Why give something away free if someone is willing to pay for it? That's their attitude, anyway.
Last year, I got NFL games on HD as part of Sunday Ticket. This year, they are charging an extra $100 dollars if you want to watch games in HD. Well, I love HD, but I sure as **** am not going to pay that. I think it's an absolute rip-off.
If another satellite company had something equivalent to Sunday Ticket, I would have switched long ago.

That's because baseball has been replaced by Football as America's National Pastime.

Yahoo is great. I have e-mail through them, run fantasy leagues, use Yahoo maps. It's my homepage.
Thanks man I'll check it out. I was watching something similar while at work on Fox's website, but I'll give Yahoo's a try.

That is all.
Now now 'Hawk, the people you should really be mad at are the Seattle Seahawks. You should change your name to SeahawkVictim. It's not too late to have that Hawk tat on your ass modified and start rooting for the Eagles...
after much testing and comparison, I have found cbssportsline's site updates scores and plays much faster than espn or yahoo, that's what I usually stick to

I apologize for dragging an old thread back to the top, but I got really annoyed today with the ESPN website and this thread seemed the appropriate place to vent.
I share Seahawks frustrations. The whole website is turning into a "pay" site. That annoying little "in" insider icon is plastered onto the end of almost every link on the site. The only articles you can read for free now are mindless piles of regurgitated AP wires. Anything interesting that expresses an opinion now has an "in" tacked onto it. A once great Sports News site has been turned into a pay to view online magazine. I guess it just good ole American business in action, but I am annoyed by it. I hate when suddenly I'm required to pay for something that used to be free. ESPN.com is the crack dealer of Internet Sports sites.
