I wonder how Conan would do on FOX at a 10:00 CST time slot or if a potential FOX move would remain at the 10:35 CST time.

Yeah Ive got 3 kids so sometimes it stinks not having cable, but we get a lot of stuff (videos) from the library.

That is great advice, thanks Bikeage. You can watch ESPN on streamick.com if you want.

I guess Jay Mariotti turned in a blank ballot this year. His reasoning? Re: Alomar and Martinez - they are Hall of Famers but the first ballot is sacred. Re: Blyleven and Dawson - if they havent been voted in yet, they dont deserve it (keeping in mind that he voted for Jim Rice on his 15 year and he voted for Blyleven and Dawson last year) According to deadspin.com there is a writer named Lisa Olson who has turned in a blank ballot every year since she has been eligible to vote.

This is simply the beginning of the abandonment of the Cable. The technology is there, my guess in 2-3 years or less it will be more refined and developed making it simple to get HD quality picture on your television via the internet, with more selection than there is now. This is why Cable companies should be worried. I read multiple articles after the latest Fox/Time Warner dispute about how your (our) cable bill is going up and how it will go up every year. There really was very little explanation as to why it will go up, just that it is a given fact that it will. Right now cable companies can charge $75.00 a month for cable because the public believes that they cannot watch shows that arent in HD. Really? Yeah, it looks good, but it isnt like I sit there in anger while I watch Seinfeld reruns that arent in HD - or even baseball games for that matter.

My internet is through ATT and I pay $39.99 a month but I also have a landline. I could get it for less if I cancelled that. When I cancelled my cable bill it was $49.99 month and that was NOT for digital cable, a DVR or anything like that. It was just expanded basic.

I dont know, I dont watch that show, but I have been thinking about getting into it since it is availble via streaming on Netlix, season 1 of course, I dont know what season they are currently in, but a quick internet search turned up a bunch of Season 4 episodes 12 and 13 which appeared to air just before the Holidays.

I dont have cable. I have what I consider to be a "nice" TV, that one that I won off of Swoopo last year (remebmber?), a 37 inch Samsung HDTV. However, I do not have cable, not even basic cable. That means that I get all of TWO over the air channels, NBC and CBS and the rest of the time I use it for movies or television DVDs. This has been the status quo now since about October when I had enough with the cable bills and cancelled. And to be honest, I dont miss it too much at all. Here is what I have and what I am looking forward to that could permanently replace a cable subscription, and VERY soon, First, I got a Netflix subscription. Right now I have thw two-disc-at-a-time subscription for $13.99. But that might change with the announcement that Netflix has signed a deal with Warner Bros. to stream all of their movies on Netflix (granted, they are adding a 28 day waiting period from when new releases are released). I believe this will be the future of Netflix and more studios will follow WB, which means I may be able to lower my subscription to unlimited rentals for 8.99 a month and have just one disc at home at a time and stream more movies. Next, PS3. I dont currently have one, so I dont know about all of its capabilities and/or limitations, but with an internet connection I understand that I could be watching the streaming Netflix movies on my nice fancy television set. Not only that, I am lead to believe by talking to others that I could potentially surf the web and stream other things through the PS3 and onto the television, rather than the computer. Which leads me to my next discovery(ies). First, ESPN360. which allowed me to watch stuff like the Badger Bowl game, Marquette Basketball and a slew of other out of market ESPN games. As I type this I am watching the BSC National Champtionship game on ABC on the internet, live, even though I dont or cant get ABC over the air on my TV. I found a website called www.streamick.com. This is LIVE television channels on this website. Hundreds of channels from ESPN to Discovery to Cartoon Network showing real time content. Not to mention sites like Hulu and the major network stations that put up new shows almost as soon as they've aired. The bottom line is that between Netflix, a PS3 and the internet, there really doesnt seem to be ANYTHING that is getting by me and all I am going to end up paying for is the monthly Netflix subscription. Pretty incredible. Of course the PS3 is going to cost $300 but I was planning on getting that for the video games/Blu Ray technology anyway. Why pay for cable?

Are you being compensated by the city for losing the 8 square feet of land and you want to get a 2nd opinion as to its value, or is the city just taking it and not giving you anything at all?

Because teams have been beating down his door all off season to hand him a multi year deal.

So I sort of went crazy on Wednesday and bought the following: Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion The Avett Brothers - I and Love and You The Avett Brothers - Emotionalism M. Ward - Hold Time Passion Pit - Manners St. Vincent - Actor Girls - Album The xx - XX David Rawlings - A Friend of A Friend Grizzly Bear - veckatimest I think that's all.

I get NBC and CBS over the air and I have my netflix subscription. I dont really need much else.

Is Matt Cameron leaving Pearl Jam?

I like Netflix a lot. I enjoy the instant access for documentary and foreign films, both of which seem to be more available than your standard big studio movie.

UWM just gave one away with one of the worst inbound passes I have ever seen with 3.8 seconds left and up a point. Too bad.

This only makes sense if Wolf is the REASON the offense isnt putting up 7 runs a game for him like they were for Looper. This reasoning is so wrong it is painful.

I dont think Gomez is a downgrade from Cameron defensively. If anything he might be a half win better defensively. Of course, the lack of offense wipes that out. But Gomez, as I understand it is as good as it gets in CF.

Why would Houston make that deal? Redd is almost as worthless as McGrady, the only difference between the two is that McGrady is done after this season.

The Brewers really need Gamel in their lineup some where. I guess if I had to put together a lineup today I would want it to look something like this. 1. Weeks 2. Escobar 3. Braun 4. Fielder 5. McGehee/Gamel 6. Hart/Gamel 7. Gomez 8. Zaun/LuCroy If McGehee hits like he did last year the offense should be fine. If he turns back into Casey McGehee pre 2009 then the team really needs another bat. Hart or Gamel could be that bat if Hart figures it out and/or Gamel is given the at bats to produce up to his potential.

Hopefully Vazquez works out as well for the Yankees this time as he did last time around.

So what does it look like for the Oshkosh/Valley area. We arent really GB and we arent really Milwaukee when it comes to weather.

Just in regards to talent levels. I dont know how far, geographically speaking, 1-AA and even division II teams recruit from their campus, but I would guess that it is as regional as divions III. In Wisconsin there a lot of very talented football players and their choices regionally are Division I (Big Ten) and then what? There is a division II league in Minnesota, but I would guess that many of Whitewater's players arent heavily recruited by DI-AA and Division II, and sometimes given the choice they might even prefer to play for Whitewater and dominate than play D-II and be on an average team. The bottom line is the difference between Division I and any other division is huge, but when you get to DI-AA, DII and DIII I think the difference is much smaller.

The Mariners basically traded two years of a poorer performing Jeff Suppan for a guy who can OPS close to .900. Is Jeff Suppan had two years left on his deal and had put up ERAs over 6.00 rather than 5.00 the years before, I would be ticked at Melvin if he DIDNT make this deal. Character issues are severely overblown in any sport, especially baseball where almost every encounter is 1 on 1.

Yeah it is a playoff thing. When I lived near Detroit I learned about the Octopus throwing. The guys I knew would tie it around their calves and hide it under their pant legs. It has to do with the "old days" and needing 8 wins in the playoffs to win the Cup...or something like that.

Id have to speculate that grades would have made him ineligible in the 2nd half of the season anyway and by transferring now he is only going to miss a semester extra.
