Guardians head to The Bronx!

Meanwhile in the world of Cricket, an absolute bonkers of a match in Pakistan between the home nation and England. Pakistan hit 556 in their first innings (that is a lot!). Three players with a century (100+ runs), think of it like a basketball player scoring 50 points. England goes up to bat...

Tigers are peaking at the wrong time for people in NE Ohio. It isn't like Cleveland was slumping into the playoffs either. Three games, three shutouts. Tigers can close it off tonight and ruin what was a rather miracle-like season for the Guardians... or Cleveland can take it back to Ohio for...

That level of stuff is years down the road. I would presume in order to use Dish's agreements, they'd need Dish equipment and to use Dish sats.

WHAT?! I see thread after thread about people getting upset their $40 to $60 discount they arranged for 12 to 24 months has expired. It seems like Dish (I can't speak for Directv) is willing to cut out a good deal of the cost to keep subs.

But both companies have streaming rights. If this were just Sat, maybe not the best idea, but there is a model to move forward. It will die off eventually, but TPG already had the bloated, decaying carcass of Directv. For $1 and acquisition of some debt, they got some uniquely tight...

Well, if people demanded it and made it a broad priority a "Digital Bill of Rights" is within the realm of possibility. I think you are nuts thinking you are secure via a VPN. Also, do you have all those Facebook / Google Analytics trackers at most websites turned off?

Well yeah. No one thinks Sat TV is a game winning into the future model. TPG is getting Dish for a song. Actually that'd be soccer "channel" and not even that any more as the EPL is on USA, not a standalone. FSC hasn't be around in a long time, and NBCSN has been gone a while too now. European...

Not remotely similar. Sinclair overleveraged itself to buy the RSNs to use as a proxy to make lots of money via gambling. They forgot about the word "licensing" and the plan blew up in their face, and they went to a really bad Plan B. TPG has cash. TPG could scuttle this long-term, but I've...

My bad. It was away at Vanderbilt.

Alabama drop 6 whole spots to 7th with loss to Vanderbilt. Not exactly certain how in the world it is possible to statistically parse defeating a school that hasn't lost in a few years... and losing at home to... Vanderbilt. How many teams in the top ten could beat Georgia... how many would lose...

:clapping

Refs are gonna need to get creative now.

Wouldn't expect to but Vanderbilt is in the lead with 2 minutes left.

Vanderbilt are leading Alabama at halftime. Vanderbilt has never defeated Alabama*. * - since 1984

Guardians win easy in Game one. :)

TPG is publicly traded. I'm not certain if that makes their filings the filings from heck, because they are listing the financials of a bazillion or so corporations they own. Or whether they all go under a single line item in an SEC filing.

Oh, one other thing, does Ergen hold onto Dish's trademark of Soon (tm) or does TPG get that too?

In time, maybe, but right now, they effectively remain two different companies operating under different agreements with varying channel providers. It would be unwise to hike the rates of Dish subs more than they already have at this point for the year.

Presuming the Yankees play in prime time. Kansas City, Detroit, and Cleveland are not the largest markets. Imagine any manner of dark magic being played out to ensure the Mets win. :D

Echostar is, not as much Dish. Didn't realize private equity firms were going public. I can't see Echostar voting this down. How much of TPG is in the wild to vote it down?

Hoping the ALDS is during the daytime in Cleveland/Detroit. Lows in Cleveland to be in the low 50s which isn't terrible, but if it includes a breeze off the lake, it won't be particularly comfortable. Upper 40s next week for the lows.

Wait... the team only wants the city to spend $300ish million? That is like a freebie. The Haslams want a billion or so for the existing football stadium in Cleveland, which isn't even 30 years old.

Boost has the deal of new iPhone / Galaxy each year for $60 or $70 a month, so they do have that going for them.

They need to pass a law that forces streaming companies to advertise the start of the stream and the start of the event. Such a first world problem, to get set for the stream at 10:30... and the screen reads, 'This broadcast will begin shortly'... like in a half hour!
