Memo To New Yorkers Looking for MSG Network
You mean all I had to do was travel to Cancun?
In the midst of a lovely little jaunt to Mexico. Weather is great, beach is lovely, life is good. Even played an ill-fated round of golf yesterday, which I managed to enjoy even as I lost, AHEM, seven golf balls. (In my defense, the course boasted a lot of water hazards. Also, I´m not very good at golf.)
Anyhoo, I was at a cocktail party last night at one of the hotels here in Cancun. Lovely party -- everyone had a blast. As the party was winding down, the hotel staff arrived to clean up a bit and return the room to ready-for-public-consumption status. Turns out the room hosting the cocktail party doubled as a sports bar (I guess the pool tables should have tipped me off? I dunno.). So this one dude is walking around the room turning on a bunch of TVs and tuning them to what looked like a basketball game. Cool enough, I thought. Who´s playing? Hey! Look at that -- it´s the Knicks playing at the Nets. Not exactly a scintillating NBA fixture, but hey, it was a little slice of home. I wonder who´s winning?
I looked at the score and started laughing. The game was being broadcast on MSG. That is, you can´t watch MSG in Manhattan, but you can watch it in Mexico.
(This is me shaking my head in amused disdain in re: Cablevision and Time-Warner Cable.)
