He still does some NFL and NBA on Canal + which I don't subscribe to.<BR/><BR/>That accent business was so ridiculous! He still has it after I don't know how many years here in France. <BR/><BR/>Here is a picture I took of him back in 2002 during a "manif" in front of Vivendi when they were trying to throw Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10276952.post-86305946470828023902007-11-19T16:16:00.000-05:002007-11-19T16:16:00.000-05:00I wouldn't have subscribed with a French dubbing.T...<I>I wouldn't have subscribed with a French dubbing.</I><BR/><BR/>They were doing that with the NBA when I lived there.

The entire channel is in English. So we get the FOX feed or CBS feed for NFL. I wouldn't have subscribed with a French dubbing. Replays of all the games on Monday and Tuesday.
