    Saw a picture on twitter of the two huge screens at The Vessell in NYC and it had the disclaimers on them that there is no longer an ESPN feed on them instead of the game. Hilarious. Thousands of people looking up trying to watch the game and see that instead.

    When are people going to realize that Disney does this as a way to raise up their rates after the overpay for deals like the NBA? They did the same thing to Spectrum the year before. ESPN is hemorrhaging money and need to try and up their rates to these cable/satellite companies, who yes will just pass it along to the consumer.

    dug this out of a Blazers Edge article

    "ROOT has lost almost two-thirds of its subscribers in ten years, falling from 3.3 million to just 1.2 million today"

    I guess the Mariners own Root ?? The folks up there blame cable companies and "contract restrictions"

    blah blah blah, whatever

    I'm glad Jody jumped off a sinking ship.

    It's almost as if all these businesses are trying to make money. The horror.

    I just love how whatever cable/satellite provider is usually the scapegoat in all this and not the even larger corporation!
