I agree with this 100%. My family is too used to YTTV to switch away now. Instead, I purchased the MLB At Bat audio option for $20/season. This will allow me to listen to all MLB games, which for me makes more sense. I have 2 kids and busy evenings, so it is easier to listen to games than...

No disrespect intended, but shouldn't a reporter just provide the facts and let the consumer of news make their own opinion? I think Dan Snyder is a dirtbag, but I struggle that so much of the news nowadays has to force a perspective/opinion instead of providing facts and relying on the...
