Any bar will have NBC Sports Network so you should be fine there.
It's a shame about the League Cup matches. Not sure when the rights are up again, but it'd be nice to see NBC get that away from Bien.
Lukaku definitely sounds off if he's on his way to West Brom's training facility. I was really excited at the thought of seeing him in an Everton shirt.
Porto is home to Benfica on Saturday. Two back in the table with two games to play. Win on Saturday and Porto almost assuredly wins the league. Impressive considering the aforementioned losses of Falcao and Hulk since the summer of 2011.
Is this true? EPL matches don't draw massive numbers over here (although growing by the year). ESPN shows a match most weeks, usually the early Saturday game (at the godforsaken start time of 4:45 a.m. here in the Pacific Time Zone) and Fox Soccer shows usually 3-4 matches per weekend.

These numbers aren't even close to what would actually be the terms of the deal. I'd agree with you under your hypothetical scenario, but that's not what realistically will be on the table.
