    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    Kansas City are 7-0. With a differential of 50 pts. The New England Patriots in their one sack / helmet catch away from a perfect season were +159 point differential at Week 7. Meanwhile, the Patriots who were riding the longest win streak of the season at 1 game, lost in overtime. It was...

    MLB 2024 Season

    I remember going down to Times Square right after the Yankees took it in '96 after going down what seemed an unrecoverable 2-0 to Atlanta. Luckily it was a Saturday and we could just do that. It was a 45 minute ride on the subway to get there. It wasn't New Years Eve packed, but a rare time to...

    MLB 2024 Season

    I haven't seen the highlights, or lowlights as it sounds like it was. Five unearned runs?! How satisfying that'd been if it wasn't the Dodgers!

    LA v NY in the world series is nothing but a disaster. All you can cheer for is asteroid destroying Earth.

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    I hope not. This whole dynasty thing sucks when it isn't your team winning all the time. ;) This year, it appears to be Baltimore as the primary competition unless Buffalo hits their stride like the Giants did when they toppled the Patriots and stopped the 19-0 season.

    It was meant in jest. Obviously Congress isn't going to get involved.

    https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/23/sport/deandre-hopkins-trade-titans-chiefs-nfl-spt-intl/index.html Come on! Can't Congress do something to stop this?! The Patriots had to win Super Bowls by using what they had, not just signing whomever mad skills players mid-season.

    2024-2025 NCAA Football Thread

    Alabama lost to Tennessee which places them just below Vanderbilt in the SEC standings. Alabama has to win out and start hoping for an SEC collapse. Missouri and Vanderbilt can fall away, but there are five other teams in front of them that won't drop off as easily. What is something is Texas...

    Last & Next Movie Watched

    Wakanda Forever - This is a movie that no one wanted to make because of the passing away of Chadwick Boseman who, at least to comic purists, absolutely killed on the Black Panther. Shoe horning someone else into the role, especially this quickly (by Marvel standards), was unnatural and horribly...

    Guardians are out but had one of the best seasons a team with that payroll could have ever had. And they went down 4-1, but it wasn't as easy as that sounds.

    Last & Next Movie Watched

    Pulp Fiction - This marks the third time I've seen this film. Saw it in college, then got it on DVD when that became a thing, and then recently just now. I have multiple feelings about the film. I like how it is shot in 'no 0.5 secs a camera shot' mode. There are scenes where the camera follows...

    What? No ODI World Cup Thread?

    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...

    Looks like It’s official Directv Buying Dish

    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.

    Our Contract end again

    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.

    Looks like It’s official Directv Buying Dish

    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...

    Smart TVs are like “a digital Trojan Horse” in people’s homes

    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?

    Looks like It’s official Directv Buying Dish

    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...

    DTV & DISHTV, Wife said she heard they are merging next week on CNBC today?

    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...

    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...
