DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

[satjay]

This thread was getting low--Time to bump it up! Nothing new to report...

I know, especially with the logo/no logo game not really happening much

Alright Dish, you have 2 weeks to get this done. My Vols play on ESPNU on the 30th. This has dragged out long enough.

Charlie's an alumni so this should be his top priority before game day.

Nah, I'm not that desperate yet. I love my hopper too much. Now if we lost ESPN all together I would have have Direct here the next day. I guess I'll watch at a friends house until this mess is worked out.

The channels are still on Dish with no sign that they are going off any time soon. Enjoy your game, eventually Dish and Disney will work something out.

Nah, I bet he has directv in his house as well, you know, for comparison purposes.

Even though it's Tennessee, it's still hard to enjoy in overcompressed blurivision

I had the same thought when they announced yesterday. Was glad to see that the UT/Vandy game this weekend is going to be on ESPN2 instead of U. We will be out tailgating and will likely just watch the game from the tailgate.

There are probably a few Pats fans who wish that they didn't have ESPN today.

PANTHERS!

The Panthers have a LOT to be Thankful for this Thanksgiving after last night.

Officials were AFRAID of the crowd, AFRAID to make the right call. Is it worth a riot to follow the rules? Guess not.

It couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch.

Assuming you're talking about the last play, do you for one second believe Gronkowski could have CAUGHT the ball if he wasn't being held? Keep in mind at the time, he was at least 5 yards from where ball was caught AND moving away from that point. It's no different than a flag being waved off because the pass was 10 feet over the head of the receiver.

Good Job by all the Patriot fans of not letting the facts get in the way of a lot of good whining this morning!

Us Charlotteans have come a long way!!! :

Pats are still 7-3. That one call isn't going to be the deciding factor for the post season.

Exactly. They are still going to win the AFC East comfortably. And the loss to a NFC team doesn't hurt as much as an AFC loss would.

Losing to Denver next week will sting a bit more.

You are assuming PI. Illegal contact does not even have be a catchable ball. Clearly illegal. Weak, WWF-style fail by the refs. Cowardly.

And I hate the Patriots, FWIW.

Can't be Illegal Contact. According to the rule, the QB must still have the ball for there to be illegal contact. Rule 8, Section 4, Article 3. The contact clearly happens after the pass is in the air so the only possibility is PI.

Now, do you think, if there was no contact that Gronk had a chance to CATCH the ball? The ball was underthrown and Gronk's momentum was taking him away from the play allowing the defender to undercut him.
