Over WWE, wow interesting

do we know the #'s on the fox deal.

Thought it was 90 mill.....

I thought that was the Fox deal when I read this at first, that was Spike though.

Mike_Fagan_13 Hill: I wish the number was $90M. We never discuss what we pay. #UFConFox

I like to play golf once in awhile but no way can I sit and watch it on TV.

It's great for a hung over Saturday morning. Also, I never really appreciated the sight of golf on TV until I got a big HD flat screen, it is so sharp, brings out the best in my tv!

I much prefer watching golf to watching baseball if it isn't the Reds. How someone can sit down and watch a baseball game if their team isn't playing (non-playoffs) is beyond me. And I'll take tennis over both by a wide margin

The only way I can sit and watch a baseball game is if I'm at the stadium.
