  1. That's an easy fix though with an indoor antenna, unlike losing stations one can only get via cable, coax or streaming.
  2. As good as Mahomes is, he's helped quite a bit by Kelce. Mahomes ran more tonight than usual. So...will Dalton Kinkaid lift Josh's game? He and Knox could really open things up!
  3. Mahomes without Kelce is having to run more. Hmmmm......
  4. If you lose control of a jet ski for other than mechanical failure you shouldn't be operating one.
  5. I hear you. My late Mom would not have been able to handle streaming...especially the Apple and Roku remotes. She passed in 2018 and when I returned the cable box for her bedroom TV, I called Spectrum afterward and the customer service rep told me about streaming. That's when I made the move to Apple TV in the LR and Rokus elsewhere. I still have a landline in addition to my cell. It's actually a nice backup for when the cell service isn't that great which has occurred from time to time at home.
  6. Did they offer you the $15 credit? I read several articles that Disney gets $9+ for every ESPN cable subscriber.
  7. It's got that. No A&E, AMC, CNN, History channel, TBS, TCM, or TNT. Might be Cooking Channel...that one is on their Ultimate plan. There's a new streaming service called Frndly that has A&E and the History channel among 40 other channels for only $6.99 per month, so that could work around a couple of them. The only two providers that give you everything (or gave you everything) were Spectrum and Direct TV stream. DTV is feuding with Nextar over the locals at present, but you can use an antenna to get around that. I read today that the ultimate plan for Disney is to develop ESPN into a standalone streaming service. They're talking with everyone about partnering...including Verizon, Amazon, and the NFL. The target was 2025 but that is likely to move up as Disney will need to recoup lost revenue. It's actually in Charter's best interest to move this forward to resolution. I actually sent an email to the VP of Customer Service for Charter today. (It was clean! )
  8. Fubo has the Travel Channel. It's missing the History channel and the Turner networks and a few others.
  9. Unfortunately, Verizon stopped expanding and Fios is not available everywhere. Ticks me off.
  10. Thank goodness for the CFL today. I'm watching Edmonton and Calgary now. Clemson plays Duke tonight, but it's on ESPN, so I am "dark." Also my favorite show on National Geographic premieres tonight as well. So...we will see how long this goes on and how patient I can be.
  11. Watching Chad play as we speak on CBS Sports Network Argos @ Tiger Cats. Argos are up, 17-4. Kelly first half 6/13 109 yds, 1 TD 2 INTs.
  12. If you call them or do a chat, you will be given a $15 credit applied to next month's bill. I did a chat since their auto attendant is exactly what House quoted.
  13. He was fine in his time. Today, you cannot sit back on these new QBs. They will pick you apart.
  14. It's what George Bernard Shaw said: "Those who can, do; those who cannot, teach." And...they teach those who can.
  15. Absolutely. He really took a beating!
  16. That Bucs defense beat Mahomes in the SB! Remember half of his starting oline was out IIRC. Plus...you're talking about one game. You've got to play 17 and win most of them to even get to the SB.
  17. The level of competition in the AFC is so much better today than when Brady was in his prime. There's a reason he bolted for the NFC when he left the Pats. All the great QBs are in the AFC.
  18. That's a nice feature. Unfortunately, You Tube doesn't offer some key channels for me. I cut the cord on cable a few years ago, but stuck with the Spectrum app and stream it. There are plenty of good games on other than ESPN stations. We'll see how this episode plays out.
  19. This is a fun game! And Gus Johnson to boot!
  20. Watching the Colorado at TCU game on Fox. Great game! Currently 24-21 in the 3rd. Sanders has Colorado playing well. So...who needs ESPN this weekend?
  21. Just contacted Spectrum via chat. (I hate there auto attendant on phone.) There is a one time $15 credit they are offering to placate customers while negotiations continue. I saw a report on CNBC as they were discussing Disney's stock price dropping, that Charter was planning on the cost of credits to their customers. So...if you haven't already switched and can be a bit patient, give Spectrum a shout and get the credit.
  22. And that's the whole point when it comes to drafting for the oline. Top Tackles are drafted very high in the first round. IOL are devalued and usually start coming off the board in the second round. I was thrilled that Torrence lasted as long as he did as he was ranked as a late first round talent. Beane always drafts for value, although we question why certain players are valued as high as they are by the Bills...particularly in the 3rd round. I'm neither a scout nor a GM, so who am I to question?
  23. IOL players are generally devalued though and not drafted in the first round. Creed Humphrey was drafted in the second round as was Ocyrus Torrence this year. You rarely see an IOL ranked in the first round. I think Torrence was ranked that way this year, and lasted well into the second round.
  24. In truth, where the Bills have been picking, the value hasn't been there late in the first round for O line help. First round talent on the o line is usually gone in the first 10 to 12 picks.
