This week might spell the end of Setanta Sports. The one channel I wish was on Time Warner may not be seen anywhere else soon. And, of course, EPL rights, World Cup rights, etc. could be changed again.

Funny thing about sports rights payments. Those sports don't take too kindly to that money not being deposited into their accounts. Looks like the Scots haven't received their final payment this year. The FA and EPL are due money soon and the new bidding for the TV deals only went down a few months ago, with North American rights still to be determined.

Keep your eye on ESPN. They may come through to pick up the pieces at fire sale rates.

Sign of the times. It's the Learjet repo man.

Get thee to Japan. It's a two-day sale on PiL blazers.

What the two journalists convicted in North Korea will face in prison. Some of these methods are used at Gitmo, but remember, we can't call it torture.

Exercise Yard

It appears more baseball players are heading to the DL with social anxiety disorder. Is it being overdiagnosed.

Maybe that is wrong with Fausto, Andy Marte, Josh Barfield, Jeremy Sowers, the Indians entire bullpen, etc. Naw more like lack of talent and lack of managerial leadership.
