Vinni, is there any way I can just select the channel a la carte? I don't know how to go about ordering ESPN Deportes if I cannot just buy it as a single entity.

If not, how are you going to select your programming now? I don't want to lose our current set up..
Unfortunately, I think it's only part of a package deal -- that relic of the cable TV past that is destined for antiquity in a matter of a few years.
 

Buy on AliExpress.com

If you're right, that would really suck. You would essentially have to pay for America's top 180 and also buy the Latino Basic package or whatever, spending about 80 bucks a month. That doesn't make any sense and they should know that people like me only care about this one specific channel. They should just stick it in the regular programming along with ESPN U and such.

More sheer brilliance from our special friend Seven.

Instead of assuming the obvious, I wanted to check out if Andy really is that much worse than Hitler. Therefore I I will weigh up pros and cons and battle them out.

Andy: He's pretty much your average guy. His parents told him what was good and what wasn't and he assumed they were right. He never felt the need to think about his opinions on good and bad, because it's clear for him that they are right.

Pro: Because of this attitude he will never resort to behaviour that is so extreme and violent that it will cost millions of lives.
Con: He will always be subject to feelings of guilt that are unjustified and indoctrinated.
Con: Since he hasn't thought about the concept of good and wrong himself, he'll assume others haven't either. Therefore he will act as if these things are proved facts, rather than guessings of a demented fool.
Con: He will belittle anyone who disagrees with him and will make sure they're being thought of as disgraceful idiots who are yet to learn their place in this world.


Hitler: Took the time to build an entire philosophy about what he believed was good and what wasn't. He even stood by his philosophy at the end of the war, which resulted in the death of many of his fellow countrymen. Though I don't share the same principles, I do acknowledge the fact that Hitler at least thought things through.

Pro: He thought about good and wrong and built his own philosophy. Therefore he can do what he wants as long as it fits in his philosophy. You won't notice absurd holes in his philosophy either, like you do in Andy's.
Pro: When Hitler talked, people actually listened. Why? Because Hitler had something to say. He thought about something new rather than rehashing what people had said before.
Con: He slaugthered millions of people.

Yeah Greg, you might as well just reopen the thread because the discussion will undoubtedly continue in here.

Oh, it doth sucketh. Let this be a real-life marketing less for Burke as he studies with his favorite 40. This is what happens when marketing defines people in inflexible demographic groups with no awareness of cross-over.

To Dish Network, like a lot of other entertainment programmers, it's unfathomable to consider someone could watch Fox Sports Channel, want ESPN Deportes, and not live for Sabado Gigante with Don Francisco.

    FFS I leave for about 8 hours and 11 Fvckin pages are written....I had enough of Seven's original comeback i.e. "CHECK YOUR GRAMMAR"
    Pado's cute nicknames i.e. CandyCaneLou and Jeeks watching the TRUIMPH STAR WARS video way too much


    PAUL: I'm not sure which FOOTBALL FACTORY version I have...I purchased the DVD in London..so its probably not the unedited version or whatever.

    I have not checked out Lords of War just yet but its nice to see Nic Cage is getting back to his old style rather than the crap he has generated in since his Oscar win.

    I have seen the REVOLVER trailer...I thought Lock, Stock was fvckin awesome....Snatch was a more expensive version of Lock, Stock and the Swept Away (no comment)...any release dates for the U.S.?


    Personally I thought some of Hornby's ideas and theories about being a 'fan' in Fever Pitch were spot on ... the type of book that is a good read after your team is up 3-0 at half time and goes on to lose the match.

    By the way Paul...you familiar with Il Barone?? I always tried to convince him to write a book ....

    Hey Nick, I will be bringing the tape of the Champions League Final along with me on our trip up to Scranton to watch before and after we beat that shitty campus.

    Hopefully it will teach these non-European-soccer-watchers a thing or two about HOW the game is supposed to be played. On my team only four people watch European soccer...and we expect to win matches...absolutely laughable.

    But I will certainly remember to point out Milan's mistakes in the second half...those wankers.

    This thread is deteriorating fastly.

    But there is still some hope for it if someone explains us why does Milan sucks so much against schalke....

    Nesta, kaka, gilardino, kaladze were playing plain and pure sh+t.
    At this level of play, Milan run in the CL would not be long....

    Nickybot, any idea ?

    I suppose I can see why Seven has compared me to Hitler...the fact that he has not won a single argument against me must be burning him alive.
    No. But the fact you always claim these things does. You're a full of shit.

    Andy, Seven: please humor me in at least pretending to chill for a little while. None of this is really going anywhere other than a big time and energy sinkhole for everybody involved (and even those not).

    And, to be honest, it's starting to put me to sleep and lull me into a stupor. If Claire wasn't so talented at finding ways to get herself banned, she'd probably call you both on how boring and predictable you've become at this. :yawn:

    At least Eaglesnake is trying to liven things up with far more interesting trash talk... :lazy:

    still on top. so still a good sign. the performance wasnt that crash hot, but im not too worried. in champions league we always have the edge.
    im more worried about the serie a. if we dont get some consistancy, juve could run away with this one.

    I wouldn't say he hasn't won a single argument. You just don't realise most of the things he has said. Back before he lost the plot he did make good points, just not in the right way or at the right time.

    You're hardly helping btw. I think you like this.

    No, it was probably the way you told that Jewish girl you couldn't take her to the prom because your mother said "those people have horns ".

    Of course he didn't realise most of the things I said, but he can't help it you know. And I haven't lost the plot, Jae ;).
