Same here mate, but they properly decided not to go overboard with paying the cost of the EPL rights as they don't want to face a similar fate to Setanta. I was just surprised that they are/have let go of all the other rights they currently have. I suppose it all comes down to money at the end of the day as most things do any they weren't willing to cough up what BT are.
Also, they are properly going back to what they know and going to concentrate on the American market, where they made their name.
