Wow, after getting screwed out of seeing Bobcats game in their first couple seasons, this is bad news. I've seen every Bobcats game that they've shown on TV except 2 or 3 so far and I'm going to the Magic game on Jan 23rd courtside seats.

This will be a huge blow to me if this happens.

According to wikipedia Fox Sports South will not be affected, but Sportssouth which is scheduled to show 20 more games this season (and possibly playoff games) will be affected.

FIRST: Time Warner is the DEVIL!! I hate them so much when they called me I told them that on their survey.

Second: It will more then likely get taken care of hours before the Jan 1st deadline.

In this situation I like Time Warner. The broadcasting companies are raising the rates and TWC does not want to let them raise them as much as they are asking. If they just bent over and paid the additional fees, it'd be passed along to us consumers and then you'd be bitching that TWC was raising their cable rates.

Nope, I don't have TWC anymore. They are the worst company I have ever had to deal with. I will say also that the myth it would raise your TWC bill is a scare tactic used by TWC. Have you not noticed TWC has raised there rates over 20% in the last 4 years??

Nope. I pay 90 dollars a month for digital cable with 2 boxes and road runner. I paid 98 dollars a month 3 years ago. When I last moved I priced everyone out and nobody else was cheaper than TWC for what I was looking for. Everyone else charges you more for local channels and high definition channels. TW came out to be about 10 dollars per month cheaper than the next best option which was UVerse.

Mr. T, That's a great deal. I had a very different experience with TWC. I really think it depends on where you live. I had TWC for over 10 years with no problems before moving and then after moving it was TWC from Hell. I was also told after paying the bundle price for 10 years it was going to be MUCH HIGHER for same services. During the 45 days I had TWC here I had only one item in the "Bundle Package" working correctly. Only two days did all three work correctly all at once. Needless to say they got to know my house very well. Then after I had them repair a High Speed Roadrunner Line. the TWC rep cut the lines to my Direct TV Dish at the DISH. I was REALLY MAD. TWC apologized for it and supposedly fired the guy. They asked me to come in to there district office and talked with me about it.

Yeah $2 last year, and $2 next. Soon I will have only the basic tier. Of the 77 channels they offer here in Winston I might watch 25, so I really won't be missing much. But at least I will catch up on my reading.

You'll lose all your HD channels (except the locals). I guess that only matters though if you care about watching in HD.

Anyway, my bills would be higher if I ever let the promotions run out, but generally if you tell them to shut down your account because you're switching to a cheaper provider, they'll just renew your promotion.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.

      It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
