Yea I am too. I also get the Steelers-Jets game on at 4. I'll probably watch that one. I get Ravens and Eagles on at 1.

No CBS game for me tomorrow since the Eagles play at home at 1pm:(

I keep forgetting that something changed over the years because back in 1992 if the Eagles played at home at 1pm during a CBS doubleheader weekend, then I didn't get the 4pm game on CBS

I would have to watch the 4pm game on NBC instead


So I'm saying all this to say that I get the Steelers/Jets too-LOL

Oh that's good. I never understood that rule. The Home Team game is over, you should get the late game. lol

But you do remember that right? Back in the 1990's if there was a big NFC east doubleheader day and the Giants played the Eagles in Philly at 1pm and then the Cowboys played the Skins in washington at 4pm and both games were on CBS

I would not get to see the 4pm game. LOL

I never lived in a city that had NFL football so that never affected me. I believe the Washington Fox affiliate which is in DC had that rule but since I had another FOX affiliate , I still got the doubleheader.

Yeah it sucks living in a NFL city-lol


When I lived in hartford, CT during my college years it was great because I was able to get Jets, Giants, and Pats games.

It's great right here where I live. I get Redskins and Eagles every week on Fox Affiliates. I get Ravens every week on my CBS affiliates and I get Steelers on and off as well. A few weeks I actually get double headers on both CBS and Fox depending on the games. Sometimes one affiliate will have an early game and the other will have a late one. lol

It really would. I can turn on NFL Network and get instant updates during the games. I did enjoy the free preview last week though. I ended up watching The Red Zone channel a lot. lol It isn't worth the price though. lol

The Redzone channel is only nice for the 1pm games because it's more game for them to shift to. During the 4pm games it may only be 2 or 3 games versus 6 or 7 at 1pm

Makes sense that wouldn't get the Skins game since your market team plays at 4pm.


I was about to ask you......"how do you not get the skins game and live in D.C?:lol: :lol: :lol:


I had to remind myself you are in upstate NY LOL

I could never watch a NFL game in a sports bar, only a NBA game

Now that's strange. I am the opposite. You can watch NBA on just any channel but NFL is different. Access to NBA and other sports is easier than NFL.

It's probably because sundays to mean relaxing in your living room with your favorite snack while watching the game.

With the NBA it's on every night almost so I wouldn't feel like I need to be home when it's on TV

NFL is more scarce and challenging. The build up for a regular season NFL game is greater than the other three sports because NFL is shorter and every game counts. 16 NFL games vs 82 for NBA and NHL and 162 for MLB.

The Cowboys/Seahawks games are always hard for me b/c I hate cheering against my home team (the team I grew up with, meaning the Cowboys) but I have to cheer for my Hawks! But if Dallas wins, I guess I won't be too upset! It would be nice for the Hawks to win though. It's kinda still my birthday!

So far we're doing pretty well! It'd be nice to see them win for my birthday! Plus they lost their first regular season game, so they really need this win! But if Dallas wins, I won't be too terribly upset, I guess!
