THEY SAY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG

Everyone here at The Finerside would like to take a little time today to remember a true sports icon. Of course I am talking about channelsurfing.net. When it came to illegal sport streams, channel surfing was king. Pro sports, check. College sports, check. Pay per views, check. Essentially almost any sporting event going on that day could expect to be seen in all of its glory in this one, ideal location.My favorite being live feeds of The National Curling Association. Load channel surfing now, (click HERE to see the bad news for yourself) and you are greeted with a rather harsh message from our friends at Homeland Security. In their writing they speak of wrong doing and punishment. For what? Those behind channel surfing brought nothing but joy and laughter. Not everyone has Direct TV, extra money for RedZone, or wants to shell out $100 for Wrestlemania. No matter, because channel surfing used to have our backs. Now it's gone. There's hurt in my heart, and Homeland Security put it there. So here's a toast to the fine people at channel surfing wherever they are, (I'd guess on the run or in jail) and all of the enjoyment they have brought over the years. I spent countless hours watching otherwise unattainable sports from the comfort of my own home, or yelling at my computer to buffer faster so I don't miss anything, and I owe it all to their continued acts of bravery. Homeland Security has there fun ogling hot chicks in those new airport scanners, so why'd they have to take ours away? There's a Blackpool v. Leeds Utd. Premiere League game in 20 minutes and I can't watch -- Thanks a lot.

  1. Couldn't have said it better myself Jon. It's a truly sad time in our streaming lives. I feel your pain.
