Default NFL caves....

If I understood it right, for some reason it was not going to run on
network tv... Could be wrong though...

That's true. It was/is scheduled to show on the NFL Network. The problem
there is that only DTV (and COX I believe), "gives" you that network as part
of the lowest rate tier. The others (Dish, Comcast, etc), make you buy a
more expensive tier to get that channel. As a result, over 1/2 of the
country would not be able to watch the game.

The NFL did concede to the local market, and all of New England, and NY
would already be getting it on a local broadcast channel. Now, as Tom says,
they caved and the whole country can watch it. Good call.

You would have seen it locally anyway, right? I have DTV, so it was never
an

WHOO HOO!!


How's that Jerry Jones - you freakin' moron.


Of course there is something disquieting about this - as in I can't
get an answer out of my two Democratic Senators about the impending
EPA runoff/gray water issue for small boats nor can I get an answer
out of my Democrat Representative about the same issue.


I can, however, get them to intervene in the Partriots/Giants game
controversy and watch them brag about it on TV without even asking
them to.
