    NFL 2025-2026 Season

    Maye has accuracy issues here and there, but he threw a few beauties as well. Patriots and Dolphins come off of disappointing Week One starts to put together a rather interesting Week Two match up. Including back to back special team TDs (Punt return for TD and kick return for TD), multiple...

    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    Only thing to make it better would be to lower the DVR Equipment fee. That box is a beast.

    Except Florida. For god sakes son... never invest in land in Florida!

    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    Being allowed to sell it for a profit has to be lucky. If it is legitimately being squatted on, FCC should have the mechanisms to take it back and re-auction. This is a very peculiar move. Dish/Echostar profits off US property that was licensed to them. All of this is because of outside factors...

    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    Are they at least going to want that $2 billion back in any sort of deal? Yes, Dish is solvent again, but the number of asterisks for that statement are higher than average. He was able to get out from under crushing debt. However, the current climate in DC that allowed as such is unusual and...

    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    That is possible, but he did spend billions building out a mobile network. Additionally, there was a plan to use the spectrum for private corporate deals. 5G ended up underperforming for a lot of applications and the ability to monetize some of the spectrum likely contracted for Charlie. He bet...

    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    $8.5 billion in SpaceX stock!? Yipes! Of course. Almost like Charlie invented that plan to provide leverage desperately needed for the fire sale.

    I'll have three of whatever he's drinking.

    EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

    It should be noted that it was pressure from the FCC for Dish to sell the spectrum. Which seems illegal, but what is legal these days... seems to have shifted. So while a normal functioning FCC would be saying "Hey... wait a second..." Charlie might just pocket this. The only other people who...

    AT&T Aquires some DISH Spectrum

    Actually, Musk just recently bought into a biolab firm that was looking exclusively into doing just this. Expect an announcement in the next few months. ;)

    AT&T Aquires some DISH Spectrum

    On top would be Boost becoming a mobile phone powerhouse. Right now Ergen is getting out from under. If these sales stand, he'll be in a much stronger footing, but crawled through some muck to get there.

    AT&T Aquires some DISH Spectrum

    Sets a bad precedent for treating licenses as commodities. Yes, Ergen did build something out, but the intent of the auction was to auction the licenses to corps that'd use them. Meanwhile, in the new world order, does this fund the Echostar LEO internet plan?

    Failed 2 pt attempt in 1st quarter was the difference. So silly.

    NFL 2025-2026 Season

    Patriots solidly beat Raiders in 2nd Quarter. Drake Maye is showing the same very good to not so good throw targetting. Browns miss field goal and extra point to loae 17 to 16.

    WEC at COTA dealing with rain... and a failure in communication which led to pace car heading into pit... then with a bunch of cars, and others kind of just doing their own thing. Currently Alpine is in first as a result. Rain is letting up, but might be coming back very shortly. Ferrari has...

    In getting that together I saw Notre Dame paid Northrn Illinois over $1 million and still lost to them.

    2025-26 College Football

    Some huge winners in week two. LA-Monroe - $1.9 million Kent State - $1.5 million Troy - $1.5 million (uncertain if this is reduced to keep Clemson below 30 points) Grambling - $1 million Other schools with a notable weekend East Texas A&M - $500,000 And people still think College Football is...

    The FCC Will Allow ABC, CBS, FOX, & NBC TV Stations to Shutdown Free ATSC 1.0 & Switch to ATSC 3.0 Only

    Isn't that the problem though. Yes, the DVR and Netflix killed my ability to withstand commercials, but how does a local broadcaster survive without ad revenue?

    AT&T Aquires some DISH Spectrum

    Lost channels for extended periods of time... that was 10 years ago. Dish's weakness is sports. People are leaving because they can pay much less to get access to the programming they were paying for at other locations such as HBO Max and Disney+, which provide a rich amount of high-end content...

    Back to the Future 40th Anniversary

    Saw the movie a zillion years ago (on SelecTV?). Back when it was new. It was great. Saw the musical... with a good deal of special effect related delays. Wish they didn't make it a musical (other than the bedroom music sequence, that was great). It was a really good movie, but maybe a little...

    The FCC Will Allow ABC, CBS, FOX, & NBC TV Stations to Shutdown Free ATSC 1.0 & Switch to ATSC 3.0 Only

    My luck (after just getting HD Homerun without the 3.0, because who is broadcasting 3.0?), all the locals in NE Ohio will switch to 3.0 tomorrow.

    Herta to F1 as a test driver (???) and Will Power will drive the 26 for Andretti.
