Well, I guess given college football extends through January, including the National Championship, I will at least save about $120 plus...

But, sigh... Only a few games are available elsewhere--mainly ABC. Sheesh.

Local streaming radio for my favorite team appears to be my only option.

I am heartened to see so many others in Hollywood and elsewhere joining in to support Colbert, Kimmel and all the others against this horrifically unconstitutional attempt to extort our media. ABC/Disney iSafety in nos really going to regret their choice. Why the hell don't all the networks and other major outlets join together to sue the FCC? That they do not is beyond me. I feel like we are in mid-late 1930s NAZI Germany... Sigh.
