Ihaven't really been following all this, too much lawyer lingo for me.can someone please answer my following questions. So this means rockets on tv for sure correct? I have directv Will it be finished before game one? Will i have to upgrade my package or request this root sports channel? Thanks in advance, well rep accordingly.
Likely that the judge makes his decision tomorrow and rules in favor of the new channel. it's supposed to be wrapped up by the 29th so that game 2 will be on (game 1 is on TNT). Don't know, but I'd assume not if you already have channels like Fox Sports Southwest.
Would it be considered ethically wrong to defecate in my comcast receiver when I return it since it was a piece of ish the whole time I had it? Wednesday feels like Christmas!
I say it's fine. They've been defecating on you and their other customers....turnabout is fair play. :grin:
I'd say yes, that would be ethically wrong. But only because I know what type of company Comcast is, and realize that there's a good chance that they will pass that very same defiled receiver on to the next poor unexpecting customer. And no one deserves that.
This makes it sound like Calvin won't be a part of the pre and post-game shows. I was under the impression that he was sticking around. I'm gonna miss Bill Doleman. He has great chemistry with Calvin. I've got nothing against Bart Enis, I actually like him. Kevin Eschenfelder, however, is the most boring man in Houston sports. It seems like he only gets gigs because he's been around the Houston sports scene so long.
I hope Calvin stays. I'd like to see him on the Pre & Post show since I never had the chance the last 2 years cause of CSN.

I was about to ask, is this good or bad? Why does it sound bad to me? Why doesn't CSN JUST FREAKIN' GIVE UP!!!!
In a country where people will destroy their families over 10 grand, it baffles me that people find it hard to understand why a company would fight over millions.
