Oh yeah, I forgot, all those channels are extra.  Well, I'm on Shaw and all
are extra except TSN and CBC, of course.

TheScore used to be called Headline Sports and before they went live action,
they were only allowed to show screens of Sports scores and news... then
they moved to 24/7 highlights of the day's sports, then they finally made
the switch to a full scale sports network... and *then* they signed a deal
with the WWF and XFL... so now they do sports and ... "Wrestling."

I bought extended cable *just* for the hockey.  Hell, 30+ Flames games, 20+
Oilers games and a guaranteed extra game per week of the league's top teams
on SportsNet alone.  Hockey, Heaven.
