Dornoch, do they offer good benefits over at DirecTV? I’m coming to the conclusion that you must be an employee.

“If you were a fan who didnt want to miss anything, you would get a directv. If you live somewhere where they don’t allow directv, move.”

Now THAT’S the stupidest thing I’ve ever read on this site. Yeah, let me just go ahead and uproot myself and my family so I can overpay for satellite TV. Good plan. The fact remains- the league is being a pile of douche for keeping Sunday Ticket exclusively on DirecTV.

Didn’t the Rays just steal that white uniform from the Mariner’s?

Sounds like you have the system you want. It just doesn’t include NFL network.

It also doesn’t include Sunday Ticket so it is obvious that having the majority of NFL games at your disposal is no big to you.

You are still going to get your 3 games on Sunday afternoons. Enjoy.

As for the rain, they sell covers for the dishes that solve that problem. So you can start looking for a new reason to not get directv.

I disagree, in March they start showing the combine!

Just kidding, but NFL Network has the America’s Game series which is really good, plus for a while they were showing NFL Classics, which was fun to watch some old games, especially since ESPN Classic never shows old NFL games.

The passion comes from a greedy multi-billion dollar business creating artificial demand for a network WE DON’T NEED, and then HAVING THE BALLS TO BLAME THIS ENTIRE MESS ON THE CABLE COMPANIES.

Greedy lying fucks.

And, for the last time, I DON’T WANT DIRECTV, AND I SHOULDN’T BE FORCED TO GET DIRECTV. I want a television system that I can watch when it rains.

If you don’t have Sunday ticket and are at the mercy of what games Fox, CBS and NBC are showig you are missing abot ten games per week on average.

Just consider these games on NFL Network as games you wouldn’t have access to anyway if they were being played on Sunday.

If you have Sunday Ticket, you have directv and you have NFL Network. I really don’t see why this is such a big deal? Yes, I’m sick of the complaing.

Anyone who doesn’t want to miss any NFL action has the same options they have before the NFL network came along. Get directv, get all the games. Don’t get directv, miss out.

Why the passion about a few Thursday and Saturday games being missed but no care in the world about missing ten games every Sunday?

If you were a fan who didnt want to miss anything, you would get a directv. If you live somewhere where they don’t allow directv, move.

I was using his words when I said “fantasy geeks and degenerate gamblers.” However, the is no reason why ANYONE needs the NFL Network in, say, March.

The “shit” for help that McNabb has had since TO left was just a few points away from the NFC Championship game with Jeff Garcia as QB and an offense centered on Brian Westbrook last year after being given up for dead at 5-6 after McNabb went down with another injury.
