Last word from me on not televising the game last Friday:

Supposedly there is an agreement between all three levels of football (high school, college and the NFL) not to impinge on each other's game days. However:

1) ESPN televised the UAB/Southern Miss football game friday night
2) The NFL shows 2 games every Thanksgiving, perhaps the biggest day of high school football there is

3) After tuning in The NFL Network right after the game it was clear that Eisen and Co had watched the entire game live. They had too much knowledge of how the game went to have just looked at highlights. Eisen doesn't work in KC or Miami, why does the media (and he's barely that) get to watch a game that the general public doesn't?
 
They had a TV right in front of them while Total Access was being aired. You can tell that he was watching the game live as if the the TV was right next to the teleprompter. I remember Eisen yelling "Touchdown!" when Sage threw to Chambers as it was happening becasue they had the score up and he was in the middle of a sentance. But hey....its an NFL studio owned by the NFL. I'm sure they have every right to watch any NFL game live.

NFL: "We can not televise this game outside the local markets due to legal agreements"

They seem to have a lot of flexibility with this alleged law. I didn't know laws were for certain people and not for others.

Its a shame that Rich Eisen is the beneficiary of their generousity and not their paying customers.

And to add to that, a lot of preseason games are played on Fridays.
 
the NFL does not want to mess with highschool games. they have stated that. and i believe them.

they have no control over college games, or what ESPN chooses to show. but the NFL does have control over when their teams play.

the Chiefs are the ONLY TEAM IN HISTORY to play a game the same day they traveled. they got to miami the day of the game. can you believe that. amazing they played so well.

are highschool games played on thanksgiving? i didnt think they did. but who knows. the thanksgiving game is the only time they break their little rule, but its 1 day, and everyone is usually at home for the hollidays.

OK, bandwagon boy. You get over your 208 mil trainwreck of a baseball team getting discarded like the rubbish they are.

As stated before, you have nothing to add to an intelligent discussion of NFL broadcast policies.

Skip the thread and keep your lame opinions to yourself.

You seriously should relax. We had precedent for this last year. It should not have surprised you.

I thought the point of this site was to debate. "Relax and we had this last year" aren't good debate points. Neither is "The NFL Network is part of the NFL." I wasn't born in Kentucky but I think I had that one covered. I guess some of you think its fine that the NFL can make stuff on the fly to suit their needs and screw paying customers. I don't.

This will happen next year and the year after as we're in what appears to be a cycle of increased hurricane activity so pardon me if I point out that the NFL continues to sell its fans a steaming pile of dung disguised as law.
