Just provide the CONCRETE EVIDENCE, shouldn't be a problem for you if you have it.

WE ALL HAVE IT...Your the Moderator of it!!! LOL!!

Are you trying to tell me you have no recollection of any of the events I've just described? Are you trying to tell me the archives in this very forum aren't filled with coversations on those very topics?

Look...just because I took you to school, don't try to beat me up in the playground...ok? Get over it...

arguing with a mod isnt the brightest move first off and all he is asking is for the proof...which you havent provided yet

I am so not going to answer that...lol...
actually you already did in another thread :rolleyes:

Ice...come'on...lets be adults here...

we are being adults here. You're the one who is dodging the simple question of showing the evidence that backs up your statement that you have said. Scobuck asked for it.

For 4 pages here you asked us for evidence and we showed it now we're asking for your evidence to back up your statement and you dodge the question and act like a child

I asked him if he recalls the events that have taken place...

These aren't interpretations or assumptions...these were actual events Sco and i have previously discussed...very different...

if he doesn't...oh well...
 
I am not saying Vampz is wrong or right, but I am curious myself to see what the cost difference between EI a couple of years back compared to now. Would there be anyway to find out what MLB charged the providers for EI???
 
All we know for sure based on what is documented in this forum and other news sources, is that Directv's bid to keep it exclusive drove the price up...

Of course, the people who can't seem to prove their point are now splitting hairs over it...but thats to be expected...
 
both can be blamed

Dish for not picking up MLB EI
MLB for tieing the two together

I guess we'll just have to see what happens :)

Your right there! But dish didn't want to carry MLB EI becauseof very high costs too. So I would say it is more of MLB's fault on this.

Yes MLB did tie the two together, but if the carrier has the MLB EI package they don't have to have MLB channel in that package. Very Odd!

How do we know it actually drove up the price without any financial disclosure?

I made it very clear, I was only basing my point on what was stated as Charlies reasoning, and what was the current news of the day back then...all of which is readily available for viewing in the satguys archives...all of which is very clear. Not much open to interpretation in an article such as this...

Granted thats only part of the story, the beginning...but read some of the posts by very prestigeous members of this forum...fills in a few blanks.

Hey...no personal attack necessary...

All I was asking was some form of proof that there was an ultimatim...news release or otherwise...not some 'interpretation of a news release' which is all I was given.....

As for me, this forum is FILLED with news releases based on what Sco is asking...I don't even know where to begin providing the proof other than to tell him where to look...(but he should know...)

I don't have time to read the entire thread, so I only read the first post which contained the article in question. I did not see where Charlie said that the price was driven up. Unless you can point to a particular post in the 6 page thread.

Of course Direct would drive up the price to get exclusive rights, but since they were not able to do so, Direct would then not pay the same higher price they would have if it was exclusive to them.
