    Tonight, the Patriots can't get a tackle in a fisherman shop.

    I hope they paid out. That seems too average of a bet to pull back from.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    But aren't they burning through cash? Revolving credit is helpful, but they still have to pay the interest. And they aren't in the position to acquire more debt.

    2024-2025 NCAA Football Thread

    I'm not one to be all conspiracy theory, but I caught the end of that NIU v Notre Dame game, and if one wanted to believe college football was nothing but a sham, the call on the 3rd and 2 and the ensuing replay really gives one no other possible consideration. In real time, it appeared he got a...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    A quick look (and I'm fishing in unfamiliar waters), Directv have something like $125 billion in debt. Dish is a fraction of that. I can see why AT&T want a merger! Dish's annual revenue is 10% of that! Dish at least has a chance at a future with mobile. Directv is a bloated beached whale, the...

    Nashville to finish off the season. Thanks to a 12 Volt battery mishap to Palou in the previous race, Power had an outside chance of winning the championship at Nashville, win the race and put pressure on Palou, second place... hope Palou drives near Sting Ray Robb too often, third place...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    While Dish is probably the healthier of the two, I would guess Directv would be the better brand name. That said, combining the debt would seem unhelpful and the only possible benefit of a merger would be to make it easier to revolve debt with the revenue increasing, but the cost is higher debt...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    So, would a merger allow them to revolve their debt more easily? I don't think Dish or Directv have debt capacity to absorb the other's debt.

    Auto Racing 2024

    Tire based racing is much better than fuel economy racing, as proven at Milwaukee. Final race of the Indycar calendar is this weekend in Nashville, oval and not that awful road circuit! IMSA is at Indy next week and it is looking to be close to as warm as the Six Hr event at Watkins. The main...

    Google Scores NFL Sunday Ticket Package

    Man, with my luck I'd sign up to the military for the discount and then President Biden would go on TV that night to announce we are mobilizing to fight a war against Spheron I.

    Good ole rankings. Michigan loses to ranked Texas, falls to 17th. Notre Dame loses to Northern Illinois, falls to 18th. Texas is now 2nd, and let me guess, Northern Illinois is 11th? Not quite, but they are 25th. Yes, Michigan lost by more...but again, national football program that was already...

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    Sunday started off weird. Buffalo down, Miami down. Patriots... up?! And it finished, at least the 1 PM games, mostly normal, except with the Patriots winning. The Patriots win is definitely a sign of things to come. It was the first time a new NE head coach came in and won their first game...

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    As a reminder, the first quarter of tonight's game is on Amazon. The second quarter is available on Fox. The third quarter is on CBS. The fourth quarter will be available on the NFL Network. Any overtime will require going north of the border to catch it on CBC. This is of course related to the...

    Vanderbilt beat Virginia Tech. They were up 17-0 at one point. :oops: Needed OT to win in the end, but this will go down as one of the most unexpected outcomes.

    Patriots are ready to give their QB an excuse for not winning games. Brisset, Maye, Zappe... who cares, it is a 5 yd penalty for illegal formation.

    Bally Sports RSNs Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    Not certain it is fair to say 'just like Dish' as the parallel isn't particularly accurate other than "debt". Dish bought a lot of spectrum on the card. But they also were trying to build out something new, create something. Dish's underlying Sat model is sunsetting due to the market, not...

    Bally Sports RSNs Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    So Diamond overleverages to get the sport networks, can't pay the bills, then they are allowed to shaft debt holders and get to keep the channels, despite the model likely still not working?

    Portland Grand Prix - Indycar visits Portland, Oregon to race on the relatively short road course. Santino Ferucci managed to win the pole over Will Power. It was Foyt Racing's first pole in ten years. The race started and kind of ended in the same lap. Will Power took off, got the lead, and...

    Dish Price Increases (2024-25)

    If you can get locals OTA, Plex is probably better than Philo+Welcome Pack. Welcome Pack just stopped being a supplemental bargain a few years ago, and I got lucky because I got TCM by accident with Welcome Pack.
