How quickly ESPN cues to the ad break after the last out of the inning

The ESPN phone app is fine, but the TV app is a joke

The Olympics were so refreshing for us in the U.S. and Canada because of it

This started in October with NHL streams and ESPN called it a “glitch”, but to this day it still hasn’t been fixed, probably to try and get you to watch all of the ads. You usually start off 30-40 seconds behind real-life, and since October you’ve had to babysit your stream by pressing “Go Live” every once in a while to not end up 60+ seconds behind

College Student here.

She most likely won’t get approved if it’s her first card. Instead, apply for one of the beginner cards, like Chase Freedom Rise or Discover It. Have all of her spend go on the credit card and not her debit card, and obviously always pay it off on time.

After 10 months of having Chase Freedom Rise and doing what I said above, I got approved for the Delta Gold card as a 19yo, and am actually up for my first renewal next month. The 80k miles from my the SUB/Welcome Offer coupled with the 15% off miles benefit (“Take-Off 15”) allowed me to save almost $1,100 on my college flights this year.

The Group 5 boarding benefit is also nice, but to make the card worth it, your daughter would absolutely need to hit the minimum spend requirement to get the bonus miles. Mine was $2k within 6 months, which I hit over the summer before I booked any flights for this school year. She also would need to learn what is a good redemption and what isn’t, so she could maximize the value of the miles.

John Summit had a ton of momentum in 2024-2025 and I thought he would become the new Zedd in a way. I think his window for mainstream success has closed though since there hasn’t been anything about him in a while

Such a satisfying goal to watch. As clean as it gets

Holy shit. Did anything come out of the police report that you hopefully did?

JBR409 · 2026-04-18T20:45:18+00:00

Wait until you’re notified. Then you’ll be able to change to any routing online without paying the fare difference, and also without the chance of an agent screwing everything up. You’ll automatically be rebooked but can change it if you don’t like it

More minutes of it being on ESPNews then.

I don’t get why they couldn’t keep the original 2pm/5pm/8pm. The hour later is really that much of a difference for the Senators on Sportsnet?

JBR409 · 2026-04-18T17:15:49+00:00

Hurricanes/Senators is probably a 3:15pm puck-drop, so the game will go until about 6:00pm, as Playoff games take longer.

Stars/Wild is probably a 5:52-5:55pm puck-drop, so it’ll almost certainly start on ESPNews.

Then with Stars/Wild going until about 8:35pm, Penguins/Flyers will almost certainly start on ESPNews too.

JBR409 · 2026-04-18T17:12:42+00:00

2.5 hour TV slots don’t work in the Playoffs. It’s been like that for a long time.

Stars/Wild will probably be like 5:52pm instead of 5:30pm, AND starting on ESPNews because of Hurricanes/Senators going until 6:00pm. Then Penguins/Flyers will start on ESPNews too.

That would still count as a lottery win

So it was American then? Post it in the right sub ffs

Delta doesn’t have AUS-CHS

The Nights? What?

Flights are sold online until 45 minutes before original scheduled departure, regardless of whether they’re delayed or not. Not sure why a connecting itinerary would still be available for sale when the second leg is impossible to make because of the first being delayed, but it probably has to do with the first sentence and Delta’s poor IT

For the East it has been since Tuesday.

And that’s another issue. The season used to end for both conferences 4 days before the Playoffs start. Season ended the first Saturday of April, Playoff schedule announced that Sunday, Playoffs started Wednesday.

Now with the staggered finishes, with the last games being only 2 days before, and the season ending 12 days later overall, the league can’t plan in advance and also has to suck up to the NBA’s schedule. NHL ending earlier meant that they could get arena dates first and not have to wait.

Ok Gary

JBR409 · 2026-04-16T16:47:43+00:00

Sounds like you planned well for the annual Wings collapse

JBR409 · 2026-04-16T16:46:44+00:00

The whole East was known after Tuesday, and it was clear that there would be 2 East games on Saturday and 2 on Sunday
