Merry Christmas lynwood, great present having the Saints televised in your neck of the woods.
They will clinch Sunday so it will be even more special to watch.

Hey LW, whaer did you see that? I have seen in the past where a SAINTS game is listed on Time-Warner's program guide as scheduled to be shown or Fox will run commercials saying that the game is going to be broadcast here, but then it does not play. That is always a pain because i end up missing the 1st quarter as I rush out to catch it at the sports bar.

I've had tat happen before too but i'd have to think a home game with playoffs on the line they would show it. WWW.TVGUIDE.COM was where I saw it. Also saw it on www.myfoxhouston.com. Saints vs skins, then eagles vs Giants. Nice day of football.

I am happy for you, lynwood. They're broadcasting the Wash./New O. game in SoCal, too! I can't believe how blessed the city of angeles (and surrounding area) is to see so many saints on sunday!

But I just found something out, and I don't know if this is common knowledge or covered in another thread, but speaking of televised games out of area... did anyone notice on the schedule for Saints v. Giants, they took it off Sunday night? It's back to the ol' 1pm time!!!

They stole our nationally televised game because we're too good and now no longer fighting for contention!!!!!!!!

GRRR!!!!!

I wouldn't mind seeing them on prime time going against the Giants, I know that this game was originally set to start at 12:00 but this game could turn out to be a huge game for both teams.
Do any of you think they'll move this one to prime time?

It the giants game - would be a big draw game if moved to prime time. But, I don't think it will happen because it is Christmas Eve and everyone wants to get home early.

My bad, guys...

I could have SWORN they mentioned that the Saints/Giants game was going to be Sunday night, no less I could have sworn they said this on TV during one of our games, and I mention talking about it in chat! I was all happy saying it would be the perfect Christmas gift to us out of towners. I think I'm going crazy.

Not only that, but on the yahoo saints page I usually go to had the start time for late sunday night for a couple weeks back. I only noticed this week it was back at the 1pm eastern start time. Am I going wacky, or did anyone else notice this conflicting/changing gametimes the last couple weeks?
