When I re-upped last week, I said I didn't want a contract, the CSR concurred, and said he "put it in the notes" that there is no contract on my account. You cannot find anything about your "contract" online, so it seems, yes, you need to call and ask. More AT&T shenanigans.

Best they could offer was $40 off/month with nothing off ST. Has anybody tried or heard anything about the eBay route? https://www.ebay.com/itm/NFL-Sunday-Ticket-MAX-Entire-2020-Season-350-FB-Near-Instant-Delivery-Warranty/254680463628?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160811114145%26meid%3D118ccdb7ce254daaab751be524d04c97%26pid%3D100667%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D8%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D274456351710%26itm%3D254680463628%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2334524&_trksid=p2334524.c100667.m2042

Good point...I can pull up my account within seconds online but it seems to take 10 minutes for these CSRs.

Made "The Call" yesterday and had almost the same experience...offered my $40 off/month and no deals on ST. Told them I'll try again later. It was a tough half hour...how did you stay on with them for 100 minutes?!?! I would have pulled what little hair I have left out of my head. I'll try the Twitter route today. Also, why does it take them so long to bring up your account...I swear half the time I was on the call with them was waiting for ATT to bring up my account.

My feeble mind tells me that game was broadcast on the one of the 700 Sunday Ticket channels...I distinctly remember watching it here in Fairfax.

I've switched to low ABV, low carb IPAs. Don't know availability in your area, but these are my favorites: Lagunitas DayTime: https://lagunitas.com/beer/daytime Oskar Blues One-y: https://www.oskarblues.com/beer/one-y/ Dogfish Head Slightly Mighty: https://www.dogfish.com/brewery/beer/slightly-mighty Founders All Day IPA: https://foundersbrewing.com/our-beer/all-day-ipa/

Dang, I'm tempted...https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=sabrejak&_sacat=0

Mods, can this thread be pinned?

Tough one...I went with French, whose official title was a "Gentleman's Gentleman."

This came up on Spotify over the weekend and hadn't heard it in 30 years...great tune.

Rod Kush game in 1980, comeback road win vaulted the Bills to 5-0, and I can remember where I was watching this. Kush had a monster game, taking over for the injured Jeff Nixon and starring on special teams. Unfortunately, he hurt his knee late and I believe he was out the rest of the year.

Game was blacked out in WNY...had to listen on radio. The 1975 team started out 4-0 and looked like a SB contender, only to lose to a lackluster Giants team on MNF. This game led to a downward spiral with the Bills finishing a pedestrian 8-6 and out of the playoffs.

Last year I noticed the people with AT&T wireless were most likely to get free ST or significant discounts.

And are you an existing AT&T wireless customer?

Now, pay the man!

Some students actually "rent" their email credentials on eBay...don't know how reliable or legal, that is.

Ah, like the swallows returning to Capistrano, the annual August ST thread...the most wonderful time of the year. I saw the "no dish required" DTV ad on FB and and I opened and it's deceptive advertising...you could always stream if you couldn't receive a signal (as determined by your address and DTV) and that's all this is...same old, same old bait and switch from DTV. My contract is up August 20th so that's the day I make the call.

Very plausible and a responsible response to the pandemic. I think the NFL has until the end of the month to figure this thing out and if things don't get any better, I believe this type of scenario is certainly on the table.

He shoulda been a farmer...

A timeless classic and a reason I'll always be an Orioles fan.

Sorry, can't agree with either of your takes here. Two DBs you omitted, Leonard Smith and Nate Odomes, were certainly top-tier, thus labeling the Bills DBs "very weak" is a misnomer. In addition, the offensive line, anchored by Kent Hull, who should be in the HOF BTW, and included stalwarts Will Wolford, Jim Ritcher, and House Ballard, was certainly above average. The story of the four SB loses was simply, other than XXV, the opponents were a better team.

Jeff Nixon was off to a torrid start in 1980 and by week four vs. Oakland, a "Nixon for President" sign appeared at Rich. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/N/NixoJe20.htm

I miss the JOS Banks mega-sales...the buy one, get three free. Those days are gone.

Saw him at the Auditorium Theater in Rochester in August 1980.
