    After a lot of reading about it last night, Sinclair Media is trying to have a monopoly in the broadcast world and they almost do by now. Fox no longer owns the RSN's. Big Fox only owns Fox, Fox Sports 1 and 2 and some others like BTN. Disney bought up the Fox Sports RSN's but the feds made them sell it. Sinclair bought it and in less than a year, 4 carriers dropped them. Dish, Sling, Fubo and now YTTV. The last 3 were huge players in the cord cutting world. Especially for sports. YTTV was $35/month in the beginning and had anything a sports fan could want. It then went up by $15/month all because they added HGTV and their channels. I got away from cable to get away from all that useless channels to me. Now they don't carry a huge selling point which were the Fox Sports RSN's, which broadcast the local teams for so many areas. And how convenient that the only cord cutting service that now carries them is Hulu, which is owned by guess who? Disney. Who originally had them. Some think Sinclair is in bed with them and purposely forced the other carriers out of the market to drive more business back to the original owners at Disney. It's all a bunch of bullshit and us customers suffer.

    YTTV is definitely going to lose a lot of subscribers as so many took to the internet to say they are switching and cancelling. But they are going to save about $450-500 million every year not having to carry them. So they will pocket those profits and damn sure won't lower their rates. Yet if they get even the slightest new channels, they raised their rates by 40%. Sounds like a bait and switch because their main selling point was Fox Sports RSN because so many other carriers dropped them. Knowing they did not have a long term contract in place. But good thing it is just a month to month service. I already cancelled mine last night.

    This. Exactly. Here is $65-$175 a month. Get one fucking platform that I can watch baboons fucking or the Stars postgame. Fine, here is $200 a month. Im willing to pay for access, reliability,  and ease of use. Take my money! 
    without that im good with $10 a month for Cooperstein, Razor, and Nadel. Spend another $10 for college radio. 
    im done missing a half of games trying to figure out the 14 subscriptions i need.

  2. Hulu, according to them will give you access to FSSW plus FSSW+. Fine. Problem is, that if you have bundled with another streaming service. Then you have to cancel. Which is fine. Then go back to Hulu and order then go back and add the streaming service and you get a credit. 
     

    Someone just needs to get a clue here and put a bundle together for all sports streaming for the American sports consumer. Id easily pay for the ease of being able to watch what I want on one platform. So would random assholes all over the country.

    Fuck Fox and this Fox Sports regional bullshit. All of the services are cutting them. Dish, Sling and now Youtube TV. They air the Rangers, Mavs and Stars games. How would one go about watching them now? I relied on those 3 services to watch them and now all of them have dropped them. And this does not seem like one of those deals where they eventually get a deal. Dish has had Fox Sports regional dropped since last year. With no plans in bringing them back.

    Ive been thoroughly disgusted with the whole thing. I cancelled FuboTV streaming after they dropped FSSW. I wasnt watching as much European soccer as I anticipated. I get frustrated with the whole thing trying to research it.

    Hit a nice 3 team parlay tonight with KU/OSU over, UT money line, and Rockets/Knicks over.  Was contemplating adding Mavs over to it but didn’t.    Damn 

    I like you already. Post more:)

    I seriously don’t know what has happened to ISU this year. It’s just bizarre to see them play this poorly. 

    Injury and then lots of guys have left for pros over last 2 years.

    All of cbb is down. 100% agree. This is a year that the league could have really shined, especially in the tourney. It’s unfortunate that we aren’t going to have that opportunity. 
     

    this is the type of year where a Maryland type team wins it. Have to think that if few doesn’t get it done this year then he never will. Bilas said this is KUs best chance in the last 10 years. Have to think that goes for absolutely everyone except duke honestly. 

    Agree. If KU won it this year all the haters would go ballistic. 
    But Dotson is that guy that will close you out and there really isnt anything coaches can do about it. Not everyone has that.

    I'm still hoping Tech gets like a 10 seed.  The 6 would be shitting bricks...  Not to mention the 8-9 spot( what most people are predicting) virtually guarantees no sweet 16.

    Well, until Coach Beard does Coach Beard things...then there might be a shot.

    4:1.

    Not a chance haha. I think Baylor and KU will be close on 1s. Wvu isn’t a 2. Depth of the league is shit. 

    I think you are correct but I also think its all a bit mediocre this year. Wide open. More than ever.

    Tech sleepwalks to a win. They have got to get the offense rolling.

    Virtually everything went OU's way for 35 minutes or so.  and what is with these punkass motherfuckers who don't do shit against anyone for the whole year, but at the USA, it's like they're throwing the ball into a bathtub from 3?

    Go look at the team box score. Tech shot 55%. Out rebounded. More steals. Low turnovers...across the board a tick or two better. @home. OU has 4 players...5 take the brunt of the minutes. 
     

    and yet, it seemed like ho hum clinic. It was 9 v 4.5.

    No shit.  They gotta close the deal tonight.  Hopefully Beard is "getting their minds right" right now.

    Beard has made some nice moves tonight...more than normal...not that he lacks in that department. 
    Need to finish this thing.
