It's how cable works economically. ESPN gets less money per thirty-second spot of advertising than ABC, but ABC doesn't get subscription fees.

I'm not sure if the drop in advertising money was offset entirely by the increase in the subscription fees, but Disney is run by some smart people and I trust they did the math before making the call.

I like how my landlord never answers his phone or door when the rent cheque is due.

This will launch me on another endless and likely futile quest to identify you on twitter. How many football bloggers could there be?

Making up fake email accounts is the worst. I have to go through the gmail process every six months it seems.

For this particular one? It's unlikely.

Though my twitters will never be posted here unless I get reeeeeeeeally drunk one night. Good luck finding it.

Been considering getting twitter myself, but I don't know what I would do with it. Just use it to document the stupid crap I do to fill the time between sleeping and make jokes and reference only I could possibly get? Seems stupid.

Aint denying that, but people pay more to watch ESPN than they do to watch ABC.

I don't care if more people pay more to watch ESPN

OTA gets a lot more ratings

You saw with the SNF situation compared to MNF

I have been on hf drunk once

I have not been drunk in a while

I may loosen my no twitters posting rule if I get more comfortable here and I feel like gaining a few followers

Until that time, good luck

As I conceded in Reddit later in that thread I have a terrible perception of the world of business

Just criticizing Man City for "buying titles"

Unaware of the ECONOMICS of the EPL
