EITHER/OR #3 

Okay, since I don't know what to post and I'm kind of burnt out by that ten-page deal that I pulled out today, here's an edition of Either/Or...

Which was worse?

The "innovative" glowing puck from Fox's NHL coverage
or...
The Baseball Network, which gave us 8pm starts for Mariner home games.

Yes, they're both crap, I know. I'm not sure which one I hated more.

[Edit Mon ~10a -- I fetched some links for y'all. Some good did come out of the glowing puck thing. Read...
    It looks like Stan [Honey, News Corporation executive Vice President of technology] had the last laugh in this one. He along with two other News Corporation executives decided to start their own venture called SporTVision. After Fox passed on Stan's idea to apply the technology behind FoxTrack to other projects, he packed up and left. Fox actually sold him the FoxTrack equipment for a 10% stake in SporTVision...The company's first product was that little yellow first down line you see every Sunday. ... SporTVision gets $20 grand a game for the line and with the equipment already paid for, Stan and the boys are laughing all the way to the bank. All thanks to the cheezy glowing puck.
Yep, the glowing puck guys are raking in on the first-down lines. Comments?]
