Dang, victim of Covid/economy?

Second the Tub. Haven't been up there in awhile but I always thought The Distillery on West Ridge was solid.

Struck out. After about 10 minutes of small talk with the rep, who was a decent dude, he came back and said nothing available...I called 866-595-2871. I'll try again tomorrow.

That link it taking me to the DTV home page and there's no student package to be found.

Good going...had they already sent you the box to mail back your equipment? That's what happened to me last year.

I hope they can somehow get Pinto Kenny inside...maybe even as stadium crew. Need to keep the Ripken-esque streak alive.

That's my thought right now. We get the first week of ST free anyways, so I may try it for week 2.

When I re-upped last week, I said I didn't want a contract, the CSR concurred, and said he "put it in the notes" that there is no contract on my account. You cannot find anything about your "contract" online, so it seems, yes, you need to call and ask. More AT&T shenanigans.

Best they could offer was $40 off/month with nothing off ST. Has anybody tried or heard anything about the eBay route? https://www.ebay.com/itm/NFL-Sunday-Ticket-MAX-Entire-2020-Season-350-FB-Near-Instant-Delivery-Warranty/254680463628?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160811114145%26meid%3D118ccdb7ce254daaab751be524d04c97%26pid%3D100667%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D8%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D274456351710%26itm%3D254680463628%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2334524&_trksid=p2334524.c100667.m2042

Good point...I can pull up my account within seconds online but it seems to take 10 minutes for these CSRs.

Made "The Call" yesterday and had almost the same experience...offered my $40 off/month and no deals on ST. Told them I'll try again later. It was a tough half hour...how did you stay on with them for 100 minutes?!?! I would have pulled what little hair I have left out of my head. I'll try the Twitter route today. Also, why does it take them so long to bring up your account...I swear half the time I was on the call with them was waiting for ATT to bring up my account.

My feeble mind tells me that game was broadcast on the one of the 700 Sunday Ticket channels...I distinctly remember watching it here in Fairfax.

I've switched to low ABV, low carb IPAs. Don't know availability in your area, but these are my favorites: Lagunitas DayTime: https://lagunitas.com/beer/daytime Oskar Blues One-y: https://www.oskarblues.com/beer/one-y/ Dogfish Head Slightly Mighty: https://www.dogfish.com/brewery/beer/slightly-mighty Founders All Day IPA: https://foundersbrewing.com/our-beer/all-day-ipa/

Dang, I'm tempted...https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=sabrejak&_sacat=0

Mods, can this thread be pinned?

Tough one...I went with French, whose official title was a "Gentleman's Gentleman."

This came up on Spotify over the weekend and hadn't heard it in 30 years...great tune.

Rod Kush game in 1980, comeback road win vaulted the Bills to 5-0, and I can remember where I was watching this. Kush had a monster game, taking over for the injured Jeff Nixon and starring on special teams. Unfortunately, he hurt his knee late and I believe he was out the rest of the year.

Game was blacked out in WNY...had to listen on radio. The 1975 team started out 4-0 and looked like a SB contender, only to lose to a lackluster Giants team on MNF. This game led to a downward spiral with the Bills finishing a pedestrian 8-6 and out of the playoffs.

Last year I noticed the people with AT&T wireless were most likely to get free ST or significant discounts.

And are you an existing AT&T wireless customer?

Now, pay the man!

Some students actually "rent" their email credentials on eBay...don't know how reliable or legal, that is.

Ah, like the swallows returning to Capistrano, the annual August ST thread...the most wonderful time of the year. I saw the "no dish required" DTV ad on FB and and I opened and it's deceptive advertising...you could always stream if you couldn't receive a signal (as determined by your address and DTV) and that's all this is...same old, same old bait and switch from DTV. My contract is up August 20th so that's the day I make the call.

Very plausible and a responsible response to the pandemic. I think the NFL has until the end of the month to figure this thing out and if things don't get any better, I believe this type of scenario is certainly on the table.
