Re: Tiger Baseball on TV

This could be the start of sports 'NASCAR' moment as the audience starts to drop off. To watch your favorite team like football and you will need 4 or 5 streaming services, at a cost, to see the games. How many people are willing to have all the premium services just to watch the NFL. Money first an...

Re: SCOTUS puts conservatives in a corner again.

I think that a lot of students deserve the same break on loans that the holders of PPP loans got. Those folks never paid in most cases a penny on multi million $$ loans from the Fed Gov. It was forgiven in many cases by the SAME people who took out the loans. It's a different world when a for profit...

Re: Sleuthing Digital TV Signal Problems

Question.... If Comcast gets local feeds via fiber, why the delay I've seen up to 30 sec. between OTA and cable Hi-def?

Re: Languages

Before I believe a 'poll' I would like to know the METHOD used to get the numbers. Phone calling? Standing outside a diner? or bumper stickers. So few people have land lines to call and most cell owners don't answer unless they know who's calling. Years ago I watched a Political Science professor sh...

Re: 4 Day Work Week

I worked at a company that seemed to shade the rules of scheduling of the staff. The 2,12 hour shifts would sometimes expected to do 5 days in a week and you were also on call other days. You also had to sign up for an extra day several times a month. The kicker was that everyone was tagged as salar...

Re: Bally Sports May Lose TV Rights to MLB Next Week

Bally on Amazon is OK because I have it. What irritates me is that OTA TV is there because of ads, but when I pay for access and then have to still endure the endless interruptions just like OTA something seems a bit much. I figure that Amazon will make it a tier package to suck more funds from spor...

Re: Fucking Covid

Sounds like my go-round with it also. 3 days before the scheduled booster shot, the crappy feel, but tested neg. Then next day the same and POS and it hit the pos mark the moment the test was touched and no waiting 15 min. before reading. Then the chills like I had once with a case of hypothermia. A...
