is to make a profit especially a business with the resources of NBC Universal. You know it is a red flag when you are touting..."we lost less money than last year". This is like losing to Ohio State by 17 points one year then the next year losing by 14 points. We lost by less points this year....hooray!
No doubt. They’ll eventually pull the plug on it or change the model but my guess is it would be too embarrassing to admit failure now. The problem is compelling entertainment is difficult and expensive to create. And there is not much in the way of anything compelling offered by Peacock. NFL is literally the only guaranteed show in town.

No one, except the execs at Comcast, are investing in Peacock. It's a fledgling operation in a fledgling segment ... lack of profitability is not the determinant of its success or worthiness. Stop the madness, fellas.
Yeah, you don’t know what you’re talking about as usual. Yes, no one is investing in Peacock. They are a subsidiary of NBC which is owned by Comcast. So, they are not some venture capital startup. The shareholders of Comcast are not going to sit around while NBC flushes billions of their dollars down the toilet year after year. Fella.
It won't he around much longer with those financial results. Stop the madness.
Of course a business can't lose money in perpetuity, but, again ... this is a new product/service in a young sector ... they're still dumping seed/proof of concept money into it while tweaking the formula, as happens with many newer products/services.
Again, the assertion was that, because they were losing money, they suck. That, of course, isn't the case. It's a popular product in a relatively new sector and they're making strides in making it sustainable in the future ... will it work as currently constituted? TBD.
So you hurl an unfounded insult and then the next thing you do is agree with me, negating your initial insult. You’re just a troll … and not a good one. Good luck in your petty boycotting of everything that doesn’t agree with your worldview, and in trying to find things to be offended by. It seems like a pretty fulfilling use of your limited time on this planet.
Hey, are you really Tom McAndrew posing as this stalker Pitch guy so you can surveil the old neighborhood? Because I swear you have the exact same, smarmy, unearned “I’m better than you” vibe as he did.
The assertion wasn’t because they are losing money, they suck. The assertion was they suck. The proof of the assertion was they are losing their shirt. You’re not only annoying, you’re not very bright.
Now, show your work to the class, lil guy ... put forward both logical syllogisms.
I'll even help you out and save you some time and effort ... you can only put down one logical syllogism, because your "differentiation" is absolutely no difference at all.
You are really paranoid about, and preoccupied with, people talking down to you and thinking they're better than you. You should work on your issues.
When you talk about NBC, don't forget covering up for Harvey Weinstein and every other sex offender in the entertainment industry for several decades. And also covering up the origin of a worldwide pandemic that killed millions of people and cost trillions of dollars. Then again, it's not just NBC that did that, it was all the large media companies.
He didn’t help them when they won, either.
Religion is total bullshite. It is a grift, a con, a sham.
