    this makes no financial sense with over $20 million per game what they are reporting

    it makes even less sense considering that CBS has said "pass" , there is not a chance in hell Fox bids that and no one else is going to step up to compete with that so ESPN is bidding against themselves

    the new deals for the Big 10 average $440 a year and then if you include the last Big 10 Network payments of about $8 million per team (and probably declining because of recent cable company drops and new members) you still get to $552 a year and that is for 100% of everything the Big 10 has in ALL sports

    so we are suppose to believe that ESPN is going to pay 59.8% of that the Big 10 gets for EVERYTHING to get 15 to 17 SEC SEC SEC football games and their CCG

    and they are going to do that with CBS pulling out of negotiations completely and there being very little chance that Fox comes close to an offer like that and no other competitors

    or to put it a different way they expect every cable subscriber in the USA to pay ESPN $.30 cents per month more just for those 18 games......which will probably be $.50 cents after cable MSO add ons and taxes

    that is not a ton of money per person, but still that is a pretty ridiculous expectation for that amount of content

    I'm not sure if you are aware, but it's been proven over the last few years that ESPN is run by a bunch of morons.

  2. Man, I can only hope the third day of the Sri Lanka / Pakistan second test cricket match can match the drama of this game. Yeah, I'm not going to hold out hope on that one but I'll be watching it until I fall asleep any way. 

    Great game tonight.  Hope tomorrow's games are this good.

    Start at post 1303 in the Shits Borked thread. He went nuclear on Imma today about some shit that didn’t work on the site and he got banned for it.

    Dude is a big time whiny cunt but I always catch shit for calling him out on baseball threads.  Good riddance.

    You're right about that.

    That's some of the best team speed that I've seen in a while. 

    And yes, they will knock the shit out of you.  

    Can't wait for the Duncanville / North Shore rematch tomorrow.  Both of those teams will take the speed and hitting ability to an even higher level.

    ill say this here but never on the football board, but Drones is a Herman type qb. He just needs to grow a little. greg ward jr type 

    Couple of years in a college strength program will do him a lot of good.

  6. NFL meh.

    College is closely approaching meh.

    But the Texas HS state championships are always a joy to watch.  Even though I rarely have a real rooting interest, this is easily my favorite football of the year to watch at any level.
