    We could trade Grant and a second round draft pick for Anthony Edwards and people would complain.

    I hear Edwards doesn’t like coffee so he won’t be any good in P-Town!

    Comcast is in my neighborhood today, digging up everyone's yard to install new fiber. So annoying. They would be my last choice on the planet. Just checked my DTV map and who knows if I will get any KUTV signal. It's "weak" in my area. I'll probably sign up for Blazervision, but hopefully they'll have a discounted rate. I have no need for the tickets, although that is a pretty solid promotion.

    Some businesses are better than others.

    This is what happens when you don't have regulation that forces businesses to behave responsibly and when you have Citizens United Which encourages those companies to write legislation that allows them to be more evil. Which our leaders have to support in order to get the money they rely on to be competitive in elections.

    Basically, this is how Republicans and corporate Democrats want it.

    But I digest...

    In all honesty, my family can no longer watch these games or record these games with what we have at home. I’m kind of complaining about that. I’m being told to buy an antenna, then what my family still can’t record the games. we haven’t sat down and watched a live TV in 20 years. So yeah, this is kind of lame.

    I’ll never forget being at a dinner with guys on the road that we’re all excited that we were moving from FOX Sports Northwest, to Comcast sports. I looked the guy in the eye, and asked him if my family will be able to watch these games on DIRECTV like they could on FOX Sports Northwest. He smiled and said we are working on a deal, and should be done in a month. My family wasn’t able to watch Blazer games for 16 years. That guy no longer works for the Blazers.

    If you have internet you can and you can bring the game up at any time and you can fast forward through commercials. These games will be on You Tube. You just have to figure out a new way to do it.

    I shared a link to a well-known box that comes with antenna and DVR. It's a $120 one-time purchase.

    That is a better option than anything anybody who was left out could have done in the last contract.

    I mean I'm sorry that you have to deal with some change, I do too. But this change is actually a very positive one.

    Now, if you do buy the antenna and tuner, you will always have access to local news and television. That's great for emergencies, extreme weather, power outages, cable outages, etc...

    It's honestly a good investment that most people should have in their homes. And this just gives you another reason to do that.

    And again you don't need the $120 option. There's also $25 option on Amazon that is not nearly as well known, but you'll also have to buy an antenna (though, in your location you could probably get away with just stuffing a paperclip in the port).
