Wouldn't it be cool if it were easy to watch games online, legally? Nah we're just gonna make it as hard as possible!

Don’t forget the blackouts online forcing you to pay for the largest cable subscription your town offers if you want to watch! Compared to getting 3ish games on a pair of bunnies ears in the middle of nowhere every Sunday plus Monday night football. It makes it very easy to see why the nfl is still so popular

At press time the NHL was hoping it could stay ahead of professional darts and college softball in the ratings

I'm dying. Either from laughter and sadness, I'm honestly not sure which.

The NHL should run an ad campaign showing football players rolling around on the floor and arguing with the refs, compared to hockey where it's action until the end.

From hockey's perspective, I think it could do with fewer stoppages and a shorter overall run time. I know it won't happen because of advertising though.

TBH I kinda wish the season was shorter. By the time april rolls around I have no interest in watching anymore because its so nice outside

Anything would be better than constantly running gambling adds.
