Reading a lot of comments here about people “cutting the cord” and watching their teams with an HD antenna. Not an option here in Boston if you want to watch the local teams. With the exception of the NFL, 90% of each of the Celtics/Red Sox/Bruins games are on pay cable (NESN or ComcastSportsNet). Might see a game…

It’s hard to disagree with you there.

Chuck Jones was the master. And not just even Warner Bros. His vision if why “The Grinch that Stole Christmas” looked as great as it did, expanding upon Dr. Seuss’ drawings. Clearly the influence for the movie itself.

My family was a Nielsen family a few years ago. Aside from a stipend (don’t remember, like $50 every 6 months or so), it was more of a hassle than anything. Boxes on every TV in the house, so another appliance to go with the cable, DVD and video game systems. Another hookup for the router.

Jimmy Fallon is Kony.

What conference/division? I’m D-3 ECAC.

Correct. In the NCAA, once a player is considered a ball carrier (completed a catch and in the process of running in any direction, for example), he is no longer considered “defenseless”, because he is expected to believe he will be hit and tackled at any point. I don’t know what the NFL’s definition is, however, it…

I see. I didn’t know he was directly on the NFL Network. My statement was based on the fact he broadcasts golf and some other sports for CBS, in addition to NFL broadcasts, so I consider him more of a CBS employee shilling for the NFL.

He’s a CBS employee, not an NFL employee. That’s like saying I’m an employee of Heinz if I work in a store that sells Heinz ketchup. His store (CBS) is selling a huge product (NFL), and he will make sure his comments do not insult the vendor. Because the vendor can always decide to pull their product from the shelves…

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour. It took a few years for a new game after EA Sports ended its relationship and endorsement of Tiger Woods, but the first PS4 entry was incredibly weak. The create-a-golfer feature was very limited, it had barely 1/3 of the courses and real tournament names of the last PS3 version (before the…

The contact does not need to come from a helmet. As shown below, any forceable contact above the shoulders of a QB or defenseless player is targeting. I believe there was even one targeting call this year that came from a player’s thigh or knee, after the QB had already slide to the ground and given himself up.

September birthdays are the result of drunken New Year’s revelers looking for something to do during the cold, dark, empty month after Christmas.

Can’t the BBHOF make its own decisions? It’s not the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. It’s the National Baseball Hall of Fame, encompassing everything about baseball in America (and beyond). There are many exhibits inside that have nothing to do with MLB, like the Negro Leagues, the AAGPBL (A League of Our Own),…

Ainge: Wait, he did WHAT?!?!

Like a Randy Johnson fastball, this sailed over many heads.

Sgt. Hitler, SVU.

It was on ESPN2 (actually started on ESPNNews due to a game running late on the Deuce). ESPN2 picks up the feed from TSN, which is basically Canada’s ESPN (used to be same graphics and everything).

Real fun.

Every try Hammer & Sickle? It’s distributed locally to you in Tewksbury, so it’s on the shelves of a few Lowell area stores. I mean, if you’re going local with Ruble and Cossack, even Stickney & Poor’s (the salt and pepper packet people) out of Chelmsford has its own vodka.
