You're' quite welcome, kind sir. I must admit though, I think you're fibbing about not knowing about the amount of Mexicans.....I think Sioux City is greater than 15% Hispanic

There will be. Those one who sucks the peniss insist on commercial breaks during the 20 minute Q1 session and 15 minute Q2 session for F1.

They love doing the side by side thing where they keep the live event going but the audio is commercials.

Yup, the ads on the side are no big deal. The "jersey sponsorships" take some getting used to but its pretty great to just sit and watch the sport with absolutely no breaks for two 45 min halves. Think about that.

There won't be. This isn't NBC's first broadcast. They are already doing MLS games.

There are not commercials in the middle of soccer games.

I'm glad someone decided to step up and replace Fox Soccer on this. If only they could get CL and La Liga...

Fox Sports used to hold the rights...NBC bought them up. ESPN has bought up national team rights.

ESPN and NBC share MLS rights.

It's a great change from Fox Soccer. I have comcast and for whatever reason they never carried Fox Soccer in HD in the Chicago area. Now I will have access to HD soccer and free online streaming, so that's a great change.

Fox Soccer is shit. They are probably going to go away. Now I just wish I could get a few Bundesliga games on a channel that isn't on some insane niche package. Haha.

I believe so. Not sure which rights they have anymore...maybe Serie A maybe La Liga.

I know they show CONCACAF Champions League games.

Yea, something like that. I read about a transformation that was expected but don't remember the details.
