marble21 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I would hope this is mortifying for Barca fans...Another reason I hate Barca....and players from Milan, Chelsea and Bayern don't dive/feign injury?Unfortunately diving is common place in the game now and not limited to any teams/nations. To single out a single team/player is wrong, especially when a team you show support to has been equally as bad already this season.

Still MIGHTY Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 According to ESPN's Ian Darke on Twitter, NBC is getting the Premier League broadcasting rights. Three-year deal starting next season reportedly worth $83M per season (compared to FOX/ESPN's $23M). I looked around and found reports from about an hour ago saying that the EPL had informed FOX it was not accepting its bid for the EPL rights either.There's the NBC Sports Network's next big get.FOX still has the Champions League and Europa League rights as well as the men's/women's World Cups after 2014, but looks like after all the effort ESPN has put in, the worldwide leader is going to be left in the cold when it comes to International Football. Or does ESPN still have the Euro Championship rights?And how big of a blow is this for the FOX Soccer network? They show live/replayed games/analysis for the EPL ad nauseum. What are they going to fill time with?http://aol.sportingnews.com/soccer/story/2012-10-26/nbc-the-frontrunner-to-land-english-premier-league-games | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 OK, who saw NBC coming out of nowhere to land the EPL rights for this part of the world? I know I didn't and I bet a lot of you guys didn't either.I, for one, see it as a good move because NBC and NBCSN has done a decent job with the MLS package they have right now. I think it's a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSox44 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 This is going to be great for the EPL. How many people know where to find their Fox Soccer Channel? I'm pretty sure NBCSN comes standard with most cable packages.Without the Premier League, though, I feel like ESPN will focus on Spanish, Italian and/or French football, just to stay in the international football pool.And is Fox really changing their sport-specific channels into just generic "premium package" sports channels? Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSox44 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I don't even know if I get beIN Sport. I've never heard of it before.FALSE EDIT: It's owned by Al Jazeera, which means I don't get it. Time Warner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 You probably will in due time. It's pretty new, so it's not on many providers yet.Plus, support your local soccer pub/bar and head down there to watch the big matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSox44 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Yeah. I just emailed Time Warner customer service about it.You can understand my skepticism though. I mean, we didn't NFL Network until a few weeks ago.Anyway, that Torres red card today was bull . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrdevil Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Official.. NBC takes over Premier League rights next year. 18-20 matches on NBC proper. Bulk of matches on NBCSN, other NBC channels may carry games as well. Said every game will be available live on tv or online in some form (likely the Live Extra App and NBCsports.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Fantastic. They say they're airing six matches per weekend and'll use a second network.Hell, you can do it most weeks without a second network. If they'd air one at 7:45, 10:00, and 12:30 in addition to two Sunday matches and the Monday one. Should be interesting what they do, but it ensures United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, City, and Spurs are on virtually every week. Maybe it'll mean for more Villa matches on... well, that is, if they stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Sounds like there will actually be less games on every week, then, since FSC showed many games on tape delay.
