    If I'm not mistaken, the moral of this story is: you should screw both the cable and satellite companies AND support local businesses by going to your neighborhood sports bar and watching the games there. That way making a fraction of the price per individual viewer that they would otherwise be making if everyone signed up for all their crazy, exclusionary packages. #mediameltdowns

    Great work, Dash, although I still prefer your 10,000 word investigative expose conclusively proving that Bree Olsen has implants.
