He's into the purple drank. This is just starting to rear its ugly head in the NFL (Jamarcus), and the Commish is squashing it.

Interesting, but a bit dated. He has Kawika starting in the middle and Schobel outside. No mention of Maybinot either, which does give the writer some credibility

That was when he wanted someone new brought in. Since no one was brought in, Trent remains the best of a bad bunch (at least in Kelly's estimation, as well as mine).

Sounds like a bunch of happy campers to me! Hard to believe anyone out there bitching about Sunday Ticket, all the while getting these disocunts, and continuing to send their hard earned money to a provider they hate

Really? Lebron was going to make his announcement on national TV, then flip flop, change his mind, and go back to Cleveland? Really?

You're right, most people get it right off the bat. All I meant by holding out is that sometimes they first offer folks $10 off for 6 months, and if you resist a little and/or cite that others are getting $20, then they'll give you the bigger discount. A lot of times people are happy to get the $10 and just take it without pushing for more.

Good for you! You shoulda held out - most people are getting $20 off for 6 months, bringing the package down to $180. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/index.php?...t&p=1875301

Uhh, you know Superfan was more than just HD, right? And the HD access fee is obsolete, right? And how exactly in your world did they use this "scam" to continue to raise prices? The Superfan package price remained constant over the years at $99 until it was retired (and that's only for those who actually paid it), while the Sunday Ticket package is what went up every year. Superfan was an OPTIONAL add on. Oh, and sorry to burst your bubble, but out of DirecTV's 18 million subscriber base what percentage are Sunday Ticket package subscribers? They will be just fine if the cable companies, who had every opportunity to bid on the same package, ever get ahold of it. And I hear a lot more people who like the company rather than hate it for being flexible enough in their pricing to tailor it to specific cusomers. Oh the sweet irony of hearing someone call others stupid for falling for this "crap," while at the same time as bitching and moaning about their TV provider continue to renew and send them more money.

What exactly is your !@#$ing problem?! Nowhere in my post that you quoted did it state DirecTV was giving a discount by including HD in the Sunday Ticket package this year. That post was purely informational and it was posted at the time DirecTV officially acknowledged they were doing away with Superfan. For someone who never paid the $99 fee for superfan and gets $120 off the Sunday Ticket price, you B word a lot. At least post a relevant quote for your pissing and moaning.

Do you drive a BMW?

Just doing a PSA for others so they can try to get the best deal possible. That extra $15 might be the deciding factor for some.

That's weird advice, but probably pretty telling.

I can't imagine not having my Buffalo Bills on my big screen HDTV every Sunday, no matter what their circumstances. I haven't missed a game in I don't know how long. But that's just me. The good thing is there's always room on the bandwagon when they do turn it around. And you can say I was there during the bad times.

Auto-renew is $299, but why quibble when you're getting $120 off?

I know Chan forgot more about devising an offensive scheme and running an offensive system than Jauron ever learned his entire life.

Eagles are now denying the story.

What's worse - picking a "project" with the #11 overall pick in the draft, or said project flaming out in the NFL?

Oopsie - I meant his replacement, Nawrocki. I associate that publication so much wtih JB.

Meredith was given the exact same grade as Wood by Buchsbaum, and higher than Levitre. He was also the #6 ranked Tackle in his draft class. It's like adding another pick to last years class (Wood, Levitre, Meredith). Not your usual practice squad pickup - the kids got potential. Plus coming in when he did he was thrown into the fire - this offseason he's on the same learning curve as everyone else. Let 'em play and see what he's got.

Flozell retired a few years ago, and is just collecting paychecks now.

No, but it woulda been nice to see him at least hold off free agent castaway Torbor.

Dead on. It's the same crew every year, preaching patience and the coaches know more than us. How's that worked out the last 10 years? And Maybin's already been demoted during OTA's We won't hear from the patience is a virtue crowd in a few years once he's out of the league. They'll have moved on to their new pet.

Plus he was drafted 26th, not 11. I don't understand how folks think Flowers was a bigger bust. Maybin is already flaming out, and the only thing that awaits is the passage of time so that we can finally confirm he's a bust. Seriously, he can't hold off Torbor through OTA's? Sheesh.
