What ESPN is doing is not corporate greed, they outbid FOX (who by the way was terrible at their presentation of college football and there is no denying that) in a fair negotiation. There is a reason cable networks as a whole have had viewership rise while the networks are failing. Channels that are able to specialize are normally able to give you a much better product.

Stop!
They could present the same product, the game, to the whole country on ABC and not lose a cent.

This is corporate greed at it's finest!
Please explain to me how they would lose money by broadcasting the game on ABC, their partner?

I'm not saying they would lose money by placing it on ABC because they wouldn't. They would obviously make more money on ABC but the entire idea behind putting it on ESPN is to continue building the brand that ESPN is the place you go for college football.

Fairley is an absolute monster, but the Cardinals wouldn't draft the guy. He has a little of Haynesworth in him.

It's the field. Same thing was going on in the Dallas/Arizona game. Time to ditch the mobile field and get one with those black dippin dots.

I think it's because they lay new grass too often. I believe they did before the Cowpies game after playing HS games there if I heard correctly

I think you are right. Remember something about the HS games being mentioned on the broadcast.

I just saw a play on that got the first down with someone running wide open down the middle and he ran it.

Yep, no thank you.

We are talking first downs, and he got one on the play. I figured as a Cards fan you would dig that homie. I think Newton will be gone when we pick, if so... throw me on your Gabbert wagon amigo.:)
