  Heroes Season 2 Premiere 

  Heroes brought their A-game last night. Oh mama, great episode. I’m looking forward to Hiro’s storyline in the upcoming season.

    I hear you on that one.

    I totally had the Kensai guy pegged as being one of Hiro’s long ago uncle or something….guess I was wrong about that.

    Peter Patrelli in a crate? WTF?!?!

    ps. Why can I only post once every 15 seconds??? And that’s “space cowboy” thank you very much.

  Setanta on Bell ExpressVu Canada round 4 [Updated] 

  From the BigSoccer forums:

  Certain Shaw Customers in a panic: If this helps -

  At 11:35 this morning, I called Bell ExpressVu. Customer service representative knew nothing about Setanta. I persisted, and after 12 minutes he came back and said that his Supervisors had indicated that there was no final deal with Setanta and that “down the road” we may have information. I told the Rep. that the Channel was supposed to be up and running today by 10:00 am and that it would be on Channel 420.

  I was told that my facts were wrong, and that he was in possession of the latest information.

  24 minutes later, Bell ExpressVu activated channel 420 with a notation that the channel will go “live” on August 11.

  The moral to this story. The customer reps know nothing. They’re ill-advised. Give it time. If the news came out only today, it’ll take a day to have it filtered down. Hang tough. It’s happening.

  Update: the channel is live:

  Setanta on Bell ExpressVu Canada round 3 

  I call Bell yesterday regarding Setanta. Apparently, they’re still negotiating the deal. I’m not optimistic that it will be available for this weekend. The August 2nd Remote Control is more optimistic than I am.

  We’re missing a few good matchups:
  - Sunderland at Tottenham
  - ManU at Reading on Sunday
  - Chelsea at Birmingham on Sunday

  The Score lucked out and got West Ham at ManCity – which will be a boring game.

  Setanta on Bell ExpressVu Canada round 2 

  The Star printed an article about Setanta getting the rights to pretty much every EPL game this year.

  So it looks like if you want to watch the EPL you need Setanta. Apparently, it’s $15 a month.

  Setanta coming to Canada via Bell ExpressVU 

  I emailed Setanta regarding availability in Canada and they have an announcement mid-August. Odd that’s about the time the English Premier League is set to start.

  Hot! Now I can drop Fox Sports World.

  Survivor: The end 

  Boo was the best, Yau was great, Cassandra did nothing and Lisi is insane.

  TorontoFC vs. New England Revolution. 

  I’d like to see TorontoFC play a 4-4-2 instead of a 3-5-2. We seem to be getting pulled apart as our wide midfielders aren’t getting back far enough to help out.
  I’d prefer to see another dedicated defender.

  Greg Sutton, again, played superbly.

  Additionally, someone fire the TV announcers for the New England Revolution. No cares about your daughters learning to play soccer. No one. Shut the hell up. And shouldn’t you be impartial? Instead of rooting for the Revolution? Jackasses.

  I sent this to feedback@mlsnet.com:

  I was disappointed that the TV commentators for the TorontoFC at New England Revolution were clearly biased towards the Revolution.

  I would expect that impartiality would be a requirement for announcers.

  Thanks,
  Tyler

    Announcers are like politicians. They can pretty much say what they like. I mean, like, how boring would it be if they just stuck to monotones and stats the whole game, eh? It is the d*** referees that need to be impartial!! :-)

  • Tyler Weir 2:45 pm on April 23, 2007 Permalink

    Jim, I’m with you on the refs, but I still think the announcers should be less of the homers they are.

  Did anyone see the trainwreck “The Winner” last night? 

  Oh my crap, it was so much worse than I thought it could be. I don’t see a rosy future for this one.

  You’re losing me Lost. 

  Lost, you were on thin ice at the start of season 3… now Bai Ling shows up.

  Oy, I wanted to toss a shoe at the TV.

  You’re close to being cut Lost.

    I am also getting frustrated with some of the latest developments. Carl (or Karl) the exiled “Other” who has been tortured, and treated like a lab rat, seemed to me to be the answer to a bunch of nagging questions. Where did the Others come from? What are they doing here? Why did they kidnap Sawyer and Kate, just to put them in cages and have them haul rocks around? How much contact do they have with the outside world? ETC.ETC.ETC.

    However, Sawyer tells him to take off before grilling him for answers – that doesn’t make any sense to me. As if Sawyer isn’t a bit baffled by the Others and curious to get some answers…

    However, I am far more loyal a fan than you, and I’ll stick it out till the bitter end in hopes of it regaining it’s previous wonderfulnessity! And when it does, you’ll be all confused because you missed episodes and I’ll just laugh and laugh.

  • Tyler Weir 3:45 pm on February 22, 2007 Permalink

    You are more loyal, but we only have one TV, so I guess I’m watching more Lost. :)

  Greed wins yet again. 

  It happened again. A woman went buck-ass insane on Deal or No Deal and walked away with $500. Could have had $84,000, but no, you had to suck instead.

  Burn!
