    it's clear to me now they are not getting the deal done, i'm on the phone with comcast now. I've had comcast before in the past, never thought they were as bad as I keep hearing.

    So what are the options without Comcast? Would League Pass Mobile work?

    Amazing. Also side note: Larry Bird was supposedly on his last legs w/ a terrible back in 91-92. Still put up that baller stat line. Ppl forget how good he was.

    This is really really irritating now. Are fans really forced to watching ****ty streams online of their home team? Does anyone have any news whatsoever about if any deal is being worked on or something?

    i've come up with nothing other than the live streams. there is a pretty lively discussion going on over at the CSN Houston facebook page. too bad it's a one way conversaton. it's not looking good.

    This is really starting to piss me off now. There's nothing I'd rather do right now then make some Harden highlights, but I can't thanks to Comcast. The fans should never have to miss games due to these greedy companies. I'm pretty sure we all pay enough for television. It's amazing because I can watch any game I want... except for the Rockets.

    Sure wish I could have heard Bill and Bull's take on the game. Hate listening to away broadcasters.

    Either CSN's facebook page stopped allowing comments from people or they just blocked me personally from commenting, my comments from before has disappeared. Either way I feel like I won a small battle, even though how pathetic and sad it is. :D

    LOL

    I posted this on the Comcast wall = Rockets, when you jumped into bed with the Astros and Comcast / NBC, you should have worn a condom :(

    It does feel good to vent :p
