whats WGN?

on a related note...TWC is offering me a deal I don't think I can pass up. I currently pay them ~40 for RR lite and another 105 goes to Dtv. TWC is offering to pay my contract termination fee with Dtv and then give me 7 Mbps RR with digital cable for 70. They are also going to lock the price in for 2 yrs, and there is no contract. I think its a no brainer.

if you feel like dealing with them for 2 years, go for it. after that, they are going to jack your rate up like a motherf**ker.. 24 month promotions will lock your rate in with anyone.

i know how they work. the same as Dtv. i was on a promotion, and then the price doubled. TWC and dish are my only options. at least TWC has the panthers in HD at no extra charge. with Dtv i'd have to get the ticket, and then pay extra for the hd on top of that. it would be more than 400 for the season. :eek:

it rained at my house last night. my Dtv tiled out.

why were you only getting half of what you pay for PanthaSan? were you not running through a box?

DirecTV or Dish network? WHen I had directv the only time i lost reception was during a very hard rain, like a downpour. Other than that, no problems.

That said, now I have uverse and its great.

Yes, we had tv in 4 rooms. I would call customer service and they would "reset" my box but it only worked for a few hours. I would get a message like "sorry but ANP is currently unavailable". It got really out of hand and we would have repairmen come out and find that a neigbor's sprinkler system flooded the box or this or that.

I even disconnected the boxes in the other 3 rooms and no luck.

Turns out that the signal get drastically degraded in out area and can't keep up with all the digital boxes and RR taxing the band width.

i'm gonna see how it goes. i may be with twc just long enough to get another promotion from directv. they don't budge on price after the promotional period. at least not for me. i just checked for U-verse in my area and it still isn't available.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

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

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
