Is Friday's Game on TV?

Crusader · 08-11-2011, 02:45 AM

I got it on the NFL Gamepass, one of the few advantages we international fans have.

What I don't get is why they don't make the games PPV in the areas that don't have the coverage. You could even make a online PPV like my gamespass. I mean it would just mean more fans got to watch their team and mor $$$ for the NFL.

We Hou-Dats go thru this every year. We tried a bar that had a pirate dish. that was spotty. We tried plugging in a website from Ed's computer into the tv.... looked like a snowstorm. sites go down.... etc etc. Everybody gets all pumped up, drives to wherever we meet, then ...sigh. I give up.

I remember listening to a faint am signal come in, when I was near Many, La, sitting around picking up whatever I could. been going thru this crap with preseason for almost 30 years.

Don't go to the bathroom or anything in the 1st quarter or you might miss the starters.

Hey turbo dog... I'm not too far away from ya and here in Pensacola and they show the Saints preseason games on our local NBC and CW affiliates. I can't imagine Biloxi being much different since yall are even closer to Nola.

If you can spare 20 bucks, NFL.com streams all of them in high def:

It's better to get it out of your system now than after a bowl of gumbo.

Problem is, I get NBC out of New Orleans. Fox is carrying the game there. I get Fox out of Mobile, where the NBC station is carrying the game. I might have to watch the replay on NFL network.
