God how I hate NFL network

Didn't see the game Sunday. Needed to see it on NFL Replay. Got home from work, turned it on the DVR.

Nope.

Thirty minutes of Cowboys press conference because of Tony Romo. $#!%!!!!!!!!!!

Steelers' first 21 points were pre-empted. Love it.

I can see it via NFL Game Rewind, I guess.

 

Dude NFL Network is like a dang PR extension for the stupid cowgirls. Irvin and Deion seem to talk about them like CRAZY.

 

I had my NFL mobile app get blacked out midway through the game on Sunday. My son insisted on watching Pokemon on the main TV and my wife wasn't feeling well and was taking a nap in our room and it was the only way I could watch the game until they blacked it out. Strange very strange.

 

This ain't my daddy's NFL!

 

Yeah any game that is nationally televised is blacked out on Sunday Ticket and I bet it probably is on those other apps too huh?

 

You aint lyin'! It's incredible how closely you can follow a team now. Used to people were just at the mercy of what was going to be on tv at the time and pretty much had 2 games to choose from and could then watch MNF. Now you can literally watch every single red zone play at one time. You can pick from every game. You can watch it on your phone if you are not home. Sunday was pastor's appreciation day where I pastor and there was a dinner made in my honor. So where I pastor is pretty far from my house so after the dinner I just spent the rest of the day until the Sunday night service at church in my office laying on my couch watching the Pats/Bears game on my phone. That is absolutely incredible that you can watch any NFL game from your PHONE! I really think technology has really helped to shoot sports in to the stratosphere. Especially the NFL with all the fantasy fans.

 

That's all to ensure that local and regional advertisers reach their intended audiences.

When you're paying for a product like cable/satellite television and Sunday ticket you shouldn't be forced to watch a bunch of stinking commercials.

That was always kind of the trade off with free television ,you got the television shows ,but you had to watch the commercials.

I remember the days before direct TV and Sunday ticket watching Steelers games on one of those giant satellite dishes. It was a live feed so when they would normally breakaway to commercial you would get to see stuff that was happening on the field and stuff that was going on with the announcers. It was all live in uncensored so sometimes you would hear some pretty interesting stuff.

This was late 80s early 90s. I can remember having to call some 800-number about an hour before gametime and they gave you the coordinates to dial-in the satellite dish. I can remember I had to pay for that service, but I don't remember how much.

 

There's like three or four threads about the replay for this game. I can't remember which one without looking for it, but I think one of them said there was a replay at 12 or 1230 on Wednesday.

 

On a separate but related note... That silly round-up that Irvin and Sanders do of all the games on Sunday didn't actually mention that Ben broke any records in the game. I know they have to be quick to cover all of the games, but come on...
