Effectiveness of spreading a petition to get Pats v. Giants on TV?

[MicroBob]

But it was already mentioned that Milwaukee is getting the game locally and they are more than 50 miles from GB.

The Broncos Thanksgiving (NFL Network) game last year was shown locally in basically all of Colorado, not just Denver.

I can't speak for the southern areas and the far west by Utah.. but the entire Denver Metro, and Fort Collins/Greeley showed the Broncos game.

That being said.. NFL Network still owns and any big NFL fan should have it.

I believe things are different this year. I saw somewhere that its like a 50 mile radius from the metro areas the teams play will get the game if they don't have NFL network. Last year anyone who had that local station got the game.

I could be wrong but thats what I heard on the radio.

Its still anyone who gets the local station. Bloomington (60 miles from Indy) got the Thanksgiving game.
The easy way to figure it out is this: If you have ever had a game blacked out, then you are in an area that will get the local market NFLN games over air.

So it is incredibly lame that the Patriots could be taking there shot at being undefeated on the NFL network which no one has.

Does anyone think the game will be made national if they are 15-0 going into it? Would some kind of huge public outcry have any effect on the NFL pulling this stunt? Any idea if it is going to be in the New England market outside of the NFL network?

The Packers used to play home games in both Green Bay and Milwaukee. I'm not sure if this is still true but that is probably the reason Milwaukee is included.

Okay, I have a related question. If I am in the market of an NFL Network game, such as the upcoming Dal/GB game, that is shown on a local channel, does the NFL Network broadcast get blacked out? Because I'm gonna be pissed if I have to watch the game in standard def (the local channel in question doesn't broadcast in HD).

Not ideal of course, but it's better than nothing.
