    Fox Sports Net, etc...

    Remember, that Phila got cable 6 years after most of the metropolitan areas around here. Because each councilperson cut their own deal for their district. I wouldnt go back to comcast if they paid me. They are the worst set of crooks in the area.

    HA!!! The Yankees Lost!!!!! (YES N.)

    How are the Yanks an "Evil Empire"? Because he spends money? Love or Hate George, you have to admit, he's commited to winning. He could just as easily limit the Salaries to 100 mil and put the additional money in his pocket! Think about that 75-100 mil per season that he's spending and not...

    Dish adds two Indian Channels

    Im sure you guys are aware that the label "indian" really doesnt apply to these folk. The europeans who landed here thought they were in india. The folk you are referring to are Native americans. Real Americans if you will. not indians. :yes

    Finally Got Something From Dish

    Look, this is "free market" economics at its best. Thomas Paine opined that in a free market, each party will act in "it's own self best interest". This is what makes the system work. E* is doing whats best for them as a company. Now did he hold a gun to his head, threaten the CSR's family...
