I use Skype to talk to my family in Finland on occasion and have been using it regulary the past couple weeks to talk to my daughter up in NJ. It's free to video chat so I am not sure about the coupon and trial periods, etc.

I might be wrong but I have used it about 10 times and don't pay anything. I admittedly don't know a whole lot about it because I use my son's laptop and he always signs me in and hands it to me. I presume he does that so I don't accidently come across all the XXX sites that he visits while trying to pull up Skype.

Used Skype while I was studying in England to keep in touch with friends/family back in the States. It's free for computer-to-computer calls, though you have to pay if you want to make a call from your computer to a landline. Also might have to pay for conference calls, though I haven't had to before. I've skyped with up to 7 people at the same time, but that was when Skype had Beta testing for its multi-chat service, and I haven't used it since then so I don't know if it's still free or not.

But if all you're wanting to do is video chat with your sister in Prague, it won't cost you a dime.

      After some of the calls last year probably won't see much of a drop off

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
