    Hopefully it lights a fire under Comcast, but I'm not holding my breath.

    Just so I'm clear. Was this Lawrence Millers doing originally?

    Well, it's a good thing Brian T. Smith writes for the sports section and not the business section, because he got the stuff about the merger completely wrong.

    GE owns 80% of NBC at present. The proposal is that Comcast will contribute some programming assets to NBC, GE will receive some cash, and as a result, NBC will be owned 51% by Comcast and 49% by GE.

    Comcast and GE are not merging with NBC or with each other. What it really amounts to is Comcast buying NBC from GE.

    Hey brother, I have a strong feeling we will be covering the Timber games on FSN, not CSN.

    Larry Miller didn't come up with the deal, Einstein.

    I dunno, it just could be part of it... not a good time to alienate fans or have less exposure, when a rapid growing sport and league is making its big leap in town.

    Good news! I'd be real suprised if there wasnt a deal with Comcast and the Dish's before the start of the season.

    But you are the Einstein that thinks a guy sucks because he couldnt stop Kobe in the playoffs. I'm still laughing about that one!

    I didn't say he sucks, ever. I said he isn't worth the full MLE. Reading is fundamental; perhaps you need a refresher course. Kobe had arguably his best playoff series since Shaq left with "stopper" Wesley Matthews trying to defend him. It was a post in response to a poster who compared Matthews to Bruce Bowen, or even Raja Bell, in terms of defense.

    Now THAT is fucking funny.
