Good ol' CB$$$...

Up 'til only 3 years ago, the _entire_ NCAA basketball tournament
used to be on CBS. And _all_ the major bowl games, NFL play-off
games, and BCS Championship game were carried "over the air" by CBS,
NBC, or ABC.

You've all made billion$$ . . . $$elling commercial time since
1947. That shudda bin enuf. And we didn't even charge you for
using OUR public airways to do it.

I get my TV signal "over the air". Living only about 50 mi. from
NYC, I wouldn't pay any of these thieving cable or satellite companies a
dime when I can get 42 channels – crystal clear digital – for free.
(Can't afford the $100+/mo. cable fee anyway. I'm disabled).

All set to watch my alma mater play Oregon for the national
championship in Glendale. Just found that good 'ol CB$$ $$old the
broadcast rights to "cable/satellite-only" E$PN. So now millions of
us who can't afford pay-TV are screwed.

Thanks CB$. Enjoy all your $$$$. And thanks for letting us poor
folks watch such drivel as "How I Met Your Mother", "Rules of
Engagement", and "Two 'n a Half Men" – while the rest of the country
is watching THE GAME. I know your mothers would all be so proud of
you.
