I'd put NFL in the latter category. Baseball is in between, although with the price/availability of Red Sox tickets, TV is my only feasible choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804718502406028481.post-42841653808709989642011-02-14T19:56:08.259-05:002011-02-14T19:56:08.259-05:00My bad, Don.

And nobody ..."And we've heard this before. And nobody believes in the dream anymore."<br /><br />no crap. even if it's on TV, I don't see it actually getting more people to play, or to save the ever "struggling" paint industry. I expect some horrible camera angles and a poor overall perception portrayed. for the whole, what, 3 months it'll be on TV? jaded? oh, yeah.<br /><br />also, a paintball loser like me can't afford cable, let alone the $50 extra package for ESPN Tres, or whatever (there may not even be a fee, but I've watched as "The Sunday Ticket" went from $99 to I think now $300).<br /> to be completely negative, even paintball players won't see this. unless they are rich/pro. which is pretty much everyone who plays these days.papa chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327300420900886575noreply@blogger.com
