All other blacked-out games will be available immediately in the NFL Preseason Live archives following the conclusion of those games. NFL Preseason Live is only available to users within the United States, Bermuda, Antigua, the Bahamas, and any U.S. territories, possessions and commonwealths (including American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands). If I knew that I could go out to dinner w/ my wife for our anniversary, pay $20 to the NFL and watch the RGIII do his thing for a quarter when we get back to the B&B while she soaks in the tub...I'd do it in a minute. The fact that the Bills probably won't sell out means that I can't watch it until Friday night (have more plans) - so that puts it at Saturday morning...might as well wait til we get home on Sunday.

My lovely wife surprised me for my 40th and our anniversary by planning a wonderful trip to a B&B Maine. We leave morning 8/9, have reservations at a nice restaurant at 7 PM that night (our actual anniversary). My parents have DirecTV MAX and offered to let me use their account so I can watch the game on my iPAd - but it I just found out DirecTV streaming only works during the normal season. Anybody have input what I should do here? Wife is very understanding and offering to cancel reservations - but she really put a lot of work into this. Not sure I can go til Sunday to watch when we get home. I can record on my Tivo at home - but not sure how to automate an upload. Anybody dug into streaming yet...but my problem is that I may not be able to stream.....I may need to d/l at a later point and watch....later that night (highlights) or in the AM while she sleeps in. ---------- Post added August-5th-2012 at 06:21 PM ---------- I notice that the NFL has a $20 deal you can sign up for to watch preseason games. I don't mind that so much - but I'm concerned about a non-sell out and it getting blacked out - so I can't d/l it for 24 hours. Any insight into that? Thanks everyone.

For those of us in our miserable lives about to laugh again....I salute you.

For Dallas Week...

I'm @ a family reunion in MO.... I can't ge the game and all I have is my Blackberry. Anybody know a good app or website for mobile users? Not looking for video....just real time score & state of who did what. My bro inlay and I thank you in advance.

A little ownage from a few years back at Fed Ex....

I do see a lot of pink jerseys in the stands.... I mean - it couldn't hurt to try.....hell we've tried everything else....even McIntosh is playing defense.......

Not very good - but I gotta get to bed.....long day tomorrow....

PCS - I figure she was the least likely to go all litigious on my ass.

We all need to lay off dks....she's gonna get a big head here pretty soon.....she'll quit college - move to Hollywood - work as a waitress - get discovered by a "producer" - take semi-risky photos to augment her waitress income - the following year she will be discovered by a real producer - land a big gig.....maybe co-star w/ the Doc in Lost or Keifer in 24...... ....and we can think back....yeah - we knew her when she was a broke ass tattooed college young lady......meanwhile she can have her butler read Extreme Skins and summarize it for her daily in a brief. Seeya on Cribs dks.

Thanks bossman. I appreciate everyone's warm welcome around here - as I'm still fairly new. Met some real nice people here through your site. Thanks.

Hey Zeb....if you can link to it - I'd be thrilled..... I have no idea why her email blocks her pic - I'm way behind the teens and early 20 folk who understand all the Internet stuff - Hell, I went to the trouble of setting up an email account on my server for her so she could email it like you do on Hotmail - Really CZ - end our misery - post it - link it - I gotta go to bed. I'll check back in the A.M.

I know everyone is waiting to see dks - and we are trying to work out why her server blocked out the pic - but in the meantime - Mrs. GV just got home w/ our holiday pics......thought I'd share a Non-Skins related pic. The dog was a maniac (notice the pulled back ears from where I just yanked her back on the box) - the lil one was screaming - wife was pissed off about something or other....not sure how this one turned out:

Yeah burrito - I emailed dks - she emailed me the pics too. For some reason the attachment was blocked on her side. I did not get it either. Your hotmail did not block it. If she zips the picture - or saves it as a .jpeg or .gif and emails it to me I think we could have a public unveiling tonight.... ...and, yes, I'm sorry - could not resist - the picture above is not dks....

Drumroll please...... You've been waiting.....I present to you all Extremeskinners....dks - she is in the middle - 3rd from the right or the left and is the shortest in the group:

Consider me braced..... Hit me w/ your best shot.....

Am I allowed to post it here for all to see?

I know you and burrito are playing Internet flirtsy here....but c'mon - we all wanna see the face of the "tat". I'm sure you know someone that you could email the pic to that could put it up here for you.... gv@ihatedallas.com Maybe you can make Trevor and Burrito fight for you......two more and we can have an Extremeskins Elimidate......

Pics can be found below.....Remember the camera adds 40#. GV as Ramsey in 03 when he was on the ground more than upright......Yes, I wore it the entire game.
