Ahh geez, oxen in hoop skirts with parasols. People selling $5 sunglasses and cell phone cases clogging up the goddamn sidewalks. The unemployed clogging the sidewalks asking for money ...sigh, I'll never get to work now.

The link is about the concert that was reviewed by Jack and Str8 about a month back. It was going to happen in Calverton, LI (east end) this weekend, but a bunch of NIMBYs and environmentalists got their way, so now about half of the acts, including Beastie Boys and Radiohead, have agreed to play Giants Stadium this weekend instead. Tix should be available, b/c the Field Day tix were automatically refunded.

You are absolutely right. War and sports are totally analagous. Hell, why have spoiler space at all? If Slave isn't interested in it, why should anyone else care if there beloved entertainment is ruined? I am going to immediately post who got voted off on Survivor or AI or who lost the Amazing Race bc I know the West Coasters and Tivo people wont mind since Slave doesnt watch the shows. You are lucky that hockey isn't shown in the middle of the afternoon.

But I will never ever give away the end of a Charlize Theron film. that would be wrong.

Not according to Janeane Garofalo. She was on some talk show and promised that if we won , "I will go to the White House on my knees on cut glass and say, 'hey, you were right, I shouldn’t have doubted you.'".

Apparently George W. is still waiting. For what that is worth. It would be a cool reality tv event though.

What are you, a fucking moron? If they have to show how up to the second they are with sports results, all they have to do is write, Serena results in their little box. Most people dont care about the French anyway, so why is this breaking news worthy of the box? ANd it aint on the VCR, its on ESPN or ESPN 2 which means that I am probably not the only one who was planning on watching it, preferably unspoiled.

Oh, you mean the evening REBROADCAST of their LIVE morning coverage?

But you have a point - I'm now going to write a letter to all the NY media begging them not to report any future Yankees and Rangers scores during or following the games - since both YES and MSG rebroadcast each day's game at Midnight and some poor soul may be watching this later broadcast and want to be surprised by the ending.

Get a friggin' grip.

Yes, we did. Two days ago. After Paigow complained about Less posting the Open results and Less complained about TdF spoilers last year: http://www.lawtalkers.com/forums/sho...2593#post12593

I don't follow tennis and I usually listen to the TdF live, so I don't care. But just like not posting AI results until after the Pacific telecast, it's out of respect for others in the community.

You can still talk about it, just put some space in.

Tix are $80 a pop. Show starts at Noon. Radiohead closes at 10pm. Rain is probable.

Aside from the fact it's in Jersey, why would you not go? The line-up sounds great.

As I said, I promise I will keep the parasol to off-peak hours.

While we're at it, can we ban small children from trains and sidewalks during rush hour? Keep the weaving wandering monster on a short leash or in your arms and off the ground when I'm trying to get to a meeting, dammit!:brick:

Once that shit gets broadcast on the left coast - as far as I'm concerned, it's fair game.

As for hockey - I beg you - please put a scrolling scoreboard across the bottom. It would save me the hassle of channel surfing all the time.

Dude, are you getting too lazy to log out your chris sock and relogin your political sock? So sad to see a master end up this way.

Yes, not2Sharp=- that is what "rebroadcast" means. a word I used.

I dont know about you, but I actually did not have the morning off to head to the local pub and watch the match. Maybe now that you are not a slave anymore you do, but i am still one.

So you contend that nobody is watching the ESPN rebroadcast unspoiled? Or was hoping to anyway? That is a little naive. Consider this. Tennis gets very little television coverage compared to your sports, and there are only eight major weeks of it a year, sprinkled throughout the year. So it is two weeks here, two weeks there. thats it. So when you love tennis, and dont get the Tennis channel (bc comcast blows), these fortnights are precious entertainment to the fans.

And if tennis was such a hugely popular spectator sport, I think more than thirty percent of households with cable would have access to the Tennis Channel. and the masters series would get more network coverage as would other semi big events, but tennis isnt that popular. The demand to watch apparently isnt there, otherwise more events would be broadcast. And since it isnt that popular, then why fucking spoil it on Yahoo? I avoided ESPN and NYT where I would logically expect to see the results, but Yahoo has no good reason for putting an unambiguous header there (NYT bc NYC is the home of a Grand Slam and probably ha a higher proportion of tennis fans). I am sure there are fewer people who went to Yahoo looking for the restuls than there are people who planned to watch the match REbroadcast on ESPN UNspolied tonight.

So stick to booze, porn stars and hockey. Its what you know.
