Nothing brings pressure like Congress talking about reexamining anti trust laws lol
The Leahy-Specter letter, which also came after attempts by the league to lobby the federal government in November and early December, questions the NFL's justification for restricting the distribution of game programming to cable outlets and the senators urged Goodell to take prompt action to make games more broadly available.

"The NFL appears to be moving incrementally closer to limiting distribution of its programming to subscription television," the senators wrote. "Now that the NFL is adopting strategies to limit distribution of game programming to their own networks, Congress may need to reexamine the need and desirability of their continued exemption from the Nation's antitrust laws."

I'm sure Gooddell was pinching when he read that...

It wouldn't cost anything and they'd be able to get more ad $$$ because games would be available to wider markets.

CBS already does this with march madness. During the first round there's usually up to 4 games on at a time and I get all four on channel 12. Because of the new digital television standard, each channel gets up to 6 sub-channels. So I get a game on 12.1, 12.2, etc.

That is not over the air tho. The networks don't want the cable companies to get the Sunday Ticket because they want people watching the network itself, that is where the Nelson ratings come from. They like that it is a small market. They don't want everyone having access to it. As for March Madness I would bet that only the local station is doing that not national. DirecTV is the only carrier of that.
 
^ lmao.

Anyways, big game tonight. Kaczur and Neal are both out for the Pats. O'Callaghan and Hochstein starting instead.

Brady needs 2TDs to break the record, and so does Moss. The team needs 6 points to break the total points in a season record.

WOW!! Marshall Faulk picked the Giants..What a shock :rolleyes: .Bitter much Marshall? He still hasn't gotten over the bitch slapping the Pats put on the Rams in New Orleans..

I wish NBC and CBS could have used their own broadcasters!!
 
Zioxide, as much as I dislike your team, I feel for you as a game that may make history is hosted by Bryant Gumbel.

So what station is everyone watchin'?

I'm watching CBS.
 
oh why do the worst announcers anywhere on tv have to broadcast this historic game? i hope all the nfl films pieces are all with the pats radio announcers, because this is awful.
