    And you base this on what inside knowledge?

    "think" -- opinion or belief

    Then there's these things called "observation, reflection, and deduction" You can review the forum archive for the history of that process.

    Had I said I know yadda yadda yadda -- you'd be right to ask me how I know.

    And even then I would say, information is information; "inside" information is not a particularly useful qualification.

    CSN Executive to Brian Bilello, who can't seem to find in the contract where it says that CSN can switch games at will...

    Nice cop out.

    Based on observation, reflection and deduction, here's what I think.
    The people at the Kraft Group have been involved in negotiating a lot of contracts.
    I think there's a good chance that the issue of potential conflicts with other events was addressed.
    I don't know how much leverage the Revs actually had in these negotations.
    (Were there other bidders? I don't know)
    The conflict with the Celtics playoff game only became apparent at the last minute.
    Not surprisingly, Comcast opted to go with the Celtics.
    Comcast, or the Revolution, did find alternative stations to air the game.
    Unfortunately, some sort of technical ********-up happened.
    I don't think this technical ********-up was the Revs fault.

    I'm done.

    CSN HD + game replays + scheduling conflicts >> TV38 AV club broadcast + every game being on when its supposed + no replays >> REVs FO ability to negotiate a proper TV package without some kind of amateurishness involved


    The past two weeks have been a nuisance as I have ended up having to watch the games after the fact, and avoid accidentally seeing the score

    If Bilello were a ship captain, he would have blogged that response from Davy Jones' Locker.

    CSN, HD for 4/24???

    My Dish is showing that the REV vs COL game is only in Standard Def. What's up with that? I thought at least all home games would be in HD.

    DirecTV seems to be showing something called 'Get Ripped in 90 Days' or 'New England Fishing Journal', apparently.
