Just six days away.....

Subject: Just six days away..... Mon Jul 30, 2007 9:51 pm

Is anybody else giddy about the fact that we are just six days away from the Hall of Fame game?

Now.....

Is anybody else pissed off that you can only see that game on the NFL Network?

Seriously, they need to do something about getting the NFL Network to be a basic cable channel that is part of even the cheapest cable/satellite package. It sucks that you have to get a premium package or a satellite to be able to see it.

Anyway, that being said....

JUST SIX DAYS AWAY FROM NFL HIGHLIGHTS ON SPORTSCENTER!!!

WHOO HOO!!!

I was really pissed about the whole NFL network until I bought a new house and got Directv, now that I get the NFL network I don't seem to mind. It is a pretty awesome channel with the replays of last years games during this offseason.

However, this little pissing match between the NFL network and the cable companies needs to end, you know there are going to end up being some kick ass games that only air on the NFL network and fan outrage will be huge. Also, I guarantee you that the NFL network takes exclusive coverage to the draft as soon as the ESPN contract is up.

Fuck... whoever needs fucking in order for me to be able to get NFL network.

I'd get a dish if I could, but I rent, and boss says only place for a dish is on the back balcony. The woods come right up to it, and you can't see any sky unless you look straight up.

Don't know who's fault it truly is... but I'm getting pissed off at the league anyway. I can has Thursday games? No. Not yours.

I knew it was all part of an elaborate NFL/Century 21 conspiracy.

well the best option I have being in Australia is to sign up for Yahoo NFL Game pass and watch it on my computer. For a whole season it cost about $250 USD last season.

It's worth the money to me, giving me access to every regular season game live and over the following 24 hours.

The only downsides to it are:

#1 Game archives available for 24 hours after end of game only so there is really no way for me to watch every game, so I need to choose wisely, but it's easy to switch from game to game while they are being played.

#2 Coverage does not include post-season broadcasts.

An Australian has the option to see games are are not available to me. Sweet.

I hate cable, the NFL, and trees.

EDIT: That's not too bad a price I don't think... isn't that about what the NFL Sunday Ticket thingy costs to those of us that have the dish?

As a girl without cable of any kind, I don't think I have to say that the whole discussion of the NFL network makes me kinda cranky.

Stupid NFL Network.
