More lost hockey

Well, all NHL games through 12/14, plus all star weekend cancelled. They're going to kill the game. I know I'll watch again when they return, but doubt I'll spend money to go to games. Just lost my great seats for the 12/5 game against the Rangers.

How the hell do they keep him around?

The NHL sanctioning body is an even bigger joke than IndyCar (which, ironically, is also on NBC Sports channel)

Yeah, I think I'll just figure out something else to do with that time from now on. If hockey doesn't need me, I guess I don't need hockey.

So, anyone watching the news about Snoop Dog ('scuse me, Snoop Lion) wanting to buy into Glasgow Celtic? He said he'd like to get Beckham on the team a couple days ago. Today, I heard that Beckham is going to leave the LA team. Hmmmm...

Maybe I'll just start following MLS...

I HATE not having FOX Soccer Channel on DirecTV. (it's not even included in the sports package) UEFA Champions League and EPL are the very best there is for soccer... though MLS isn't something to balk at.

Hopefully more international soccer will find it's way to my television when they pull the plug on SPEED Channel and turn it in to FOX Sports 1.

Hey Dip, you want international futbol (soccer) on DirecTV? Go to channel 620 for BeIn Sport. Fox Soccer and Fox Soccer Plus are also available. I subscribed to the sports package years ago and get them.

I have been a fan of FC Barcelona for over 25 years and catch virtually every Barca La Liga game live. They also carry Ligue 1 from France and Calcio games from Italy.

Champions League and UEFA Cup games? Got em live too. Better channel than GolTV (what they used to carry) as GolTV was a Spanish channel. Announcers were British (couple of Americans thrown in) and the halftime commercials were all in Spanish. Now with BeIn Sport, everything is in English.

I was Googling something and saw that NBC Sports Network actually has broadcast rights to EPL beginning next year.

Though it's the popular thing to do, blaming Bettman doesn't make much sense. As I've stated before, he's just a mouthpiece for the owners. Fehr is the mouthpiece for the players, but he's had a much larger role in keeping the players in line and "unified".

I blame the owners and the players. Both are too stubborn to get anything done. The players are ridiculous by holding out for more than a 50% share of revenue, and the owners are ridiculous by demanding the players rework their previous contracts to immediately fit the parameters of a new bargaining agreement.

The blame for this trainwreck is equally shared.

I wonder why NHL's sole television provider is so quiet. I mean, without NHL, there's absolutely nothing worth watching on NBC sports channel except when they air Baltimore Indy. I can't imagine a scenario where NBC Sports Channel is happy about the lost advertising revenue.
