Comcast bundles it with 8 other crappy stations and charges $8/month. That reminds me to call and complain right now.

There line is everyone shouldn't have to pay for it, but the comeback is that it shouldn't be bundled with other stuff I don't want to pay for.

GO TIME.

The NFL deserves a lot more blame in this situation than the cable companies do.

watch the game at a bar or on the internet.
Not ideal of course, but it's better than nothing.

how do you guys not get this game? isn't it on a saturday night so one station should have it?

That local market crap is BS as well. I live in Youngstown, OH where 85% of football fans are either Browns or Steelers fans. If you draw a diaginal line from Cleveland to Pittsburgh, Youngstown is smack dab in the middle.

Now get this...if the Browns are not sold out...the game is locally blacked out. However, last years NFLN Browns/Steelers game was not on local TV in Youngstown.

Seems we are local enough to black out, but not local enough to be considered "local market". Total BS.

Haven't been paying attention to this thread, have you?

Both Pats/Giants and GB/DAL will air in the local markets. But outside the local markets, they will be unavailable except on the NFL Network, which many cable companies do not carry.

The backlash is really going to start to pick up over the Dallas/GB game, then its just going to keep gaining steam up to the Pats/NY game imo.

I can't imagine them taking it off the network. The best way to promote the network is to put games on that are actually worth watching.
