Click on the link in my sig. I work for an oil and gas trade publication and freelance for the Houston Press covering the Texans. And if CSN has a...
That's all fine and good. And you're exactly right -- this is a lot bigger than Astros baseball. Where you come off as biased, to me, is that you...
Unless you're six months old or younger, that quote is completely ridiculous. CSN Houston isn't some revelation. People have had the...
Um, yes. I'm more than happy to have a beer with you, if you bizarrely care enough to learn what I do. I have absolutely zero to do with CSN. I...
It's called balance. There's no need for me to repeat the argument against the CSN side; it's been made thousands of times. What's not being said...
I don't have a dog in this fight, either. I'm in the minority that blames both sides equally.
Idiots like this almost make me happy with the blackout. I know most are a lot more informed, though.
Why would anyone get riled up that isn't already riled up? Unless you're 6 months old or younger, you've seen the Astros on your provider before....
Who exactly is going to get riled up? The 8-month-old children who don't remember what it was like to watch the Astros on TV? Because other than...
Eh, I think that's the basic nature of cable providers and new networks. If the customers don't ask for it, why would the provider pay money and...
Exactly, there's risk for both sides. In fact, I'm pretty confident ratings WILL be low, given that it typically takes a few weeks for the casual...
They really are assholes if they don't. I get that it's a PR stunt for CSN... but I don't think that the providers accepting this deal would...
Find where I said it was the norm. I didn't, so enjoy your strawman. I simply said it can happen and there is precedent for it. Furthermore, my...
I think the biggest problem with Stern and his officials is simply a lack of accountability, which should play into our favor in Houston. Sure,...
The Rockets as a team need to move on. We as fans don't. There are very few things that we as fans can have an impact on. Officiating is one of...
Both LeBron and Bosh committed to the Heat without knowing that they would get an extra year. That's a fact, too, no matter how you want to spin...
NOBODY does that? The Heat did, for starters. And I'm pretty damn confident their agents didn't tell them that, because Cleveland in particular...
Yeah, these were a blast back in 2009. Paying $9 for a 24-ounce beer instead of $5 at a bar is a small tradeoff for the atmosphere and absurdly...
Absolutely. But I also consider it "good business sense" for Jim Crane and the Astros not to accept a terrible deal that puts them light years...
I get that, but that's precisely my point (as I've said many times). The reason the providers are more willing to pick this fight with CSN (and...
