Guess it is Bar Time Sunday.... (AGAIN)

A quick gripe....
First off, fuck Comcast.
Second off, fuck this region.
Sunday's lineup is out, and once again, there is another shit game on. Last week was Seattle v (someone). This week, it is shitty Ohio team v shitty Ohio team.
At least I understand the Seattle bit... fucking retards around here are all Seattle fans, even though the cocksucking city is 4 hours north. Of course, they go homer with Chokeland and San Fran as well.... you know...local...like West Coast.
This is fucking retarded.
NBC has it right with the flex scheduling. Fox and CBS need to pull their heads out of their asses and make with the entertaining football. 0-3 vs. 0-3 is not entertaining. The Packers and Jets are not entertaining. New Englad is not entertaining anymore.
Blargh!

They make satellite dishes and NFL Sunday Ticket for people like you who want to pick and choose your games...
I'm a comcast subscriber, and I could care less... I'll be at the bar anyways.

True, but Direct TV is not so great otherwise. May be worth it....will have to price it out. I realize I will not often get the games I want to see, but the lineup is pretty much ass most weeks.
The NFL is just as at fault. A perfect marriage would be to allow Comcast subscibers to get NFL Package games. Hell, I would happily PPV most weeks.

Direct TV NFL Sunday Ticket is the best!
I can watch 8 games at the same time every Sunday!
I love it!

How much do you pay for that package?
I really do not want to go to a bar to watch the game, but I am anyway! It used to be awesome when I lived next to a sports bar where the manager was a huge Broncos fan. He would always put the Broncos game on the big screen to the dismay of the Seahawks homos.
I live downtown now, so that place is not a very good option. However, I am on the light rail, so there are plenty of bars to go to.... will try not to have a 10am beer though, lol.

If you want the games in HD, it's like $300 for the entire season.
You get every Sunday game that isn't broadcasted on your local stations.

Oooo, totally worth it! Given what craptastic games are broadcast locally, it would be great to see my team every week.

Now I have to see if my location is viable for a dish (I have many trees and a rather large ridge.).
What do you do for internet? I really dig the Comcast speed... May have to just drop cable TV and keep the internet service, but would be nice to know if there is anything comparable for less than $60/mo.

Go figure.... I finally get an AFC-AFC game, alone in the 4EST time slot..... and....
CBS has no afternoon broadcast. Apparently Mountainbiking is the new rage. Foiled again!
HATE AND RAGE!
Bicycling should only be on channels that nobody has ever heard of. No offense bicylce folks, but we are talking football here....

I am going to have to disagree with you Caneleck. I would rather watch two evenly matched, yet shitty, teams go at it than a blowout any day of the week. Also, given the wacky nature of the league (go parity!), its kind of hard for the networks to even know what games are going to be competitive or interesting. What they used to do (and I wish they would do again) is drop blowouts and switch national coverage to more competitive games when this like the Seattle getting assraped by NYG happens.
