On the other hand, the Dodgers are on something called Spectrum SportsNet LA, which we don't get without paying extra $$. Plus Dodgers games on MLB network regional broadcasts are blacked out. I don't really care, because I don't like the Dodgers and when they are blacked out on MLB we sometimes get Giants games, which is pretty cool. But my understanding--please correct me if I'm wrong--is that a lot of folks who live in the city of Los Angeles (I live 100 miles away) can't watch the Dodgers on basic cable. Assuming anyone in LA still has basic cable.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
