Larry Miller:streaming SOON!

[PapaG]

You whined about Comcast when you have the opportunity to switch. I merely brought up that in Portland, I choose to have Comcast so I can watch the Blazers' road games at home. I sacrificed Sunday Ticket, which means I have to go to a bar to watch my Skins. Calling Seattle "local" is where your argument goes off the rails. Portland doesn't have a local NFL team. Salt Lake City's "local" team is the Broncos; is it reasonable to call them "local" or are they just the team geographically the closest? There's a difference.

Using "Sunday Ticket" as your argument is where you went off of the rails. No surprise you won't own up to it now. Also, are you saying that the NFL should consult you for what constitutes their local market?

Anyhow, this is stupid, you need to "win", so whatever. Later. Add in your final few posts "for the win".

I don't care what the NFL calls my "local" market. Seattle may be the closest market to Portland, but it's not local. Portland doesn't have a "local" NFL team. That was my point.

I agree this argument is stupid. You seem to participate in one of these useless threads where you try to eek out some ever-shrinking point just to have someone admit that in some legal, specific point you may be right. I prefer to focus on the bigger picture: You have a choice and you choose not to exercise it. In no way, shape or form is that anyone's problem but yours.

The NFL considers basically the entire NFC and AFC west as Oregon market. It's always fun to consistently see shitty teams play each week, and that isn't even counting division games!

Well, I was arguing your original larger point about Sunday Ticket v. Comcast as a comparison, and you narrowed it down to what the NFL considers a local market versus what you feel is a local market, but whatever. I'll shoulder the blame, if that makes you feel better.

yeah, I know, I was just being literal for fun.
But gas bend-portland-bend is probably $20 bucks at least, so if you buy gas and a $10 ticket to the game, you can attend less than 3 games for the (estimated) price of the internet feed. Add in a beer or a slice of pizza at the RG, and you are down to two games.

I am in Portland about once a month as most of my relatives still live up there. So gas cost does not figure in. I don't buy food at the games as it's not edible IMO. I sometimes buy a beer, but I do that at home anyway, and eat a lot more at home.

I stand by my 8 game estimate.

So if my choice is pay good money for a crappy internet feed, something I already get for free, or not pay AND still get the crappy internet feed AND get to see 8 games in person...

I can subscribe to DirectTV. I choose not to do so. Instead, I spend my Sunday mornings in a bar.

It's so good of you to share the gospel with those poor souls poisoning themselves. I didn't realize Libertarians have a common touch. Good for you, and God go with you.

You know Papa, 6 years ago I thought you were an insufferable prick, but I've liked your stuff since I started reading a few days ago. Tonight, after watching you outlast the political Energizer Bunny, I think you're the greatest. This is the best matchup on this board. You are the coolest. I'll even take Blake's side over Miller to keep you comfy. As long as you keep producing. Otherwise I go back to the dark side.

Love,
Gordon Gekko

P.S. If you can get his wife to post for him, you will get extra points. Find out if she too extricates herself with, "Well I believe we're at war, so that justifies [insert evil here]."

This may be one of the greatest S2 posts of all time. Repped.

You don't have to drink when you go to a bar. I shouldn't have to tell you that. Usually, it's just a bunch of football lovers drinking coffee and watching a bunch of different games.

God, I own you and I didn't even try. Get over me; I don't swing that way..

nba league pass broadband is finally up. Access to every team for $135 or 7 teams for $90, this is more than last year it was $80 to access all teams if you sign up early. I wish they had an option for just one team for a little less. I don't know if people in the blackout area can get creative and have someone outside of the blackout area sign you up or maybe you can use proxies to get around that issue. good luck!

Now you are just being obtuse. NY to Boston does not = Portland to Seattle in terms of a market. You know this, though. Seattle includes Portland as its NFL market.

As far as I'm concerned any sports team not in my state, is not my team!
