I’m sorry fellas, I wasn’t clear.  No, a post of mine on the Turner Classic Movies board was deleted.  I challenged the coward to come out and fight, but he’s hiding out in his office.

At sixteen years old I’m sitting in the dentist’s chair for an annual clean and the dentist asks me if I’ve been smoking cigarettes.  I can’t remember my response because all I remember is he hurt me on purpose.  Never been to a dentist since.  Never will.  Is that kind of thinking related to the antivax thinking?  It’s illogical and abnormal but it’s overpowering.  Certainly it can’t just be needles, but I’ll bet that is a factor.

I hope and pray she is one of the 98% who recover from it.

Thanks Wml.

She honestly seems fine.

JR- I saw earlier today where they were making them and I thought that I had better buy one because we wont be winning any championships soon.

Thank god.

Alex T. wanted Laura Coates to replace him. LaVar Burton is the PERFECT pick. Alex Rodgers, was also surprisingly good.

time for sony to understand its not what they want, but what the fans' want, esp for this treasure of a show.

Question for cord cutters who also rely on regional sports networks to get the games of your local favorite teams.  (In my case, the Predators.)

I've been with YouTube TV for the last 2-3 years or so, which is fine, but based on everything I've read, they're never going to carry Bally Sports South, which has the Predators (not to mention the Braves and Reds, which means I miss those games on TV when the Cubs play them).  It appears the only streaming service that will have it is AT&T TV, but they don't have local channels, which I also want to have.  (I can only get CBS and Fox with an antenna where I am, so a streamer without local channels is not ideal.)

I'm almost thinking about going right back to DirecTV just for the sole purpose of Predators games along with the Cubs games against the Braves and Reds I'm missing, but all told it's going to be $50-$60 more per month.  It also just seems like a complete backwards move since that's not where the future of TV is heading. 

Does anyone else out there have that dilemma?  You'd think in 2021, this would no longer be a problem, but it still is.

As an aside, reading up on Sinclair's and Bally Sports dealings with the streamers (YouTube and Hulu) along with the possibility of them launching an app in 2022 where you can pay $26 per month to get your local Bally Sports RSN (and threats from cable companies to drop them if they do that), it almost makes me wonder how viable some of the deals MLB, NBA, and NHL are with Sinclair and Bally. 

It looks like Sinclair is in a position where they're still beholden to the likes of DirecTV and Comcast because YouTube and Hulu simply want no part of them for their RSN's.  In YouTube's and Hulu's cases, that would erode their thin profit margins as it is, and they're doing fine without them.  And if Sinclair/Bally launch their stand alone app, the cable companies might bail, and at $26 per month, it's probably something a lot of cord cutters won't pay up for. 

Basically it looks like Sinclair might be walking a pretty tight rope with their RSN's, and if they make a strategic misstep, that could mean some trouble for some of these extremely expensive rights agreements they have with MLB, NBA, and NHL teams?

Again, amazing in 2021, this is where we are with that.

I have 2 bleacher tickets to the Cubs Cardinals afternoon game on September 24th. I'm most likely not going.  I might be heading up to the Ryder Cup instead if my tickets come through.  If anyone wants them let me know here and I'll give them away if the Ryder Cup works out.

When I try to access my Microsoft Outlook email, I get a message saying they’ve detected suspicious activity on my account and want me to verify that I’m the owner.  Whenever I go through that process, I always wind up back at the warning message.  After about five tries, I’m told I’ve exceeded the day’s limit.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
