Just a heads up. I just went to check my broadband subscription and new for 2008 is that they are selling separate subscriptions to the broadband League Pass. So, you can subscribe to just the online LP. I know it is something that was discussed a while ago that some fans had wanted. They are running a free preview of it for the first week of the season.
