Apparently the key word is "local". Most of the regular Green Bay Packer market will not be able to see the game. Only those that live in the cities of Milwaukee or Green Bay will have it on local stations. The rest of the state is out. So, that article makes it sound better than it really is.

Re: Effectiveness of spreading a petition to get Pats v. Giants on TV?
Didn't read all the responses but had to say that the NFL Network is awesome... during the season anyway. Love watching unedited press conferences on Sundays and usually watch their highlight shows which are much better imo than the hype machine that espn has become.
It is easily worth the money only for NFL Replay... which is a 90 minute enhanced broadcast w/ press conference and extra angles of the best five games of the week.

[/ QUOTE ] Madison is such extreme Packer country that it would be a ridiculous crime not to show the game there. They don't get the same TV stations as GB or MIL. As was mentioned in a different thread, they are really more like the Wisconsin Packers obviously. Everyone in the state is crazy for that team.

NFL Network pwns imo. I always watch Playbook and Replay - great shows. Pretty much impossible for a show including Deion Sanders to suck tbh.

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

Jerry Jones getting angry fans aren't able to watch their teams with the NFL network, give me a [censored] break. The NFL signed an exclusive contract with Directv which shutout millions of cable subscribers. He is lying through his teeth.

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.
