By the way, a follow-up: I've had a couple people suggesting that it's bad for business, i.e. why would a content producer like myself not want to...
I'm here! The back story: Being an Astros fan on Twitter is hard, particularly if you have a large account. On multiple occasions over the last...
Tilman obviously hated Bullard so much that they hired him to the front office. [MEDIA]
Yeah, it's an overstatement to suggest that we won't talk about it, but I do think it would greatly reduce the anxiety. Because part of the...
For what it's worth, you can do both. For example, Mark Jones now does PBP for the Kings, but he still works some ESPN broadcasts, as well. That...
I don't think any one entity truly does, honestly. Everyone wants the partner to be on board. Technically, AT&T has the final say, but they...
Yeah, we're admittedly quibbling over semantics. I absolutely agree with you that the Rockets could have stopped it, had they really wanted to. I...

Related sidebar, it's worth noting that the Rockets do have more control of their radio network. As some of you may remember, during that brief...
This is absolutely not true, for the record. It WAS partially true in the days of CSN Houston, but unfortunately that went into bankruptcy and did...
FWIW, it wasn't just Berman, that's what the team's press release says (that she was promoted from COO to President of Business Operations):...
Narrator: It didn't happen.
Just ease up on the personal stuff (not saying you, specifically). That's all I was trying to say earlier in the thread. If somebody disagrees...
Correct. The comment wasn't meant to criticize any of you, there are many extremely intelligent people here. It was to distinguish between...
Because it hasn't happened yet?
