Well, my 2 years just came up with Direct TV. I was paying $140 a month for Sho, HBO, all the BS channels, etc...I was renting 2 HD/DVR boxes, and one HD box

For my internet, I was using AT&T, 8 mbps $47

Today, the deal I got from AT&T U-Verse was...

U300 package, includes pretty much every channel with Showtime and Starz. (they also threw in HBO and Cinemax).

They are giving me 1x HD/DVR box, which can record 4 shows at once, plus you can watch any DVRed show in any room, plus two regular boxes...all FO FREE!

Internet upgraded to 12 mbps...

House phone 250 minutes.

$250 visa gift card

No fees, installation charges, etc...nothing!

At the end of the day, this deal (above) they gave me was $137 TOTAL!!!!

So in conclusion, I was paying $187 with Direct TV/AT&T.

Now, I am saving $50 a month, plus I am getting more channels, a home phone line, and $250 Visa gift card!!! ....and its not costing me a dime out of pocket!

Anyone have U-Verse? Is it the bomb.com or what?

$147 sounds like the promo rate we got. Then it goes back up to about $190 if you want to keep the premium channels.

As far as performance, our Internet has never dropped, and the box has only frozen up on us a couple of times and the reboots are faster than anything we had with TWC.

No matter where you go, you're going to pay an arm and a leg, so you might as well go for uninterrupted service. Uverse is good that way.

I am not a big premium channel guy, in fact the only reason we have HBO or Sho is because we enjoy the shows that come on Sunday nights (dexter, broadway empire, weeds, etc...)

I am thinking about getting the service called Vudu....anyone use that? The way Vudu has been explained is that if we like a show that comes on Sho like Dexter, we can stream it for 0.99 per show. So any show you like will cost you b/w $4-5 a month depending on frequency.

It's going to sky rocket when their promos disappear. In the new place we got Direct TV and TWC Internet. I used to have Uverse... It's great if you drink chapagne out of lobster discarded tails

Really? They said my bill will only go up like $30. I dont need 12mbps, so I could downgrade that, and as I said before, I dont care too much about the premiums.

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
