unlimited cloud DVR and record everything. I used to delete any Tech losses so if I wanted to go watch a game I knew it would turn out good. Now I have to look it up if I don't remember it.

2 things that could be a factor: Disney+ and ESPN+ are now part of Hulu subscription, and Hulu has large on demand catalog; if you care about those. Everyone I know that has Youtube TV has been happy with its service though.

so if you're switching from linear to streaming, you're going to notice the drop to 720p

Just MNF and a small fraction of its MLB games. Although they've done a few CFB in 4K games per year (playoffs and some SEC matchups). At least with YTTV, the ESPN stream isn't highly-compressed like on Dish/DTV. The pixelation of the field on Dish used to drive me crazy.
Many local network affiliates broadcast over-the-air in uncompressed 1080i, which when combined with a quality video processor (i.e. non-entry Onkyo/Denon/etc. AVR), produces a really nice picture for sports.
I've personally never watched any football game where you could read the names on the backs of jerseys in the 22-man camera angle (and I have a 110" screen). That's pretty sad, considering where the technology could/should be. But the networks don't think anyone will pay extra for high resolution, so they typically broadcast garbage.
