    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    Moving back to the US after 10-years, and this time to the Greenwich CT area. This thread is very helpful, as I find the TV-packages (cable & directv) way overpriced. I like the YouTube/Philo combination very enticing, not sure what I would be missing. Sports packages I can buy separate if...

    La Liga 2018-19: The Next Generation

    The closest top team from where we live is Juventus, and my kids became big fans last year and we have been visiting games in the stadium. Although I am not a big fan of the person Ronaldo, I have to say seeing him play in the stadium the guy is real. The amount of energy he is bringing...

    Ajax up 2-0 and AEK with 10-men. If it stays like this they will qualify and Benfica is out of the CL.

    How about that? Sox are Champs for the fourth time this century

    Very misleading article by ESPN. The ranking you refer to was the last 2018 regular season ranking. The discussion on the 2019 ranking was in the video...

    The Magic Number

    That was like 3 minutes that the magic number was 3, must be some kind of record.

    This is the best Red Sox team...ever.

    Yet if you believe Houston is better than Cleveland and New York, it is better to have them play 1 game rather than a 5 game series statistically speaking. In addition, Cleveland has a worse record than New York and has been feasting on the AL Central.

    So on 9/11 the magic number moved from 11 to 9, you cannot make this stuff up...

    Could we be in for a Record Season?

    To me, the key outcome of the first three weeks is that we can see what the potential of the team is, and that last season may have been a freak aberration. Given that we still won the division this bodes well for this year. Our real sustainable level is probably between last season and the last...

    Aaron Hernandez: Had Advanced CTE - NEP Sued

    This is not about Hernandez nor his daughter, but whether the NFL is liable for CTE, i.e. can it be proven that they downplayed the issues. If not in this case because they may settle, one day there will be a Robin Hood and the NFL will face the same fate as tobacco. There cannot be any other...

    Kyrie Irving traded to Celtics for IT, Crowder, Zizic, BKN 1st, 2020 2nd

    I am not a NBA-trade expert, but to what extend do teams need to disclose injuries to their trade partner? This may hold the key how the discussion will unfold and how Silver will assess the situation.

    Porcello named opening day starter

    100% team politics and management, nothing to do with L/R staging. You cannot bump your CY winner for a guy you traded for. Sale will first have to prove he can upstage Porcello in Boston.

    Why are so many Champions League teams bad?

    4 time european champions Ajax' annual turnover is less than the last place team in EPL receives just in TV money. Get used to always the same teams/countries are doing well. Greed will be the undoing...
