NBA League Pass Broadband Pass League NBA

See how I did the title like that? All-encompassing, in that it includes every combination (or at least two combinations) of the words "NBA League Pass Broadband"? It's so anyone Googling these words to try and figure out whether this service is right for them will hopefully at least have a chance to read this post before they proceed into an agreement with the National Basketball League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. See and there I just put in the title of that (classic?) movie to garner even more attention via Google. My motives are selfless. I just want everyone to know that they may want to consider NBA League Pass Broadband if they:

a) have lots of disposable income;
b) don't have anything to do with that disposable income;
c) love watching some basketball games. Not all of the games, nor the games played by local teams, but just some games by some teams you may or may not care about or even know anything about. Is "about" a preposition? I feel like it might be. If so, I apologize for ending that sentence with it, under.

So dig this. Before you sign up for NBA League Pass Broadband NBA League Pass Broadband NBA League Pass Broadband NBA League Pass Broadband NBA League Pass Broadband, read the fine print. For this reason I am not bitter. I locked myself into something I can't get out of (the NBA doesn't offer refunds if you choose to cancel your subscription), but I didn't read all the terms nearly well enough. If I had, I wouldn't have signed up. I just wanted to watch some basketball, okay?! I was spending the weekend at my mother-in-law's house, and I was at home with the sleeping babies while my wife and mother-in-law were shopping. OF COURSE I was going to rush through the terms and fine print!! I needed something to do! And apparently reading the terms and fine print didn't qualify as something to do... So yeah, my bad. But come on NBA. This kind of thing makes it look like you are just in it for the money. Are you listening, organization? Okay, good. Just know that I'm put off a bit. And just try to be more careful from now on.

Learn from my story, internet.

Also, when you're watching a movie, it's often easy to tell which parts weren't scripted. Especially when the actors aren't very good. Case-in-point: Venantino Venantini when he is disguised as a monk in "Final Justice". Don't worry about it.

Editorial note:

In the time since I posted this weblog entry, I have somehow secured a full refund from the National Basketball Association. So there's that glimmer of hope. Not sure how that happened, but it's apparent that someone up there is looking out for me. This seasonally-offered Pomegranate 7-UP's for you, David Stern.
