After all the amusing ads for Hulu and its live sports, Dame and the Blazers seem to have no home for live broadcasts this season. Also sucks if you wanted to get in on the ground floor of Kraken fandom but live in the PNW. https://www.blazersedge.com/2021/10/12/22723438/television-blazers-root-sports-directv-youtube-hulu

harperdc posted:what about cable? I am one of those lucky jerks who has access to a Spectrum login from a subscriber who I’m pretty sure gets ROOT Sports, unless it’s not part of the default plan. My parents don’t really do sports, and I’m not going to ask them to pay more for stuff I can stream off of pirate sites. Mostly, I’m laughing that one of Hulu’s spokesmen for live sports is on a team that’s not shown on Hulu live sports at the moment. Shout out again to Dorna for having had a mostly solid MotoGP video subscription option since before everyone did NordVPN ads on their YouTubes. And Willow.tv, who are impossible to cancel once you sign up, but will feed you all the high quality live cricket you can eat.

specifically the host broadcaster, ROOT Sports, doesn't have a deal with DirecTV, YouTubeTV, or Hulu, or Dish Network on satellite.

Henchman of Santa posted:Honestly most devastated that I can’t watch Jeopardy now because it’s on a local ABC affiliate. I guess I’ll just switch to Hulu live because it’s the same price that YTTV was. Can you pick it up OTA? I got a cheap flat antenna for Jeopardy, but I live in a city with strong OTA signals, and my TV handles digital cable like a champ. Sometimes football games come through in higher fidelity than streaming online.

Thaddius the Large posted:I don’t know about this dramatization but the books they’re based on are absolutely fantastic If it's on PBS, I bet it's super wholesome. I went to visit my parents a few years back, and they got hooked on a similarly themed show set in a rural part of the UK, and I kept texting people all, "I am watching the gentlest TV show ever and it's such a nice change of pace."

Bird in a Blender posted:It's extremely dumb, and I don't know how every AD in the conference didn't immediately push back. Let them fight. Preferably to the death. My birth town is one of the most beautiful places on the planet, and there is almost nothing that could even get me to go visit it at this point. Yellowstone supervolcano when? Just wipe it off the planet, it’s a loss. This is so loving upsetting.

Bird in a Blender posted:Same. I’m surprised the pro bowl still drew that many viewers. It is the most pointless of the already pointless all star games. My dad's random football texts, and the reminder that he's always said, "the best games are the playoffs," mean I've paid the most attention to the NFL in the past couple of months than I have in a while. On top of having experienced a brain-breaking event a decade-ish ago where falling asleep in front of the NFL Channel's combine coverage was the most soothing thing possible for reasons I cannot explain. Even I didn't bother with any of the pro bowl this year.

DJExile posted:Pro sports yes, but that and Saturday are huge days for college football. Can confirm, Black Friday shopping in Eugene, Oregon is an entirely different experience, because everyone who's not stuck at work is at the Civil War game. Still blows my mind that the "cross state" rivalry is two schools within like an hour of each other.

soggybagel posted:The black widow one sounds cool. I know nothing about her but I remember seeing her on ESPN all the time. The ravens one, when they inevitably gloss over the Ray Lewis stuff will suck. Oh drat, she was our favorite among my college friends who’d stay up late and watch ESPN: the Ocho on the regular. None of us knew poo poo all about the sports we were watching, even pool, which most of us allegedly knew how to play. But she seemed so cool and unflappable that anytime there was pool on, we’d be yelling down the hall for everyone in the dorm to come watch.

There were rumors that they would fund Valentino Rossi’s teams, but I’m not sure it made it past the rumor stage before the backlash got untenable for him. My hot take is Uccio was doing some shady poo poo behind Vale’s back, but I do so love a good Italian motorcycle racing drama story.

For those who don’t live within 10 hours drive of where that took place, it’s such a big deal that yesterday, if you crossed over the border from Idaho, the interstate emergency signs on I-84 told you there was a track event in Eugene. Freaked me out because I couldn’t parse what a track event in Eugene meant as I was about to drive into potentially sketchy conditions around Ladd Canyon, but I’m not originally from here and I don’t have Steve Prefontaine permanently tattooed in my brain.

Mahoning posted:God I hate this sort of language that removes any blame. “No way around that”. As if it’s a conscious force of it’s own and not a cynical choice made by greedy billionaires. I loving hate Canzano and wish he’d gently caress off out of Oregon sports sooner than later. During COVID in early to mid 2020, he was in the Oregonian on a regular basis shouting that we should reopen the schools and get pro sports back on track because SPORTS UBER ALLES. I had to stop reading OregonLive because every time I saw his byline, I wanted to throw my phone.

howe_sam posted:https://twitter.com/umphreysmcgee/status/1560627653140422658 There's probably a dedicated Umphrey's fan on the staff somewhere who made it happen. Source, I have several coworkers who spend all their free time flying to Umphrey's shows, who still have to explain who the gently caress they're going to see on a regular basis. But they'd cut a bitch to make sure they get their Umphrey's time. Ninja edit: I still have never listened to a single song of theirs, despite sitting next to one of said superfans for almost a year in the past.

My favorite blackout fuckery was when the NBA was playing in The Orlando Bubble, and "home" Blazers games were still blacked out in Portland. The gently caress you want me to do, NBA? loving fly to Florida and break the bubble in order to watch the loving games?

GoatSeeGuy posted:(One guy got so pissed when HBO finally did it he used his own equipment to override HBO's signal) One of the dorm buildings at my college had an HBO descrambler that someone had hidden in the walls, and for well over a decade one of the selling points for moving into that building was, "Free cable WITH HBO!" Until the IT team was running upgraded ethernet infrastructure over the summer, and found the thing. If another group's supervisor hadn't come by while we were doing the work, we would have just shoved it back in place, but once building management knew where it was, welp.

DJExile posted:in other news, whooboy lol, I mean, the marketing was, "Hi, I'm Post Malone, and I'm here on behalf of the Utah tourism department!" Yeah, Utah has some mountains and poo poo, that's cool. So, basketball? No, let's talk about skiing with a guy who likes Pokemon instead. I like the NBA, I like seeing NBA players do stupid poo poo, and all star games are a guilty pleasure of mine, and I still skipped it. I guess Dame did a thing that was neat?

Kalli posted:It's pretty trivial to just watch the best players do their thing these days, which just kinda kills the magic of all star games. Add in that the players are visibly not giving a poo poo and welp. The other upside is not playing a full-fat NFL game (with players unfamiliar with each other) means less risk of injuries. Ideally, that'd make for more participation?

You should ping me if they get that good. I've stopped following them, and my teammates at work seem to be doing the same. Pretty sad, given how so many of us were invested in the Timbers before the management were revealed to be inveterate shitweasels.

Jfc Are they still giving away free tickets if you fill up at Shell stations? Always found it funny that one of the top level sports teams here gets treated like a high school team needing to do bake sales. And I still won't buy overpriced gas when there are so many other options around. Thorns are cool, I should get a scarf.

It'd be better if it felt like a sincere bit, but it's just a man being clueless about famous people. He really needs a straight man to play that off of, but that's not how grid walk reporters operate. Makes me wonder whose buried bodies he knows about.
