Re: ESPN may lose EPL Football(Update)
This is very interesting? I wonder what this means for VM ?

Chief executive of BT Vision Marc Watson told The Guardian that the broadcaster is keeping all its options open after it secured the rights to a 26-game package and 12-game package in last month's £3 billion auction, including a clutch of "first-pick" matches between the biggest sides.
Of the possibility that BT Vision may not offer its packages to Sky subscribers, Watson said: "That is an option, but it is early days, we are considering all options.
"Having games like these gives you options. We have had a lot of calls in the last few weeks. My instinctive view is to look to make it widely available, but we will see."
Watson added: "We'd have taken more games at the right price. For the first time in history the Premier League sold the first-pick matches, the crown jewels, to someone other than Sky.
