The 18-mile rail journey ordinarily costs $12.90 for a return ticket. https://t.co/vjGqvpr1qT
Mike Breen: "1st time ever…entire playoffs exclusive to national TV…poor decision…fans want to hear their home team announcers, at least 1st round…part of the family. I get networks pay a fortune…but fans deserve to be thrown a bone…This is our final telecast of the season"
Watching The Masters very limited advertising, tiny number of elite sponsors, wondering if/why not the NFL/NBA/MLB do the same thing.
Far less commercials with far fewer sponsors/advertisers paying huge premiums for that right.
Money could be same/better, viewers would love it.

What a beautiful thing. TMZ is how these people deserve to get covered. Not with the weepy piety of hill reporters who all have politicians in their profile pictures but sicko, unhinged papparazzi who believe in nothing.
europeans will ride a train going 200 mph through the alps while drinking wine and americans will sit in traffic on I-95 for three hours eating a gas station sandwich and say "at least i have my freedom" brother you are imprisoned by a honda accord
Just saw a Ryan Gosling interview where he says he liked the story of Project Hail Mary because it has the message that the future isn't something to be feared, it's something to be figured out. And that's a message he wants his kids to hear. Awesome.

A 15-year-old who dreams of being a sports reporter traveled 18 hours for the Copa Libertadores final in Peru.
He couldn't get a media credential, so he climbed to the top of a hill, put his phone on a tripod, and called the match from there.
