Giants-49ers was on Fox from 4:15-7:30ish. The baseball game started at 8. Read more
That is a question I don't think anyone wants answered. Read more
Yeah, laser is the way to go then. The ones I see at the club I work at are Bushnell and Laser Link. They're both great (the Bushnells are a little more compact). It'll definitely cost you, though—like $400 new. Read more
As a caddy I feel obligated to respond to your golf question. I've got one of these. It's cheap, but usually pretty accurate. The downside is it only gives you the distance to the front, center, and back of the green. If you're willing to spend the extra cash (and if your game is any good), you're much better off… Read more
This only counts viewers watching live on television and on DVR the same day. Read more
If there's no federal law on a subject, the states are allowed to make their own (the tenth amendment). Presumably this is what happened in those four states prior to the PASPA in 1992. When PASPA was passed, the government decided to let those states keep their laws. Read more
It's a lot easier to turn a blind eye when the guy taking bets is just some old Italian guy in a Queens basement and not a Trump casino. Read more
Thanks. As the list expanded it got hard to keep track of all the countries. Read more
The point is that a disproportionate amount of coverage is given to Americans. Considering the tape delay format, NBC has a tremendous amount of editorial control over their broadcast. They have plenty of time to decide what is and isn't worth covering that night. For example, plenty of people have said that Irish… Read more
But back to Pierzynski: I think blowing a difficult play because three guys went all-out isn't half as embarrassing as messing up a routine play as badly as the A's did. Read more
I would argue it's actually a good play on his part. He's charging down the line when he sees the batter square to bunt. When he sees the first baseman and pitcher bungle it, he goes for the ball. The first baseman is able to recover and pick up the ball, but the third baseman's momentum is carrying him towards the… Read more
Looks like he sort of half-heartedly went to cover third as well, before realizing the catcher was already there. Read more
That Astros play is a tough play, though. The ball is really in no man's land there between the pitcher and first baseman. It's going to be a close call at first so they rush the throw and it goes wide. Read more
That's what I get for trying to do this as quickly as possible. Read more
That is utterly false. NBC is an American company; they only broadcast in America (and portions of Canada near the American border). The BBC has the rights in Britain. CBC has the rights in Canada. Do you think France, Spain, Germany, Japan, etc. only have access to the NBC feed with Bob Costas speaking English? Read more
Whoa. The Dutch #19 is the same player who hit the New Zealand player the other day. She just can't stop whacking girls in the face. Read more
Also note the sheer look of horror on the Dutch girl's face. Read more
Very true. Read more
