      Thats why I follow him on twitter LOL. He gives 10 obscure facts from the world of sports every morning. On average, 6 are about hockey even on a post-NFL Monday

So I see all the stuff I want to see on RedZone for a lot cheaper (free in my mind, since I got the package to ensure I get extra college hockey games on the FSNs).
        NFL Sunday Ticket is Directv, sports pack for me went up the instant RedZone was added to it...granted I haven't paid it yet but I will eventually.

                    Nice job showing as little hockey as possible. Jeff Skinner wasn't worthy of a top rookie candidate and Maya Moore was?

                    Dude Love, I'd take FSR over that dreck any day of the week. So glad the media group I work for switched from ESPN because the mothership was asking for a 50% raise of license fee.

                        Was it you who retweeted that Bucci tweet where a guy chastised ESPN for not including any hockey players in their deceased players rollcall? Beyond disrespectful of ESPN. What a bunch of tools. And you know it hurt Bucci's feelings when he was made aware of the omission. He's the only guy there who really gives a crap about the sport.

                          If an entire European team of hoops players, including former NBA stars, died in a plane crash ESPN would blow it off too. Right?

                            There would have been a 24-hour SportsCenter to talk about it. Mike and Mike would be talking about how "everybody" is talking about it. Skip Bayless would argue that they belong in the Hall of Fame.

                              That really set me off this morning. I can't believe they glossed over it.

                              BTW: Could you post that complaint on here? Thanks.

                              EDIT: I may have missed it, but was there any mention of Belak, Boogard or Rypien?
