Before anyone comes after me for that, at least I am not one defending UFC and its sadistic viewership as "mere sport"--even before the WH fiasco. Yes. I mean that. I see the aftermath of such promoted violence and the impact among (mostly) young men.

12. I've got 2 ROKUs. If they don't start deleting things I'm OK with staying with them.

When I have to replace them, I'll probably change to an AppleTV box.
