I’m more pissed about Bloodline ending early (3 seasons vs the projected 5).

Your source doesn’t even mention the huge infrastructure rebuild on the NYC Subway system in the 1980's. Seems more like anecdotes than any real inside information .

Who said they would raise their fee to the level cable does, which deals with a middleman (content provider , then to cable operator, which features a markup)? They overpay, hoping it drives more subscriptions so that it mostly pays for itself, or retains the existing customer base.

That’s what they do for the NFL Network, which is less accessible to people than those with a decent internet connection. It’ll happen, because the provider - Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, etc - will overpay to make it happen.

WTF is with Eileen Carey? A celebrity fan cheering for a player from the AWAY Team should always be booed, or told to sit the fuck down. Nice way to stand up for Oakland, Eileen. I’m sure Rihanna was torn back when the Cavs traded Ron Harper for the Danny Ferry pick, diehard that she is.

I can’t stand Bill, but you’ll see streaming only for some, but not all, of the NFL package on an exclusive basis (say, Monday Night) pretty soon.

“(Why would the NFL, for example, cut Netflix or another streaming service in on the “rights” to sporting events, rather than just running them on NFL.com?) “ - Simple, because Netflix can pay a lot of money due to a huge subscriber base, the same way ESPN pays twice as much for Monday night football as NBC does for…

Bill Simmons just had an aneurysm.

Two Big Macs, 6 piece chicken mcnuggets, large fries, vanilla shake, apple pie, and that’s back when I was about 148 pounds. And that was lunch.

Birmingham? Ugh.

I’d say Miami Beach has St Pete Beat in terms of “active”.

Why would $439 for invitations seem like a lot? Hell, if you’re inviting 100 different parties, the cost of outgoing and incoming postage alone is about $100 to start with.

And, they can set fires to towns as well. Sharks? Ha!

I hope it’s better than Suicide Squad, whose trailers you guys kept shooting loads over.

Except of course under that scenario, Ryan Leaf would have come out early and Jets would have taken him. Or Todd Helton, claiming he was the TRUE QB talent at Tennessee.

I’m just quoting Barry.

Until one kid beats “Scientific Mapp”, don’t bother posting.

You also had silly things like Trout being moved to Left field - http://www.sbnation.com/2012/12/5/3733172/mike-trout-left-field-peter-bourjos-mike-scioscia-interview-mlb-winter-meetings

Recall when Trout came up for a cup of coffee and was sent down? I’m not saying Bourjos is better, but check the stats when he came up and was sent down.
