    No apology necessary. I saw your second post and that makes sense. MLS will just always be irrelevant to me, personally. I never took interest in soccer.

    Who did he trip over in his home? Are there dead bodies laying around, or was Mrs HCP just enjoying her afternoon?

    Understood. This sorta has some ties to the Blazers. Just was texting with the Director for the Timbers broadcasts. He is a ROOT employee and says this we be the end of the ROOT broadcasts. Wonder if that means ROOT will throw more into keeping the Blazers once this deal is up. Maybe offer more money and viewing options like streaming?

    I really do not want to sign up for another streaming service. Watching the Timbers would make me atleast look into it. If the Blazers also move to Apple, it would ne hard not to get a subscription.

    Yeah I don't own an Apple anything, and I would get a subscription to watch Blazers in a browser. Though I used to own an Apple IIe...

    Same here. I help a lot of family with tech questions and stuff, but once they bring an Apple product to the table I tell them to take it to somebody else. I would look into an appleTV or something though if that's the way the Blazers went.

    I am not a huge fan of Apple technology products (they are good products, I just think there are better options out there), but Apple TV+ is not a technology product, it is a streaming product. I do not think there is really any difference between that and Netflix, for example. They both work on my FireTV (I am not an Apple TV+ subscriber, but I can see that the app is available) and should work in any browser, so I am not sure what the big deal is as far as Apple TV+ is concerned.

    I'm aware that that there is a difference. I meant that I would look into getting the below product if the blazers did decide to make that move.

    Well I know I have 32 1st cousins, so I’d think that number is about correct HA!

    Every member of my family has an iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. I also have a MacBook for work and we have an iMac at home. SEEMLESS media sharing. User friendly for the non mouth breathers out there.

    We are an Apple family. And have one of this gen Apple TV you linked. And the current model with the new upgraded remote. I promise the remote alone makes the newer one more worth it. Though if you have some 3rd party universal remote then that might not be an issue.

    ?

    The point is that there aren't almost 900 million Mexicans living outside of Mexico.

    Not sure if I am reading it correctly, but it says MLS would be free to season ticket holders. I would love that but am guessing they roll the cost into my tickets.

    Not sure if the Blazers would be the same.
