Sports are a waste of three hours every night. I could be spending that time writing my shitty novel or writing music that makes people want to kill themselves because it's so bad.

I got to the point where I realized that sports were having more of a negative effect on me than a positive one. When the Ducks get to the championship and lose, it makes me feel like shit.

When the Blazers piss away a lead in the WCF, I feel like shit.

Is it worth it? Hobbies are supposed to make you feel good. On balance, if you really think about how many moments of pure joy we have had compared to moments of utter sadness, wouldn't you say that the moments of sadness vastly outnumber the moments of joy?
 
Note: CSN is mobile-locked on VUE meaning you can't watch it on a phone/pad except on your home wifi-network.
 
Well, if that's the case, I hope everyone cuts the cable and goes straight to vue only... cut into their money as much as they can.

Exactly. Plus, my wife hates the sports, and hates it when I get angry about sports. Happy wife, happy life.
 
For Blazers fans fed up with Comcast and satellite television, SONY Vue offers an interesting — and less expensive — alternative. The online television service, which quietly started carrying CSN last Spring, features a surplus of channels — and Blazers games — at a fraction of the cost of cable and satellite (around $30). It features a free trail, does not require a contract and is accessible using PlayStation devices, Roku, Amazon Fire and Google's Chromecast.
 
I'm looking at the PS Vue website and I don't see CSN offered in any of the packages ...

EDIT: Nevermind, my corporate network defaults to Phoenix

Oh, well, I didn't know that.

Doesnt change the fact that its a complete and utter joke, and they just took a big ol' dump on the fans.

I will never again, as long as Mcgowan is here, ever think he is for the fans.

How? They took less money to ensure as many people can view the games.

Root sports is partly owned by directv. You dont think directv would think it was awesome to dick around with comcast and tell.them to fuck themselves?

Keep in mind, this directv is a company not willing to agree to pac 12 network terms thats dish, comcast and frontier have all agreed upon. They are just as petty as the others.

Makes complete sense what the blazers did

Pac 12 is a snoozefest, but that's an opinion of mine.

My ideal world is that they all go belly-up, so my opinion of them is trash anyway.
 
Google Chromecast is $35.
Roku stick is $49.
 
As someone living in MI, I watch every game. They may not be the best quality, but they're free...
 
I'm out of the area, but with DirecTV and NBALP, I got all the games. I had a choice of home or away announcers, too. I used the NBALP streaming service a lot and had the same choices. There's an NBA iPad app that streams the games, and for iPhone, too. I assume for Android as well.

Seems like between Vue and NBALP, who's not covered?
