And you think CHSN will be any better?

Not for Bears coverage, it doesn't. Marquee was a huge downgrade. I'm really not looking forward to the CHSN broadcast. The commentators will be heavily policed, and they will do nothing but parrot the company line. Especially when it comes to Bulls and White Sox coverage.

I was referring to the poster above me that mentioned an outdoor antenna. And if you look at the link he posted, there's a whole bunch of suburbs where indoor reception will be "hard". It's like people don't remember how much rabbit ears fucking sucked. It's a downgrade in every aspect.

Also, asking your customers to jump through an additional hoop to watch your teams is an absolutely terrible business decision. The fact that people can watch the teams for free OTA with an antenna is great. What's not great is alienating the rest of your customer base that consumes their sports through the internet...

The reality is, most people aren't going to buy and hookup an antenna to watch these three shitty teams. I'm a big sports fan, and there's zero chance I'm doing it. It's 2024. Broadcasting comes over the internet, not through a fucking radio signal. Losing the ability to pause, rewind, and record a game without spending a ton of money on an OTA DVR, is a deal-breaker. Having to have an antenna on every TV I might want to watch a game on, is a deal-breaker. Not being able to watch on my computer in my office, is a deal breaker. I'm not even considering it. I will just not watch them, like a WHOLE BUNCH of people I know. We are talking about putting a fucking antenna on a roof to watch sports teams, in 2024? LMAO. What a fucking joke. For anyone looking for some reassurance about being able to watch the Bulls/Hawks in October without DirecTV or an antenna? This sure as hell isn't going to help: Do you know why CHSN is going to fail? Because the guy running it is just another Reinsdorf asshole made President because he's buddies with Brooks Boyer and JR.

First time I've turned them on in ages. Assuming they lose, probably the last time for the foreseeable future.

Speak for yourself. I'm just here to watch the wreckage burn, at this point. I am only watching tonight hoping they break the record. f*** this team and their scumbag loser of an owner.

Honestly, nothing surprises me anymore. It's going to take a new owner and a complete house cleaning before this team has my Fandom again. I know I'm not alone in this. The damage they have done in the last few seasons, that started with hiring TLR, and culminated with not one, but two signings of that scumbag Clevinger, is catastrophic and unrecoverable. Until JR dies and every last one of his sycophants is gone, I'm going to actively root against this team. I hope they're just as bad next season. This franchise is dead, and there's one piece of s%*# to blame for all of it. Every single problem comes back to him, and TLR.

This forum absolutely needs a WTF reaction. Someone please make it happen.

I can be a Sox fan and not give a f***.

It's called IDGAF.

Boomer brain.

The cognitive dissonance that you olds possess is truly insane. It's amazing how it extends to all aspects of your lives.

No issues with Moncada sitting, but if he's sitting, it should be Ramos at third. If Ramos isn't playing third, I sure as hell don't want Vargas there, and would rather have Moncada. This organization is just clueless.

It isn't the age of the plane. It's the fact that it sucks and is worse than the rest of the league. Seriously. Eight first class seats?

The bolded is 100% accurate.

I couldn't imagine being a 6'+ 200+ lb. athlete and flying coach everywhere. It's just unfathomable to me. Flying coach after playing a hockey game the night before is absolutely miserable. Your whole body is tight, you have no room to stretch, you're cramped... These guys are professional athletes. It's absurd to fly coach. Lol

This is an absolutely idiotic take. First off, they would be better off flying commercial first class. Second, they fly on a weekly basis. Their charter should be top of the line for a major market team with an owner worth over $2B dollars. Finally....the charter plane isn't being blamed for their s%*# play. It's being cited as a symptom of the cancer that is Jerry Reinsdorf. When your amenities and facilities are second class compared to the rest of the league....why would anyone want to play here? It hinders free agent signings as well as player morale. It's a huge problem.

He should be fired for the Vargas trade alone.

You know what's more comfortable for passengers? First class. You know what sucks? Flying coach. Have you ever seen how most professional athletes fly? The White Sox charter an Airbus320, a plane first manufactured in the 1980s. It features only eight first-class seats; the rest is coach. The article isn't BS at all. It's as thorough a breakdown and evisceration of the worst organization in professional sports, and why they're the worst, as you will ever see. Perhaps you should read it instead of focusing on a minute detail of the article and immediately calling it BS.

Was this actually a thing? Holy s%*#...

Talk to me October 1st.

And one instance where the metrics and the eye test match up perfectly. There's literally nothing there. He's a AA caliber player.

It is just mind blowing that they accepted this guy as the return for their best trade assets. You won't be able to give him away next season. He's total garbage.

Vargas is one of the worst baseball players I have ever seen. Why is this asshole playing 3rd again?
