[Vision2020] Good sport? No!

[Larson Hicks]

I believe so, Deacon, but I also think you can download games you miss too!
It's via "Media Zone" who also provide rugby games (just about the only
place you can watch a rugby game in this dang country - ever since "The
Rugby Show" was cancelled on Fox Sports World in favor of more kick ball.
Incedentally - I've played rugby with the former host of said rugby show,
also author of "The Idiot's Guide to Rugby".  He was playing for the
Missoula All Maggots at Fool's Fest in Spokane and I traveled up with LCSC
to help out.  Great team! But I diverge....thanks for the vote - it's going
to help me convince myself to do it!
