I renewed my contract with my current tv provider and as a bonus they gave me 6 extra sport channels (and a movie channel) for free, that means free Italian, Spanish, German and English football, watched part of the Chelski vs Man U game yesterday.

A whole 2 games?

I hope you're talking CL Final and FA Cup Final, or something. :D



Meanwhile... man, I need to get off my butt and sign up for the fantasy.

Setanta is pretty much done with, I think they ran out of money, ESPN has bought the chunk and will do most of the games this season including CL. And Fox Sports has a bunch of games as well, as before.

It appears they have purchased the rights to 2 games/week but I think it may only be for the tv broadcast in the UK. It shows them as a provider on the epl site for the UK (here: http://www.premierleague.com/page/UK...,12306,00.html ), but they are not listed as providers in the US, Setanta still is (here: http://www.premierleague.com/page/In...384625,00.html ). I also double checked on ESPN's website under their tv listings and I couldn't find any evidence of any games being shown, at least for this week. So who knows what kind of coverage we will get here in the States? :confused:

I'm good for whatever too. Anyone else having a hard time finalizing the roster so far? It seems like ESPN raised their prices a bit on most players, especially any starters for 'pool, ManU, and Chelsea. Only 1 day and a half left and I'll pry still change my lineup 3 more times.

It is finally here. I can't wait. I won't be playing the fantasy league this year. I will be deployed during the season. Good luck to everyone playing. Don't let J win again.

I will do that. Thank you. I have a few months before I go. I like the way they notify now, but it just adds to the stress. The waiting is what is driving me crazy.

I've discovered that ESPN (here in the good ol' US of A) is very likely not showing any premier league matches in the USA this season.... those lying bastages, just trying to get my hopes up for some HD football... :(
