The End Is Near: Streameast shutdown, RedZone hit with commercials, and the NFL hands the keys to YouTubers

The signs are all around us. Streameast is gone. RedZone is dead. The NFL has been infiltrated by YouTubers. If this isn’t the end times, then I don’t know what is. Hug your families and hold your brothers and sisters tight at the tailgate because the world of football we once knew is crumbling.

NFL First blow: Streameast.

The most beloved illegal streaming site in America has been sniped. Two guys in Egypt, laptops confiscated, crypto wallets seized, millions laundered through fake companies. The Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment, basically the big media corporations dressed up as the Avengers, finally shut down the one website that carried us all through Sundays when our cable login mysteriously “stopped working.” Streameast was never supposed to last forever, but damn it, we believed, and now it’s gone.

[UPDATED: FIGHT] – 4:13PM EST

We haven’t been shutdown

NFL Second blow: RedZone.

Scott Hanson, the patron saint of Sundays, has been compromised. The immortal words, “seven hours of commercial-free football,” have been struck from the record. Replaced by soda ads and insurance spots. Shareholder value has won.

The last pure thing in sports has been sold off to The Mouse. No longer can you count on Hanson’s iron bladder and devotion to the cause. Now you’re praying producers don’t cut to commercial right as your parlay hits.

Scott Hanson confirms NFL RedZone will have commercials in some capacity this season — which is something he has no control over.

The intro will be: “7 hours of RedZone Football start now.”

NFL Third blow: the YouTubers.

The NFL has opened the door to Mr. Beast and his influencer army. Highlights have been replaced with gimmicks. Analysis swapped out for “content.” We used to have Chris Berman yelling WHOOP! and rumbling through nicknames. Now we’ll have TikTok dances breaking down zone coverage. The league has traded tradition for clicks.

The NFL has teamed up with MrBeast (and other YouTubers) to promote Friday night’s Chiefs–Chargers game, which will stream exclusively on YouTube.

NFL… We’ve reached the breaking point.

No Streameast to save you. No RedZone to shield you. The suits have cashed in and left us wandering in the wilderness.

So what do you do? You grab your crew, pack the cooler, and get to the lot.

Thank you FanDuel for bailing out Philly and SEPTA and providing public transportation.

Hug your family. Hug your friends. Raise your drink and scream your lungs out at the tailgate. As everything around us burns, the only thing left that’s still real is that parking lot in South Philly, shoulder to shoulder with the people who live and die the same way you do.

Not that it mattered. Eagles fans were going to come anyways.

WE ARE COMING NO MATTER WHAT

The end is here. Make sure you’re with the ones who matter when it all goes down.
