10 years ago I never would have guessed ...

Missed a bunch of matches in the Australian Open that weren't shown on the ESPNs. Will miss stuff like Indian Wells (assuming it actually gets played this year), etc. A couple years ago I was on board the Andreescu train heading into the U.S. Open and was looking ahead to big things for Kenin because I'd seen them in events like the Rogers Cup and Cincinnati.

So, yeah, I miss the Tennis Channel.

 

I would love to drop to a less-expensive DirecTV package. But there's no package below mine that includes Tennis Channel. Sigh.

 

... Guy Fieri would make $80 million.

MotorTrend is fine as a channel. Doesn't begin to measure up to Car and Driver as a magazine.

 

Boom would be banned.

 

Never has. I used to read Car and Driver religiously, loved it. Lots of good shows on the MT channel though.

 

Marvel movies would be this good.
Millions of people would have seen my daughter’s room.
Virtual everything.
FaceTime
Half the Yankees would be hitting under .200 and they would be good.
This many points in NBA games.
Brady would still the playing and an NFL champion.
Trump? Really?
You could gamble on sports so easily.
CDs and DVDs are worthless.

 

Agreed. I subscribe to C&D, but not MT.

 

It's funny what sticks with you over time. My favorite C&D quote is from P.J. O'Roarke and goes back to 1979. He drove a Ferrari 308 with the top down from Atlanta to Tuscaloosa for the Georgia - Alabama game one fine Saturday morning. Girls were flirting out the window, beer was drunk. It was a gorgeous day, he had a fine time, and as he put it "The only way I could have had any more fun is if I had a sackful of Iranian radicals to drag behind the car."

 

That I spend way, WAY more time watching things on YouTube than any other outlet.

 

That I’d still be posting here.

 

My father-in-law subscribes to Motor Trend, so I usually read them when he’s done. Since the recent launch of the new Top Gear show (which is fun, btw) the magazine really seems to be leaning into its TV presence, to the detriment of the publication.
