Most interesting offer comes from Sidd Finch at Hot Foot, a Mets blog:
I will personally send Mr. Bowman a case of Mickey's Malt Liquor if he scuttles this deal. Hey, what can I tell you---I enjoy the Mickeys.
Mr. Bowman is Bob Bowman, the executive in charge of Extra Innings. Sidd wants to start a letter writing campaign.
Baseballgirl at Athletics Nation has excerpts from a Jayson Stark column about the potential deal and the difference between the NFL Ticket and Extra Innings.
Hit the blogger search at the top to find more thoughts in the blogosphere.If you're an NFL fan, you almost never feel as if you're missing a big game. Your hometown team is on "free" TV every week. There are two other Sunday afternoon games on "free" TV most weeks. And then there are the Sunday night and Monday night games.
The way the NFL juggles its TV schedules, what percentage of "big" games are available to the entire hemisphere -- 75 percent? Eighty percent? Whatever it is, the Sunday Ticket package is great if you're a degenerate fan, gambler or fantasy addict. But it's only the you-really-shouldn't-eat-this dessert you order after a gourmet dinner.
Baseball, on the other hand, is a whole different beast. Yeah, there is still an ESPN Sunday night game. Yeah, there is still a Fox Saturday afternoon game. But remember, the rest of ESPN's package has been reduced this year to just a single game on Monday and Wednesday nights.
