I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Re: College Football
pro athletes better get their money now
----------------------------------
Sports broadcasts -- long viewed by the entertainment industry as a way to lure viewers and ad dollars -- are losing some luster.
American media companies including Walt Disney Inc., Time Warner Inc. and 21st Century Fox could see their profits shrink due to the surging cost of broadcasting professional sports at a time when subscriber numbers are falling and viewership is hitting a plateau.
TV networks including Disney’s ESPN, Fox Sports and Time Warner’s TNT and TBS will spend a combined $12.5 billion in the next year for rights to carry professional football, basketball and baseball games and the Summer Olympics, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. Those long-term contracts are based on industry assumptions that may prove too optimistic amid evidence of shrinking demand for cable TV.
“Everyone thought sports rights were the Holy Grail,” said Brandon Ross, an analyst at BTIG Research. “But if your revenues are not as high as you expected and you’ve signed long-term, high-priced agreements, that makes things tough.”
Live sporting events are a top reason people still pay for cable, so media companies battle each other for rights to broadcast athletic events. Sports traditionally have boosted ratings coveted by advertisers and driven up the fees paid by pay-TV operators such as Comcast Corp. to carry channels.
Yet sports haven’t shielded TV networks from subscriber casualties. ESPN has lost 3 million subscribers in the past year and Disney cut its profit forecast earlier this month, sparking a massive selloff in U.S. media stocks. TNT and TBS, which carry basketball, baseball and golf, each shed more than 2 million, and Fox Sports 1 lost 440,000, according to Nielsen data.

Re: College Football
Hedge called from the road to Charlotte with his brother and 2 tween children. I hope Hedge uses this opportunity to get belligerently drunk, vomit a little bit on himself and cause a general ruckus at their seats. It would be good for the children to witness that type of thing close up.

Re: College Football
Tebow...only because they both suck, but Tebow can run the wildcat for 2 point conversions. I just wish I saw them employ it more in the pre-season to see if he is truly effective at it.
If it came down to Tebow or Barkley being relied on to carry the team for more than a quarter then our season is toast anyway.

Re: College Football
Tebow's popularity is a handicap.
Even in Philly there is going to be a certain percentage of fans who will want him in no matter what - and I think Coaches have been reluctant to take on that headache where someone anyone else with his skillset would be a perfect 3rd string or hybrid QB

Re: College Football
Hedge vomiting would've been masked by hatboy shitting the bed on national television. Hood is an NFL talent at RB, who was absolutely Lorena Bobbiting the 'cocks -- yet Fed never gave the kid the ball a single time inside the Red Zone. Of course, this is just typical Carolina football. Make that North Carolina football, as it would offend even traditionally mediocre South Carolina not to give them the nod as the real Carolina in college football.Saint wrote:Hedge called from the road to Charlotte with his brother and 2 tween children.

Re: College Football
The kids should have seen me after the game. I was toasted by the time I saw hedge, and after the game (six minis of Jim beam in the fourth quarter was the nail in the coffin), I don't remember shit. Wife is pissed at me, parents were in shock this morning, etc.The Anti k* wrote:Hedge vomiting would've been masked by hatboy shitting the bed on national television.

Eh. I just can't drink large amounts of liquor anymore. I haven't been that drunk since college.

Re: College Football
You were holding up well when I saw you, but of course that was the 3rd quarter. Not sure how well the seat you were sitting in was holding up, though. Your wife must be an excellent cook. You are giving BRM a run for his money...

Re: College Football
They cut Tebow, too. They may bring him back, though, since they only have 2 QBs and 52 final players for their 53 man roster. Tebow's contract was guaranteed if he wasn't cut. Now, they can bring him back without using guaranteed money. I wish he was just going away, but I don't think he is.Jungle Rat wrote:BOOM !Jungle Rat wrote:Tebow. They'll try and trade Barkley.
