I was chased back to cable because it is impossible to watch the Yankees locally without it or illegal streams, and I'm too old and cranky to get a shady illegal stream working on my TV.

YES used to be available on every service and now it's available on zero. It was nice when cord-cutting was viable for sports fans but those days are over if you don't want to go the illegal streaming route.

MLB.tv plus a VPN is probably wayyyy cheaper than cable. But I understand just wanting the sort of “it always works” aspect of cable.

Fox Sports reportedly considering Skip Bayless courtroom sports debate show, a la Judge Judy

The optimal configuration is to have boomer parents who pay for terrestrial cable, and share their Spectrum login, while you, the adult child, pay for HBO and an ESPN/Disney/Hulu plus package, and you swap logins.

Having an NHL streaming subscription in central NJ is infuriating. I'm blacked out of games involving the Flyers/Devils/Rangers/Isles. That turns out to be a lot of games. I have workarounds but drat never again

Ugh, yeah. The one local sport I follow is MLS, so getting blacked out of Timbers and Sounders matches is some bullshit. It even checks my actual physical location to be sure, not the location of my parents' cable account (nothing is blacked out in Montana; we don't have pro sports there). Oh wait, there's also the Blazers, but I usually have to pirate their games anyway because they're not always on cable to begin with.

At least I only get blackouts of the Mets when they play the Mariners at T-Mobile Park. Wait, it's T-Mobile Park now? WTF?

I’m fine if they bring over most of the NBC people, as I don’t think any of them are horrendously bad.

All ESPN needs to do is make sure to include this, unchanged, at every opportunity:
