If I were running the NFL Network...

[phinfan2003]

I would re-air the game on Saturday morning at about 9am or 10am. If you think about it, the NFL Network is a site dedicated to football and especially the die-hard fans. Don't they realize that fans would rather watch the Dolphins game rather than the 10 reruns of NFL TA? Plus, since it's a "replay", it wouldn't fall under that legislation. Instead, they are going to replay it on Sunday night at 8pm? What good is that for us fans?

This case is showing, once again, that the NFL has NO REGARD for the fans.

They are screwing thousands of people (Sunday Ticket subscribers) who have ALREADY paid them for a service that they are not providing.

I'm sick to death of hearing the "keeping in the spirit" of some 1950's horse **** legistlation about not interferring with high school football.

It is 2005...this is basically pay per view. Show the damn game.

At least you can watch it if you want Sunday evening. Better than nothing. It will also be shown at 1pm Sunday on NFL ticket!

I think the poster that responded to all of those people who are getting the game on Canadian Sunday Ticket put it best when he made a comment about the fact that "they can get it in Canada but in the country where all the teams are from and where most of the games are played (don't forget that game in Mexico) you can't get it". Just another example of politics gone bad. Right now, I'd rather live in China as long as they gave me all of my Dolphin games (not really but that's how I feel right now).

You're right that watching it on Sunday night is "better than nothing" but it's not better than watching it on Sat. morning. Plus, there's no reason they couldn't show it on Saturday morning. You could say "well at least you can watch it when it appears on ESPN Classics 10 years from now. It's better than nothing"
