I hate NFL Network

[Dillagii]

I so badly want to watch Packers - Cowboys game tomorrow night and they are showing it live only on freaking NFL Network. Does anyone know any sites where I can watch this game online?

Is this game on a Thursday? Why?

But to your point, I agree. Instead of making me clamor to subscribe to the network, it makes me never ever want to give them money.

I thought most dish cable services carry NFL network don't they?

comcast doesn't carry it as part of the basic package (and when i say basic, i have everything except the fox sports channels and the nfl network) anymore....effin' b.s. i tell you.

Some around these parts do, but most don't.

That's right. I have comcast and they dont carry NFL network.

NFL network wants cable companies to pay them (10 live games a year, plus a ton of filler) about twice as much as they pay CNN (24 hours a day, 365 days a year of live news). I can see why Comcast and Warner are balking.

I'm guessing a lot of bars will be showing the game. They'll be the real winners.

Is this game on a Thursday? Why?

IIRC, NFL Network gets the last 4 weeks of the regular season games for Thursday night football. But I don't know why. Seems like that Packers/Cowboys would make a better SNF game than Pitt/Balt, but who'd have guessed that going into the season.

and I thought with the "flex schedule" in place SNF got first dibs on the game of the week each week. I still don't understand NFL scheduling. In a case like this you've got a playoff matchup half the country can't see.

(I, OTOH, will be watching it in HD, thank you very much.)
