    No, my comments are not misleading. The disaggregated cost of 78 hours of annual Quakes programming amidst nearly a billion hours of programming (and maybe more) is a small fraction of a penny. De minimis. Legally zero. I’ve made the point repeatedly.

    It’s not a page ripped from a book. It’s more akin to a single seagull peeing in an ocean.

    I'm not disputing this assertion is misleading.

    I'm asserting an initial, lone, comment: "Comcast was free" is misleading.

    The first reply was "no it's not".

    You really think that person was debating you on the ratio of cost of Quakes coverage hours to overall cost of the total hours of cable available?

    Season Pass now features a Next Pro section where they list 6 games for each team. There will probably be MLS Next section for Generation Adidas Cup and likely for MLS Next academy playoffs.

    Are you not an Earthquakes season ticket holder?

    I am. But that is not material to the question of the cost of watching Quakes games on Comcast.

    Aren't the Quakes games as free on AppleTV to someone who is already a season ticket holder as they were on Comcast to someone who was already paying for Comcast?

    To get the game on a big TV you need something to run the Apple TV App. It's possible Don is old school enough (has all he desires from Comcast) that his TV inventory does not include the capability to run the app. :)

    That's absolutely true that my TV and I are old school. I do have the MLS Apple season pass on my desktop computer, though. And its free for me as a season ticketholder.

    But that's not my point regarding Quakes games being free for Comcast subcribers.

    Not going to buy Apple TV when I can watch all kinds of soccer and other sports on TV/Comcast. All the local teams are there, no need for streaming. Could watch all of the Sharks, Giants, A's, Warriors, & 49ers games if I wanted to. Just one pres on the remote and they are there. Don't need to hook a PC up to my TV and run the Apple app.
    Tried to watch during the 1st game when it was free and the Apple stream would not run on my browser (Firefox) and would have download and install the Apple App. Don't think so.

    The only MLS games I watch are Quakes games. Don't watch the playoffs, all star game and whatever that league cup thing with the Mexican league they came up with. Guess I am through with MLS.

    Alfred answers it for him. When he talks about his “man cave” it’s really code for the bat cave.

    You don't? What are you going to use when cell service goes down? Plus my wife being an OR RN has to be reachable 24/7 when she is on call.

    The line is there of course but we haven’t had service to it for many years, and have never lost cell service once in all those years. With redundancy I’m not sure that cell service isn’t more reliable than land line at this point but I don’t know.

    I've never ever in my entire adult life, ever owned a landline telephone. I couldn't even tell you where to buy them anymore. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
