Are you sh1tting me, Chico?? I was kidding. Frankly, I have no probs with LW. I think the whole drama about him is just that.

I couldn't tell you were joking...sorry.  I'll turn up the sarcasm-radar next time.

No worries Keefer Madness. Real men don't swing with teal!

I find the convention of teal = sarcasm a bit odd. Besides, I am not sarcastic but satirical. There is a difference.

I'm a big fan of both sarcasm and satire.  But on this board, I've concluded it's just better to use teal.

Can't we all just get along, hey?

Thanks for this.  As I posted on the website I don't have any problem paying it since I can watch UEFA/Europa league plus Big East basketball.  That versus paying the Big Ten network the same amount and never watching a single game.

The challenge is that a lot of people don't watch it and don't want to pay for it, but these networks are requiring 80%, 85%, 90% distribution.  I know you are ok with, as am I, but only about 20% to 30% of people care about sports but 80% to 90% are footing the bill.  Interesting times ahead in that regard.

I recently noticed that for FiOS where I live, they moved Speed channel right under the ESPN channels where before I think it was in the Lifetime/Hallmark channel section.

Yup, FOX is asking distributors to do that....of course there is tremendous "value" to being in certain locations on the dial.  Everything is negotiable.
