Auburn LB Derick Hall

Great story!


Born DEAD at just 23-weeks gestation, Derick Hall's mom had to fight for his life. Now, 22 years later, the 6'3, 250-pound outside linebacker was just drafted into the NFL by the Seattle Seahawks. 🤯

Derick Hall says he owes his success to his mother’s advocacy for his life as a barely viable preemie baby in 2001.

“The doctors wanted me to just let nature take its course. We decided we wanted to fight for him," says his mother, Stacy Gooden-Crandle.

Derick had little chance of surviving after birth, with bleeding in his brain and many other issues. He was tiny enough to be held in the palm of his mom's hand for five months.

“My mom is my queen,” Derick said. “She is everything to me, how hard she worked raising two kids by herself at first, working two or three jobs. She's my Superhero. She's my Wonder Woman. She's the person who kept me living."

NFL fans will need to subscribe to Peacock if they don't want to miss a playoff game

NFL fans will need to subscribe to Peacock if they don't want to miss a playoff game

By: Callie Lawson-Freeman - Yahoo! Sports

The NFL forayed into exclusive streaming with Amazon Prime last season. Now, the league is diving deeper.

Peacock will air the first-ever exclusive live streamed NFL playoff game, NBCUniversal and the NFL announced Monday. It will be a primetime wild card matchup on Saturday, Jan. 13, 2024.

Luckily for those that don't intend on subscribing to Peacock, fans in the markets of the two teams playing will be able to watch on local stations.

The exclusive game will be streamed immediately after another wild card game that will air on NBC and stream on Peacock.

NBCUniversal, which owns Peacock, reportedly paid in the range of $110 million to stream the game, according to Joe Flint and Jessica Toonkel of the Wall Street Journal.

NFL Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of NFL Media Hans Schroeder said the deal is key for the league to grow.

"Expanding the digital distribution of NFL content while maintaining wide reach for our games continues to be a key priority for the League, and bringing the excitement of an NFL playoff game exclusively to Peacock's streaming platform is the next step in that strategy," he said in a statement.

The distribution of NFL content is definitely diverse. Games this season will appear on CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN, ESPN Plus, ABC, NFL Network, Amazon Prime and now Peacock. Like Peacock's wild card game, the Falcons vs. Jaguars game in London be exclusive to ESPN Plus.

Peacock will also host an exclusive NFL regular season game for the first time this season. The primetime AFC matchup will see Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers host Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday, Dec. 23.

NBCUniversal is apparently looking to diversify just like the NFL, as Peacock was the overwhelming home for baseball and Premier League action last year.

Amazon doesn't divulge specific numbers, but when the company's exclusive NFL games were announced, industry estimates placed the platform's U.S. subscribers anywhere between 147 million and 172 million members. That meant most U.S. NFL fans were most likely already subscribed.

The same may not be true for Peacock, which had 21 million paid subscribers in the first quarter of 2023, per Statista. That puts the company in an interesting position as it faces a potential influx of new paid subscribers, or an expensive playoff game with low viewership.
