To be fair, looking at the seats, it seems like Devils fans act as though the Devils don't exist up until around Memorial Day each year.

You're probably just jealous beacuse you're a fan of one of the 29 Trapping Teams.  ;-)

What Chris said.  Within the last month, the Cleveland Gladiators announced they are returning to Arena League play in 2010.

Long live the 50-yard indoor war.

Yes, this will affect my area seeing Cleveland Cavaliers games on Fox Sports Ohio. May an agreement be reached soon.

Hallelujah, praise God, Amen!
Now, let's work on getting The XFL back.

From cleveland.com...

We watch the Cavs on Fox Sports Ohio. If Fox and Time Warner don't reach an agreement, are we blocked from seeing LeBron and Shaq?

They're safe, too, said Bill Jasso, vice president of communications for Time Warner Cable's Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania division: "Fox Sports Ohio is not in play because that's a separate contract."

A cooling off period of one month in this appears to be on the horizon:

I'm not sure I approve.  Every day the season is delayed is another day where Philadelphia has a championship football team.

I'm wondering how much of a hit in the ratings the affected FOX and MyNetworkTV O&Os (KTTV/KCOP in LA, and WNYW/WWOR in New York, IIRC) will take if they are pulled from Time Warner cable.

Maybe a slight hit for the Fox stations.

No change at MyNetwork.  Nobody watches them with cable.
