Cool

I suspect we will have a lot 'free' content coming our way in the future to get people 'hooked' on a channel

A ha!

Looks like big media is starting to figure out how to make money online! Welcome to 2005!

Now I can watch in the office without paying

Just wish it wasn't out of market games... the first year (and the other years) I paid so I could follow a particular team... on occasion the local game coverage would switch games because of a blowout thus preventing me from following my team though I paid to do so. I would gladly pay again if it allowed access to all games or a particular team's games not just out of market games.

Blackouts

Blackouts are archaic. We have a mobile society and fans of teams live all over the country and world. They do not just live within 100 miles of the site a game is played. Especially with the NCAA's which are sold out to begin with and normal fans can't even afford the tickets. There should be no black outs and CBS should take the lead in getting this changed. Comman person can not watch but if you have a satelitte link you can watch anything creating two societies.
