"We think we have the most fan-friendly model there is of any sport or entertainment as far as distribution."
The NFL and its executives push back on any criticism of its use of various streaming platforms. Story: espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

"Carr's latest campaign to menace the hosts of The View and destroy the independence of broadcast media may just make him a household name. Because this time ABC and its parent company Disney are fighting back, exposing his blatant misconduct as he schemes to censor media outlets for refusing to toe the MAGA line." publicnotice.co/p/fcc-brendan-…

@aakashgupta Stop, the Acolyte was cancelled because it was horrible.

Since Rise of Skywalker closed the Skywalker Saga in December 2019, Disney has announced at least 10 new Star Wars theatrical films. Zero have made it to a theater. The one that finally broke the streak is a $166 million repackaged Disney+ TV season.
Rian Johnson's trilogy, Benioff and Weiss's trilogy, Kevin Feige's film, Patty Jenkins' Rogue Squadron, Taika Waititi's project, Damon Lindelof's Rey film, Steven Knight's Rey film, Guillermo del Toro's Jabba movie, James Mangold's Dawn of the Jedi, Dave Filoni's Mandalorian team-up film. All announced with press releases. All dead, parked, or delayed.
Then Lucasfilm did the simplest thing possible. They took what was going to be Mandalorian Season 4 and moved it to theaters.
The budget is the tell. $166 million, per the California Film Commission. Rise of Skywalker cost $416 million. Force Awakens cost $638 million. Even The Acolyte, the Disney+ show Disney canceled for being too expensive, came in at $230 million. The Star Wars theatrical film restarting the franchise costs less than the Star Wars streaming show they just killed for costing too much.
The math only works if you understand what broke.
Disney paid $4 billion for Lucasfilm in 2012 planning a Marvel-style theatrical engine. When Rise of Skywalker landed badly with fans, they pivoted. Star Wars was moving to Disney+. The Mandalorian was the anchor. Disney+ then ran up $11 billion in cumulative operating losses before reaching profitability, and Iger called the aggressive streaming push a mistake in 2023.
So now the flagship Disney+ show is the movie that has to restart theatrical. A TV cast. A TV director. A story originally planned as a streaming season. Running a summer window against Mission Impossible and Marvel.
What you're watching in that trailer is a $4 billion acquisition, six years of aborted directors, and a collapsed streaming thesis all being carried on the back of one puppet baby.

@BROKENBRITAIN0 Isn’t that guy friends with sleepy Trump. Another Trump Puppet.

Talked to few defensive coaches on new #Giants IDL Bobby Jamison-Travis.
- Biiiig body. No lie there. Guy is 6-3, 328
- While clear the Giants are trying to replace Dexter Lawrence, Jamison-Travis isn't nearly the athlete he is.
- He dropped in part because of conditioning. Was told by one coach he struggled to finish his pro day because he was getting winded.
- He is the traditional, big-bodied DT the #Ravens always seemed to have in the middle of their defense.

@rydunleavy Bobby Jamison-Travis a C? That’s woefully too low and not based on the write up. Sounds more like disappointment but taking a DL sooner.

Grading every #Giants pick and an overall #nfldraft class that seems uniquely suited to them at the top.
I gave out one A+. nypost.com/2026/04/25/spo… #nygiants

@JustinPenik @TalkinGiants Run defense. Come on, there’s more than just sacks for d linemen.

#Giants star Dexter Lawrence is being traded to the #Bengals in a pre-Draft blockbuster that includes the No. 10 pick heading to the Giants, per me and @MikeGarafolo.
NYG gets premium draft compensation, Cincy gets a lynchpin, while Sexy Dexy gets a new, big-money extension.
