Thursday's Venting Begins Now

Okay, it's that time of the day when you can vent about players who aren't performing or about your fantasy teams or about me as the manager of the NFBC or George Bush or anything else you need to get off your chest. I'll start the proceedings with a positive post.

I have ordered the NFL Ticket every year since the NFL introduced it and I highly doubt I'll ever stop getting it. Even though I go to Lambeau Field about six times a year, I still want access to ALL of the NFL games the 11 other times I'm at home. So you can count me in for life on that package.

But I will admit that this is the first year that I have ordered the MLB Extra Innings package on DirecTV and I'm even more pleased with that. Nothing better than flipping through a dozen games at night, 5-6 nights a week. Better yet, MLB Extra Innings cost me $139 for 26 weeks of baseball games, while the NFL Ticket is like $179 for 17 weeks. What a deal.

Okay, that's my daily take. Anyone else have a baseball thought?
