How about Bob Iger going on the Manningcast during Monday Night Football to ham it up with the Mannings while 10 million YouTube TV subscribers couldn’t watch the game last night because Google and Disney both want to add another billion dollars in their coffers? Fuck this guy. At least customers were going to get an update on the broadcast dispute right? Lol. Via Sean Keeley at Awful Announcing:

The 74-year-old Iger, a lifelong Packers fan and franchise investor, appeared alongside Peyton and Eli Manning. The CEO waxed on about his favorite NFL team while donning a crisp Green Bay hoodie, and the Mannings threw several softball questions his way. The milquetoast interview was all preamble, presumably, leading up to some kind of question or segue for Iger to discuss the YTTV situation.

It never happened. After a few segments, the Mannings sent Iger on his way, everyone thanked one another for the pleasant time, and that was that.

What a shit show. The Mouse has no problem using their personalities to tell you where to go to complain that YTTV isn’t paying up, but when you have the head honcho on the program discussing a game millions aren’t able to watch (from a suite in Lambeau Field btw), a question providing an update for customers wasn’t in the cards. And I don’t even care that Eli and Peyton didn’t ask one. It saved us from some runaround PR answer Iger would give and then they’d go back to asking him questions like hot dogs or burgers on gameday? Still, you can add another shitty PR notch to Disney’s belt. Nobody has run a worse PR playbook than ESPN through this whole thing. Who thought it was a good idea to throw the guy who could get a deal done tomorrow in our faces? We’ve got College Gameday streaming on Pat McAfee’s Twitter account, for god’s sake. This isn’t Week 1 when Alabama is whipping up on Alabama A&M. We’re in the thick of a College Football Playoff race. It’s Week 10 in the NFL and divisions and playoff seeding are being decided. All people want to do is just watch the football they pay for. Last night I had to watch the game three plays behind on the NFL app because the service that I pay for has been blacked out for two weeks. Roger Goodell meddled more in the Sixers arena situation than he has with two league partners that are fucking his fans. Nobody hates their fans more than the NFL. I can’t wait for its day to come. This will be me:

Nothing I say here is really going to matter. Iger doesn’t give a shit what a Philly blogger thinks. He’ll still go vacation on his super yacht and light $100 bills on fire to stoke his cigars and I’ll be wondering if I can watch SVP on SportsCenter that night.

So instead I’ll hit him where it hurts:

Your QB isn’t elite and Caleb Williams is already better than him. Your wonder boy coach ain’t won shit and is dangerously close to being the worst coach in the division. Your Mickey Mouse organization was bullied by the NFL to cobble together a Tush Push ban proposal and you couldn’t even do that right. It failed like all of your playoff hopes over the last 15 years. Your fans are overrated and your 5-4 home playoff record over that same span proves the frozen tundra narrative is as overrated as your QB. No one takes you as a threat this year. And if Vince Lombardi didn’t win a couple Super Bowls back in the Lyndon B. Johnson administration they would’ve moved that team out of Green Bay years ago. Boom. Roasted.
