If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.



Cut the cable.

We cut the cord two years ago. We don’t miss cable. At. All.

I’m hearing it’s not that but Olbermann’s sniping at NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

Supposedly ESPN got handed some lousy Monday Night Football games in retribution.

Cut the cord 2 1/2 years ago.

You’re welcome.

Moved to Connecticut a year ago and never called the cable company (other than to get internet). I remember the initial hookup where the guy asked us why we weren't getting a TV package and told us he'd "be back soon" after we changed our minds.

But it was liberating. I stream music most of the day and only watch the TV at night in which we will stream a movie or some TV episodes from Netflix or Amazon Prime.

Don't miss regular TV at all except maybe NFL football.

But last season, I started getting in the habit of seeing the games at a local restaurant, such as a Buffalo Wild Wings or some other sports bar. It's a much better way to watch football. Get to order a few rounds of chicken wings and beers and don't even have to clean up afterwards. That's how I'm going to spend my Sunday afternoons from October to January.

This is a wonderful opportunity for Keith to once again experience the carefree life associated with long-term unemployment.

Maybe he can take some time to begin his novel or learn to play a musical instrument. Or maybe he can learn to do something useful, like reading stories to old people.

Sumpin'... because he's sure as hell running out of rich idiots who are willing to employ him.

The Olber-moron? Didn’t know he was back on.

This is going to end free media as we know it. You don’t pay for TV(or cable, or streaming) the advertisers do. You are the product, not the customer. There is a generation of people coming up that expect their entertainment to be free, and ad free.

That means the end of media as we know it. Not sure what comes next, but it won’t be like we have it now.

It’s kind of like stemming an inbound cesspool.

I recently downgraded...by about $50/month...my cable service.The downgrade meant that I'd lose ESPN and the NFL Network.I balked at first but then realized that any Patriots games on those networks are also broadcast on a local station...Channel 5.

So I guess I played a small role in that pig's departure.I truly hope that he doesn't have to resort to SSI and food stamps. /s

The subscriber loss probably had more to with ESPN referring to “Caitlyn” Jenner as a hero.

I thought Over-Him got fired from ESPN or some sports network years ago when I lived in Arizona. They actually hired him back after that loser network, MSNBC, fired him? And now they have fired him a 2nd time? I know liberals have issues but the management of ESPN would seem to be smarter than to hire a loser twice.

Beats me. The guy's a disgusting, vile individual. He was the most hateful person I ever saw on TV. He'll curl up into a fetal position and feel sorry for himself until he starts drinking and doing drugs and becomes homeless. Good luck, Keith. You suck.

You still have to pay for the Internet. Who do you think owns that?

That may have been helpful. But ultimately, the one common factor in all Keith’s poorly-ending work relationships is Keith.

ESPN is a victim of its own success. They started out paying cable companies 10 cents a subscriber to run the network.Tthen as they gained more clout cable companies started paying them. Then ESPN was demanding extortolnist rates and many cable companies moved them to Basic + or Premium pay levels and customers began refusing to pay for stuff that was once free.

Back to his mother’s basement . . . how sad! Maybe Rachel Mad-Cow will get him on her/his/its show.

Oblermann and his problems staying employed: It’s not that Keith is liberal to the point of madness, it’s that he was a jerk to coworkers.
