    F-ck. I though Direct TV was caving in to Pac-12 Network. Then I saw what they were demanding..... and the local sports fan gets screwed again.

    I demand at least 5000p.

    Color is optional.

    5000p black and white.

    Hmm, I don't know... I think it is highly plausible. Lets not give Comcast too much credit (any credit is too much).

    How does it work in markets without Comcast? Are games blacked out on league pass for all networks or is there a chance they wont be blacked out with ROOT?

    If true, it will certainly be a happy day in the barfo household when we say goodbye to comcast.

    But honestly think about it...No More Jason Quick!
    Do you think Talkin Ball is going to survive this? What about Quick's little dive into CSN?

    Kudos to Blazer management for fixing this broadcasting issue. Their hands were tied due to the contract they inherited. They clearly want to do right by the fans.

    Comcast wont ditch Root sports. Calm down boys. Mariners are far bigger than the Blazers. But I am happy that the Blazer monopoly is finally going to be over.

    120/month "digital premier" or whatever (so all channels including movie chans) + 150 internet @ Comcast.

    If you have to pay more, you need to renegotiate at your contract end date. My advice is to swap the person whose signing up, so they see it as a new customer. If they give you grief, go to DirecTV for 2 years; just flip flop the fucks.

    So what happens in the Spring when the Mariners and Blazers are on at the same time?

    Wait, so the Mariners own 70% of the channel, so they were negotiating with the Mariners?

    It's baseball. Calabro can cut away from the Blazer game once every 30 minutes when something interesting happens.
