No, your dad just liked black box.

Flashbacks of watching ESPN Sunday night baseball during the years of my youth. Jon Miller and Joe Morgan ran that shit.

Jon Miller is awesome. I'm not even a Giants fan and I would throw on my Extra Innings and listen to the radio side of a game just for him.

Do the same for Vin Scully.
 
Shit is confusing. NBC is CSNW? Finkle is Einhorn? Einhorn is Finkle???

NBA does suck for blacking out local games. That is just straight bullshit, but most likely will never change as they want people to get their asses to the arena, or buy the TV package from which ever company is selling it in their area (comcast for us..)

I wish DirecTV had Pac-12 and blazer games.... I miss my Beavs n' Blazers, but it's a small sacrifice to pay for the satisfaction of not paying comcast ---- (aside from my internet, which I have no choice.... which will hopefully change in the future)

Im sure the rest of your post had some great points and info but after this part I was laughing too hard to even pay attention. Well done and repped
 
NBC Universal was sold by GE to Comcast in 2013.

That makes it about clear as mud. Corporate shell game.

I'm guessing here (since I'm too lazy to research), but this:

CSNNW --> NBC Universal --> Comcast?
Click to expand...

CSNNW = The TV network that brings you Blazers, Ducks, Beavers programming, etc. Available on Comcast Cable and other cable providers such as Fios.

NBC Sports = The corporate group that CSNNW lives and operates under along with all the other CSN Regionals, Golf Channel, NBC Sports Network, etc.

Comcast = Your cable/internet company.

NBC Universal = The parent company of everything.

It would be more accurate to call us NBC Sports Northwest.

NBC Universal is a conglomerate of a number of cable and TV networks. They include NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, Bravo, E!, USA, Syfy, and I presume the various CSN outlets. Some of the Bulls games are on CSN in Chicago.

Kevin says he's been working at CSN since 2007, which would be in the days it all was owned by GE.

In any case, it should probably take the format of an "ask me anything". Have one of the reporters register on the forum and answer questions in a post for an hour at an agreed upon time.

This might not be a bad idea. We could then take the transcript of AMA and post it on CSNNW.com as a blog for all our readers to see with some links back to other forums topics they might be interested in.

The forum topics are available via RSS: http://sportstwo.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=123

This means you could create a box on your WWW site with links to our recent topics, and the links will change automatically via the RSS feed. Your webmaster would understand how to set this up.

I don't think he means any harm but it doesn't you just a smidge that he has walked into your house trying to recruit your members away?

When Kevin says, "start a forum feature," I think he means, "start a feature involving RC2," not "poach RC2 posters to fill a different forum."
 
How about CSN looks into being available everywhere in the state?
 
man this is what I get for actually working yesterday.

Is it too late to add my "F You Comcast, I cant watch games because you guys are Dicks" cause if not??? I have about 6 or 7 years of anger towards you :)

It's never too late but it won't actually do any good. I don't work for "Comcast" and don't have anything to do with TV deals but that's already been re-hashed a few times in the thread already.

haha just flipping ya crap. :) I've already given up hope of ever actually being able to watch my favorite team. (comcast isnt an option in Hood River) so only thing I can do is let my interest wane in the Blazers to where they get less and less of my disposable income (1 game total in 4 years now, when it was 15-20 per year before) and teams like the Timbers gets thousands from me :cheers:
 
Some of your complaints are starting to sound like a bad country song.

"Comcast wrecked my truck.."

"Then stole my dog..."

"When I came home my wife was gone..."

They probably view it as something trivial as that.. then talk like something can happen, while in reality all that happens is a 7 year circle jerk at headquarters.

The blame for the Comcast contract falls on Larry Miller. Comcast negotiated themselves a really good deal. If you can have a monopoly on all the taco trucks that worked the Columbia gorge you'd take it. And when HCP came to wanting to run a taco truck you'd laugh and then tell him to get lost.

But... this thread is about trying to see if CSNNW and RC2 can team up for somethings.
 
yes, everyone here would create an alienating heartless monopoly if given half a chance...wtf man
