dsciambi Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 They really got my hopes up too. 6pm hit, and they started the opening part of the game. By 6:02pm, blacked out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21KO Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Well, blacked out where I am. F you Comcast. F you NFL is more like it. I want someone to explain to me why they black these games out so far away from the market. The purpose of a blackout is to force locals to buy tickets, correct? Why blackout a game in states hundreds and thousands of mile away? I'm calling the NFL in the morning. Stay tuned. Don't leave this thread. Hey! Where you going?? I said don't leave!! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsciambi Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I think they black out the games because they're preseason, and don't fall under the NFL Sunday Ticket contract. By blacking them out, they're probably under the impression that they're sticking it to DirecTV (and their customers). Really though, they're just irritating fans. Edit: I also should clarify. The "they" I am referring to is whoever bought out the rights to the game (more than likely Comcast). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jofizz Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 No point in blacking out a game that was already played. Ticket sales have no effect from a re-run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbodiesel#44 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Blacked out here too, and I'm only 40 miles south of the stadium. Oh well. McNabb just got sacked, I'm feeling better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzinator53 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I was in Ocean City and didn't figure out that they were playing until the 2nd quarter! I finally flipped over to MASN from CSN and the game was in the 2nd Quarter! I was so pissed. Dang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
