There was some glorious time in there that I remember the Outdoor Life Network having hockey games, evolving into Versus, then NBCSN, then getting put down. That was a heck of a run too. My earliest memories of Pens games was KBL.

Yeah ESPN+ is great if they figure out the blackout games. I have it included with my Verizon plan.

Agreed. I don't want something bundled. I want to hand the Penguins or someone a pile of money and I want every game on all my devices.

I spent probably $150-200 getting firesticks and the VPN (VPN app wouldn't work on Roku or Android TV) and I would have rather gave that money to the Pens or their broadcast partner. Cut out the middleman.

I'm not saying it needs to leave cable. It can stay there. Give me an option for $100 to give AT&T Sportsnet all that money for just Pens broadcasts without cable. Surely there is some reasonable amount that would equate to the cut they would get of my cable bill that would make sense. At this point locking people into cable isn't a winning business strategy and offering alternative ways to take my money make more sense. They are just losing out on revenue streams and we aren't going back to the way cable worked in the 90s.

Hockey is crazy now, I have YouTube TV so I can get the TNT/ABC games, but don't have NHL Network games or AT&T games. So with YTTV and my VPN I can now watch all but the NHL Network games due to blackouts. I've spent money on the VPN and firesticks on all the TVs to enable this workaround and I'd rather just give the money to someone and just be able to watch the games.

It is so anti-consumer and they don't seem to care. Until it impacts them financially that will be what we have to deal with. Bring back KBL and I will give them $100 a season for every game.

I would agree there are plenty of celebrities preaching about things like climate change that are massive hypocrites and emit more CO2 in a week than I do in my life. However I think you have a weird view of who these scientists are. They aren't billionaires, they're everyday people for the most part and are concerned when their expertise shows worrying predictions of the future.

Creating peer reviewed papers that warm of climate change and its impacts isn't fear mongering, it is their job. What the media and people do with it is fear mongering but science isnt. I think you vastly overestimate the influence scientists have on things like public policy. Lobbyists for companies have orders of magnitude more influence on policy across every industry than the people doing research.

Are you aware of the massive subsidies we have been giving fossil fuels for decades? That is precisely the policy change that is needed.

The point of that comic went straight over your head. By your logic we should go back to the days of horribly polluted air and waters in Pittsburgh because why should we have to change for future generations. Very selfish and your comments just reinforce it. Apparently you won't feel a need to change until every scientist in the world rides a bike and eats vegetables so the bar is so high for you there's no point in arguing.

Can we please get some option that doesn't require my use of a VPN to watch the games without a cable subscription. I just want to hand some group money just for the Pens games. Not a bunch of other crap or Pirates games, just Pens games. Right now my ESPN+ subscription and a VPN is the only way to watch games only broadcast on AT&T Sportsnet.

Sounds kind of selfish.

Screw the future generations because you have some arbitrary criteria to leave a better world for a future generations.

I'm worried how bad the bugs will be this summer if it has been this warm in winter. I found ticks on my dog the other day and that isn't usual for February.
