Oh come on you guys! It's only a game.
Ha! Speak for yourself!
Oh come on you guys! It's only a game.
Ok, must be from one of the crap 1-3 movies, right??I have a very bad feeling about this.
Stretch out with your feelings.
Desire you must. Know how to serve them best, If you leave now, help them you could, but you would destroy all for what's they have fight and suffered.

Wow. You guys really put a lot of thought into these Dish contract negotiations. I think you all read into these a little too much.
You honestly believe Disney/ABC/ESPN isn't going to use Star Wars as major leverage? Like AMC used The Walking Dead for leverage. Disney will milk the Star Wars brand into oblivion. My gut feeling is we will be so saturated with Star Wars, fans will begin to hate it. Just like Paramont did to Star Trek.
ESPN (which is just down the street from me...) had a huge layoff this week. I talked to one of my friends at ESPN and he told me that it was due to their costs to the customers (like DISH) was growing at too high a pace and many cable and satellite providers can no longer absorb the price increases from ESPN. So they (ESPN) needs to make changes from within to make the channel palatable to its customers (ie the cable and satellite companies)
I honestly believe DISH and ESPN are working to get a deal done, as I said earlier they NEED each other.

No, it's not the American way.That brings up a thought. ESPN is one of the most expensive channels out there for program providers, satellite and cable. Many consumers are up in arms with those providers and their monthly costs for programming. We have to remember that ESPN's costs are not just what they pay out to sports teams but also include their internal overhead, read employees. So, it sounds like they are trying to lower their overhead by laying off employees. So, with that scenario, we have sports teams getting richer and more unemployment. Wouldn't it be nice if we could find a happy medium and have the sports teams lower their charges, even under present contracts, and keep some people working?
Leverage.I can't lose college football either, it is the best sport period! Nothing else comes close. I could live without espn in the summer. Why can't these negotiations end in the summer, why does it always seem to mess up college football?

Equal share of the blame goes to the multi-millionaire players as it does the multi-billionaire owners.No doubt this is the fault of all those pro athletes that demand those high contracts that they don't deserve. Please thank them all you can, that is why I don't watch pro sports. They say they love the fans but they don't care if their little extra that means nothing to them costs you your job. The same thing can be said about college coaches' salaries.
Sound logic.I think you will see a deal between the two as they both need each other.
Last week was Team Summit and Disney had a major presence at the event which to me is a good sign.
You had me at "Nah".Nah you guys are overlooking the people who really make the bills go up... The Sports Agents who get these guys $100 million dollar contracts.
I say the hell with Jerry McGuire!
