cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2007 Well at least the Colts managed to get somewhat back on track tonight. If they can get to being somewhat injured instead of decimated they might be able to win out. Might lose to Jacksonville, but that's about it. The one upsetting thing about Green Bay is that they don't seem to finish people off. Detroit sorta half ass got back in that game today, I recall Minnesota staying in one earlier, and the Bears came back to beat the Packers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingPK 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2007 It does massively suck that a game that could decide the #1 seed in the conference is going to be available to only like 30% of the country. And be called by Bryant Gumbel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2007 They should've moved it to NBC. I doubt either team would have minded an extra few days off after the Thanksgiving games. First regulr season matchup of 10-1 teams since 1990 (according to Sportscenter) and nobody gets to fucking watch it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Happy Medium 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2007 Luckily, as a resident of the DFW, it will be shown on a local affiliate. Still. The fact that Bryant Gumbel is calling the sporting event of the month is a bit bothersome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad that's restricted to people with DirecTV. I've never understood how Sunday Ticket is available universally in Canada, but not in the US. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaxxson Mayhem 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2007 How did Bryant Gumbel keep his NFLN play-by-play job after last year's debacle? He better have gotten a LOT better since then. He's really quite awful. Both him and collinsworth are. It's painful to listen to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2007 I almost feel bad for you guys, as a DirecTV customer, I've had NFL Network since it's debut but almost never watch it. I even have it on my cable system out at my school. Their coverage of the draft back in the spring was excellent, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should see how much the NFL Network wants to charge just because it has the 8 games. Not to mention their demand to be in the basic cable lineup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kinetic 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2007 I think they provide better-than-usual coverage of NFL Network games on NFL.com this season. I'll find out how comprehensive it is, because that's probably what I'll end up doing for this game. If it's just the stats and moving, colored lines GameCenter thing, then fuck it. I'll catch the highlights after the thing. Question my fanhood if you must. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
