Fuck Them for broadcasting live NFL Games that the average NFL Fan Cannot Watch. :finger: One of the best things about the NFL was how they used to do a good job of showing all the relevant NFL games on National TV and now they managed to fuck that one up too. :finger:
Are you talking about the amazing Broncos-Chiefs game that we can't watch? That really pissed me off.
Luckily my grandmother has digital cable so I got to watch the game over at her place tonight. Might even go over there some thursdays to catch some other ones (definitely the last one of the reg season).I think it's BS tho too.
Yep, I missed it stuck at my grandmother's for thanksgiving. Normally I would have been able to watch it but most regular joes don't have directv.
These are games that you wouldn't have ordinarily been able to watch anyway unless they were on SNF or MNF. You're not missing out on anything that you wouldn't have seen in the first place.
Good business move. Shell out the greenbacks or go watch hockey.I guess since I'm enough of an NFL fan to already have the NFL Network, I have a different point of view. But why show the games cheap when you can use them to drive the price up in the future?
Lucky me!! I discovered last night I have NFL Network. Got the game!! But I don't like this new tradition. Stick with the Cowboys and Lions only

Just look at Hockey for example, the league shit on the fans by not playing for over a year and now they are back and nobody cares about Hockey anymore.Now that's a bit of an extremeist example, but it's the job of the league to cater to the fans to a certain extent as they are what keeps the sport going.

(Reference post #5)They are doing the fans a favor by making more games nationally televised. It's up to the fans if they want to pay to watch it or not.

I'd put a 5 dollar bet to say it's 33rd or worse in 2006 without knowing any stats ahead of time.
