Ah, Rabies, you demonstrate succinctly that you know as much about what's going on as young Mr. Hancock. :)
Ah, but I never claimed to know anything... although 90% of the time I make uneducated guesses, I'm proven right within months ;)

Your link went to the second page of a discussion about the ESPN footage of the NPPL last season. Thats what i was talking about when i said surely everyone knew about it.

Were you talking about an NXL/ESPN deal? If so why not link to the page where that was kind of mentioned?

I blame my ignorance on the quality of reporting we get in the paintball media. :p

1--true, that was hardly news unless you're not on the NPPL mailing list and even then you'd probably have to be living in a cave in Borneo and willfully trying to avoid the information.
2--yes, and well, that's precisely what Duff did. And I even directed your (and others) attention to the informant, one CD, alias Chrome Dome, alias you oughta know who. ;) In post 29 on that link page is the first place the beans were spilled (to P8ntballers economy users.:p )
3--Well said, Mr. Hancock. :D

And let's not forget what's going down with the NXL as they have their deal coming up also with ESPN (confusingly so).
They HAVE to learn from their mistakes if they are to achieve any success in getting Paintball on TV and so maybe the success of this show could ironically provide the benchmark the NXL guys will try to overhaul.
Ahhh, there it is. I shall read more carefully next time.

Oh, and a linking like this would probably help the slow-off-the-mark like me. :eek:

Important News

Hmmm...you mean that I wasted my time reading 8 pages???
They announced the ESPN2 air times (general dates) back at the NPPL captain's meeting in December, and then put it on their website (at first a link to the ESPN website) once the actual dates were confirmed...you didn't need to be on the mailing list, Chuck and Camille were heavily promoting it.

I thought this was going to be about the WG...oops! I didn't say that... :(

Now, if only I can get a VLocity in smoke shell...for real...

Ray :)

Go back and read some of those 8 pages more closely... this is not about the NPPL/ESPN deal, it's about NXL.
===

Fine: A non-issue to me until it really happens...if it does, I'll be happy for my friends and old teammates that play NXL...until then, I'm not holding my breath...apparently Bob Long doesn't want to hold his breath either.

Sorry if I sound negative...I would be really happy if the deal solidifies and it happens, even if I sound like "wow-sey, wow-sey, wooo", Schleprock.
