Pretty sure Fox's contract is pretty much free reign on NHL stuff. It's why fox sports still publishes NHL highlights to its website. Plus as of a couple months ago when we had a highlight show NHL was the only one without any airing restrictions. We could do partials, in game updates, the whole thing. I agree with you completely given time restrictions and rights things if they're there. However I was under impression fox had pretty much all access.

Fox has pretty much every regional NHL contract that NBC does not have.

To be clear I'm not speaking on affiliates whether they are Comcast/NBC or FS-xxx but broadcasting rights when it comes to rules on highlights and things. Which are there but somewhat different. I think.

The Big Ten Conference is shopping around TV rights staring in the 2017-18 season right now. The question is, with budget cuts at ESPN and Fox Sports, will the rights be split (as expected) or will one side overpay?

Big Ten football (or at least Michigan and especially OSU football) is one of the things still worth throwing a lot of money at, and Fox spent the whole first week obsessing over Harbaugh (khaki cam lol) and trying to show off for the Big Ten. I imagine the conference is gonna get a whole shitload of money. Hopefully ESPN outbids them though because Fox is loving garbage at covering games (and, uh, everything)

Curt Schilling is impossible to fire for some reason.

To clarify, this is the guy who denies evolution, compared muslims to nazi's, and recently in a recent radio interview said "I hope she does. If I'm going to believe, and I don't have any reason not to believe, that she gave classified information on hundreds if not thousands of emails on a public server after what happened to General Petraeus, she should buried under a jail somewhere," which is in direct contradiction of their employee mandate about not commenting about the election.

But he's back so I'm looking forward to more funny dumb poo poo.

Schilling won't go away because if ESPN fires him, he'll just take a cushy salary at Fox News (or FS1, if they still have enough money to hire another gimmick blowhard who never draws ratings).

Being on Hard Knocks should be punishment for being the worst team in the league the previous year. Entertaining poo poo is bound to happen on really bad teams.

The other thing that is insane to me is that they have never leveraged the fact that they're in LA. Thousands of hungry talented young people who are smart and funny out here. Go hot take central but make it a youth movement. You can get a ton of inexpensive highly creative people who can do it all. I.E. Edit produce write and appear in front of camera.

I think they could've done something cool with that, especially since ESPN always namedrops that they are in LA, but it doesn't really feel like a very LA show.

A quick, and possibly obscure question in multiple parts: I'm going to be in Detroit for a week in June to watch the Tigers, but they're out of town for the last half of my trip. This just happens to coincide with England playing a cricket match. I'd like to watch a bit of the cricket while I'm out there, but as best I can tell, the England rights are shared between WatchESPN and something called ONE World Sports. How difficult is it going to be to access these on my laptop in my hotel then? Do I need to subscribe to ESPN to watch?

Most likely. If you have a friend with a log-in you may be able to use theirs.

Is it silly? Yeah. But I think everyone involved knows that.

Everyone I pretty much talk to is very much in on the joke, but enjoy it because it is indeed entertainment at the end of the day.

I don't know, he just comes across as a guy who rarely enjoys anything. He cites comic books and video games in the same thing. Like...okay? There's nothing wrong with geeking out over various poo poo as long as it makes you happy at the end of the day.
