  WannaBe: Good match-up games to watch in NCAA Football this Sat.:

Boise St-Georgia, Oregon-LSU.

And then you have the Custer at Little Big Horn match-up.

Tulsa @ #1 Oklahoma. I think the spread of this game is Oklahoma -70 or something like that...

  WannaBe: Had a jolly good time at AT&T Park Sunday, they had Star Wars day, and quite a few people dressed up!

Best part was, there was 6 storm troopers around home plate area, when the 4 umps came onto the field, they were 'escorted' to home plate for the exchange of line-up cards.

  WannaBe: News: ESPN signs Monday Night Football (MNF) exten. with NFL for 1.9 billion a year, that is correct, BILLION!

To break it down, there are 17 weeks in a season, so they are airing 17 games.

(Lately, due to the fact that the last MNF is very close to the holidays, ESPN shows 2 games in week 1)

If you divide that dollar amount by the number of games, it works out to be $111,764,705.88 <PER> game. That is just to recoup what ESPN spend on the contract. Not counting paying the 3 booth announcers, 2 sideline reporters, cameramen, people editing the highlights, the cost of moving people/equipment.

ESPN will recoup the money in mainly 2 ways, commercials, and pay subscription. Since it is a part of basic cable network, for every subscriber/converter box that uses DISH, DirecTV, Verizon Fios, AT&T, Comcast, or whoever, must pay a certain amount to ESPN for each converter box, (That is why your first box is 'free', any additional room/box costs extra, whether you watch/use that channel/box or not.)

That, is a mind-boggling number.

This, is what is wrong with America, or actually, the whole world.

I spilled coffee on myself, I sue. I am fat because I can't stop going to McDonalds, I sue, I am fat and can't fit into a booth or airplane seat, I sue.

I sue, I sue, I sue. It's not my responsibility, it's not my fault I am fat.

  WannaBe: I can't believe I actually read 7 pages of Wheeler v. Goldsby page...

I am now in a looney bin, with a white 'jacket' and am being fed apple sauce. Someone please call my work in the morning and tell them I am 'indisposed'...

And also, will someone please go to the Foster City branch, and verify that the upgrade that I performed last week did indeed, take effect... PLEASE!

  OhioChessFan: It does sound excessive. But it all happened at the beginning of the game, so it wasn't running up the score. The worst thing I ever saw was a visiting team bus getting caught in traffic and showing up a minute before game time. The home team wouldn't relent on the start time. They won the toss, received, and then ran a hurry up offense the first drive. The defense was cold, out of synch, and gave up a touchdown on that drive. The home team won the game 7-0.
