I watched Milan San Remo on Max via Comcast. The buffering was modest until around the Cipressa climb. Then, the video began freezing up repeatedly for long periods of time. I knew from checking with the internet that my video was getting way behind the live action. At around 22 K to go, due to...

I don't know what torks me off more: the constant buffering on Max (almost unwatchable at times) or the endless commercials on Peacock. I will say, the picture quality is better on Peacock.

I remember Phil saying that. I think Bob's silence was just to let the faux pas pass. No biggie. Phil had a few missteps; Saying that the breakaway was cracking up when the camera shot went to Cav's group (with 2 DSM riders) struggling to turn over their pedals on a climb. Once in awhile I...
