[QUOTE="2X2L, post: 2065125, member: 749522"] I'm getting so sick of NIL and speculation on other threads and billion$ handed out to college athletes. Creepy. But speaking of money, why do I have to pay exorbitant fees for cable tv? Nonsequitur, I know. Sitting here in recliner watching "Death Valley Days" with the Old Ranger (Stanley Andrews). Free in the mid-50s when I was a kid. (Not true: parents had to buy a 12-inch B&W television and an antenna! And the brave tv repairman who risked electrocution replacing those tubes. A profile in courage JFK did not mention in his book). Now I pay through the nose to Xfinity to watch tv shows we saw virtually free way back when I was a kid. I just don't understand. Just so my post is relevant to this thread, I also watched "Bad Day at Black Rock" earlier. Big box office hit. Spencer Tracy, Robert Ryan, Lee Marvin, Dean Jagger ... And now Rory Calhoun in "The Texan"! [/QUOTE]
