    It was Mrs HCP's group rate that really saved us some money

    Doubt we'll get an official announcement from the Trail Blazers today. Probably not until after the holiday weekend.

    Won't that depend on the contract?

    Bad news is typically announced on Fridays because not as many people pay attention to the news on weekends. Good news on Monday, but because of the holiday, Tuesday. If you're saying Tuesday then that is going to be really good news! Free streaming games! Free pair of Lillard shoes for every 10 games watched! HCP sent to work for the Lakers!

    I get ComCast bay area with the standard package with Dish TV. Why? Because the Warrior's required it when they gave the contract to ComCast.

    The statement from the Blazers smells. What else did they expect? Comcast gets little extra revenue having Blazer games on Dish or Directv. Perhaps they get less with less subscribers. If the Blazers don't require it in the contract, the fans will be screw again for the duration.

    Hopefully this announcement goes a little more in our favor than the free agency signings have/will.

    Hopefully it doesn't fizzle out like that deal did.

    Were DCS and Hold On To Your Shorts the same deal or different ones?

    I think lots of folks conflate DCS and HOTYS. DCS happened but HOTYS didn't.

    but iirc, the trade you said was the trade, wasn't exactly a super awesome trade. Thus, it fizzled out.
