Well the ~16 of us are locked in.
Well, I'm off to a somewhat auspicious start!!! lol lol
Seahawks win! Even though Geno Smith did well, Seattle proved that defense wins games. I did get tired of Aikman and Buck blaming all the Bronco false starts and delays of games on the fact that Denver did not play starters in pre-season. That MAY have been a factor, but if you come to Seattle enough times, you know the 12th man has a direct effect. And against Wilson (whom I still admire), they brought their A-game!
I would love to get there for a game someday. I didn’t have faith and picked against them, but they didn’t look too bad, at least in the first half!
Chiefs or Chargers???
FYI, if you have the DTV NFL package w/sports channels package, I called and bitched about the TNF on Amazon and got a 6 month 20$ off discount. Call the "Account Retention" department and let em have it for the broadcasts. I also complained about games I now don't get from my MLB package and got another $16.50 off for 6 months (Length of the package in both cases from a payment POV)
But you still didn't get the feed for the game!
You need Amazon Prime, or go to a sports bar that has the NFL ticket.
A special agreement was made for sports bars to get the feed.
Of course the business cost of the Ticket for my local sports bar went from 5.5k a season to 8k.
Ouch!
Please pardon me if I ask silly questions early in the season. The NASCAR playoffs are in full swing so I've been a bit distracted for several weeks.
But what is that symbol on KC's midfield?
If I remember correctly, it is the 50th anniversary of Arrowhead Stadium and that was the original logo.
I'm sick of these sports teams selling single games to streamings like Prime, Youtube, AppleTV, etc. It's happening in all sports - "extra coverage" on Golf+, Tennis+, NASCAR+, ESPN+ and all that shit. It's the opposite effect of expanding the fan base. It seems to be marginalizing to those who can pay big $ to subscribe to all those different services.
Good call. Sounds like the entire field, including end-zones, and throwback.
One game? I am fairly sure that the Thursday night game will be on Amazon for the rest of the year. It's why they way overpaid Herbstreet to partly steal him away from college football and came up with all those ridiculous graphics and logos. It cost them a billion for the rights to the Thursday games this year.
I'm lucky that my wife loves to shop Amazon and has Prime. Eventually I'll take advantage of it and watch some of the other shows like the new LOTR show.
Congratulations to Week 1 winner SkippyDO23 (10-5-1)!
Congratulations to Week 2 winner Garrell (12-4)!
ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats all.
I just read up on the Amazon stuff. 11 years. And just for the first year of the pact with the devil will the local game be on regular tv. Oh boy - a Texans game.
The only thing that coud be done is for folk not to watch the Amazon broadcast, but that's not gonna happen. The game comes on NFL channel 4 hrs later - so they could just watch the late game.
Man, I'm having a rough few weeks.
Congratulations to Week 3 winner Oxcy-Johnny007 (11-5)!
Congratulations to Week 4 winner SkippyDO23 (12-4)!
Hell! I was 50% or lower for two weeks straight!
Now that the Colts topped the Broncos, I'm well set for a third week of sucking.
Lots of winners this week! Congratulations to Week 5 winners Merlin1958, RUBE, Randall Flagg and Divemaster (11-5)!
Well, the air up here is much fresher!!!! lol
Congratulations to Week 6 winners gersto and Oxcy-Johnny007 (10-4)!
