At this point the daft oval office is more known for the poo poo he's done off the pitch than on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile_Ranger#Controversies EDIT: and at this rate I don't think he'll ever get the chance to do anything worthwhile on the pitch either.

Jesus loving Christ how thick is Benzema seriously? If he's convicted, I can't see him getting back into the national team again, even if his prison sentence isn't long enough to put an end to his career.

Blue Star Error posted:What they did was akin to inviting Gazza out for a drink and then plastering ALKY GAZZA FALLS OFF WAGON all over the front page. I'm not sure I agree with that in return! If anyone were to do that to Gazza or some other alcoholic (or people with other addictions) that would be immoral and deplorable. They would be intentionally preying on a weakness, which is not quite what happened with Harry, IMO. I mean, yeah, there's an element of entrapment here, but Harry is just as capable as anyone else of saying "nope, not doing that, this is dodgy as gently caress, sorry lads" and walking out. Probably even moreso because as the England manager he should be financially well off and not actually in desperate need of money. It may not be lily white as far as morals go, but it's also interesting to hear how many bites they got, which could indicate a widespread issue of corruption in sport.

Brendan Rodgers posted:Did anyone used to watch Dream Team on Sky One, that drama about a fake football team wearing purple? Back when that show was on the telly in Finland the channel running it raffled off Harchester United replica shirts. My brother won one of them. I should see if he still has it somewhere. That's my Dream Team story.

His lawyer is claiming the cocaine ended up in his system "by accident" and through some way they just can't explain. Well I guess you gotta at least TRY.

So obviously now the next move is to strip the games from Qatar and give them to someone else while there's still time to organize, then prosecute those involved to make sure they never hold positions of power in football again, right? Right, guys? Right?

CyberPingu posted:Could Sky make more money if they made individual games purchasable? Traditional wisdom is no. People are habitual subscribers and will stay subscribed to things even if they're not actively using them, because cancelling would be a hassle and a bunch of other reasons. Once you hook someone in, chances are they will stay hooked unless something drastic happens, whereas with individual matches on demand you have to get people to make that purchasing decision every game, which is a lot harder to sustain. One of the podcasts I listen to is hosted by a guy who is management at some international corporation (he hasn't said which one, for obvious reasons) that does a lot of on-demand video streaming stuff. Apparently the Premier League have explored a variety of options as they're waking up to the fact that traditional cable subscriptions are becoming a thing of the past, and people are moving to á la carte streaming services. They have hired companies to do analysis on the various scenarios (PL moving to a purely online subscription service, matches being sold on-demand, rights being split up among various streaming services etc) and the general feeling is that there is a vast market they're not currently reaching because many people don't want to pay 50 moneys a month for a cable subscription, and they could potentially make a lot more money with streaming options. Apparently the leading option is a dedicated PL streaming service, but the problem is producing content for that streaming service in-house. The PL currently offer in-house commentary on all the matches for foreign services that don't have their own commentary teams as well as their own weekly magazine shows, but that's still a far cry from the studio setups, pundit lineups and other filler stuff you'd need to sell a dedicated streaming service to people. But I guess it's the direction we're moving in. Mickolution posted:I really doubt it. What would they charge per game? A few years ago the Finnish national hockey league moved first to a dedicated cable channel, then a bunch of dedicated cable channels (basically enough channels to broadcast all the games in a single round at once), and finally online, offering both monthly subscriptions as well as VOD options. The monthly subscriptions are by far the better deal even if you only watch a game or two a month; individual games cost close to 10€ apiece, whereas a monthly pass for one team's games is 19,99€. Obviously the idea is to hook everyone in as subscribers and keep their subscriptions auto-renewing as people forget to cancel them, and buying individual games is intended to be prohibitively expensive.
