  1. Travolta, given the right script, is a good actor. He was good in Pulp Fiction, Blow Out, Grease, but man does he pick some bad movies to be in.
  2. Congratulations to Men WIthout Hats for their biggest royalty check in 30 years.
  3. Imagine how excruciating this drawn out start will be when it's the Lions vs. the Jaguars in 2 years !
  4. The PA Announcer sounding like Wrestling.....................It's all fake !
  5. Now we get another dramatic video narrated by Bradley Cooper. START THE FUCKING GAME ALREADY............. And there are FAR better narrators than Bradley Cooper. He's an outstanding actor, but not much of a narrator.
  6. Philly 27, KC 34................the script got leaked. It's all fake.
  7. Look at that, The NFL Sunday Ticket coming to You Tube TV. Bally Sports? Naaahhh..............
  8. I'd give it 90 seconds, but if it was that close that looking at it for 90 seconds doesn't change it, then it's not clear evidence. And no New York. You hire a retired referee and a tech expert and put them in each stadium and make sure that neither one of them has any ties to the teams playing. Whistle blows, clock starts, if there are technical glitches, well, too bad. Lots of historic games were decided on close or bad calls. It's the human element. Even the idea of a retired ref brings me pause, because I don't think they want to make their referee friends look bad, but they do have the credibility and they know the rules (hopefully). You only need 16 of 'em.
  9. Gonna need money to pay those fines.
  10. Well, the idea that wanting fewer people to have access to your product is a good idea is absurd. This isn't diamonds here, this is baseball, it's not elitist, but if that's what they want, well, good luck with that. More viewers = higher commercial royalties = more profit. Why do you think they charge so much for a Super Bowl ad. (oh, sorry, Big Game, don't sue me, NFL). When it was Fox Sports I could watch the Tigers, every single game. Sinclair came along and took that option away, so excuse me for celebrating their downfall. I hope they rot. If they had a great business model, then they'd be in a better place. I even paid for their stupid streaming channel for one month. I thought $20 was worth it as a Tiger fan. It was nothing but issue after issue. It was one of the most poorly designed apps/streaming channels I've ever dealt with, so I cancelled it. Couldn't log on half the time. I'd have to change my password, it would suddenly stop, I'd try to log in again and I would have to go change my password --- again. Plus, on more than one occasion, it got stuck in a commercial loop and I had to shut it down, and login again. Couldn't get any response from them at all. Oh, it doesn't play nice with Amazon Fire Stick. Are you kidding me? Nobody uses those things. And your idea that Sinclair radio and TV are different? They are run by the same people at the top.
  11. Shhh Shhh Shh..............nobody move.................I think it's here..................
  12. She's getting all pissy now over the reaction to her look, accusing people of Ageism? Really? If you are so against Ageism, why are you having so much radical plastic surgery? She's an absolutely brilliant woman, but she just annoys the hell out me sometimes.
  13. I've seen his videos before, he hates stroads................I kind of agree with him.
  14. Well, I do understand that I can't see Tigers games on You Tube TV and I am not alone, there are thousands or hundreds of thousands of baseball fans shut out. That's dumb. You want to make deals that have MORE viewers not less, but I am familiar through some radio friends about the cultish aspects of Sinclair. They play themselves off as religious, but they are devious.....
  15. Plus the NFL realized the cost of going to a game was out of reach for a lot of people, so watching on TV was their only option. Droping the home blackout rule was one of the smartest moves ever. It ain't the pace of play that's the problem, one of the reasons to go to or watch/listen to a ballgame is just to relax and soak it in. The two most beloved radio broadcasters of all time were Vin Scully and Ernie Harwell...........they talked to you like a friend, they didn't scream and yell to oversell. Dan Dickerson is great at that, he only pitches it up when it's REAL. But what do I know, I'm just a simp in the the suburbs.
  16. Good riddance. You'd probably increase your profit if you just made a deal with YouTube TV and a few other streamers, but no, go ahead and hold out for a few bucks. Well, looks like you could have used those extra bucks now, eh? Sinclair is a terrible company. I had a friend that worked for a Sinclair radio station who said it was like a cult. And this stupid blackout rule by MLB TV? Can't even watch your team when they are on the road. WHAT? Um, what decade are you in? The NFL realized it was a stupid idea years ago. Preventing people from seeing their home team at all is not the way to build or treat a fan base. This ain't the 70s. Get with it. Rob Manfred is the worst sports commish in my lifetime. I don't know, you guys and gals are obviously sports fan, can you think of a worse one?
  17. I really don't understand why radio operates the way it does...........music radio. Everytime I worked at a station where we EXPANDED our playlist, the ratings went up, Every. Single. Time. Classic Rock Radio. 50 years of Rock & Roll - represented by 250 songs. It sucks. It's a joke.
  18. Robin Zander had a song called Reactionary Girl around 1993..................I know John Wesley Harding LOVED that song. He would go on and on about it.
  19. Other than the Hall of Fame night, have Robin, Rick and Tom made up with Bun E. Carlos? Hate seeing that happen.
  20. So if I order General Tsao chicken for dinner this weekend, is it gonna be like Larry & Jeff eating Palestinian Chicken?
