Remember this team well, thanks for posting. Some observations: An Al Cowlings sighting, who became best know for the quote, "My name is AC, you know who I am godamnit!" Great classic NFL Films music, including "The Happy Runner," appropriately, at the 15:36 mark Alvin Wyatt's odd single-bar facemask J.D. Hill with his entire name on the back of his jersey

I couldn't watch after the Pats playoff highlights...too soon. Maybe in about 50 years.

For example, an "In Market" game between Buffalo and Denver, will not be on NFLN in those two cities. If you are outside of Buffalo, any Bills game is considered "Out of Market" and will be shown on NFLN and NFL+.

Got tickets for Springsteen last week for March in DC. Yeah, I know all the controversy about the ticket prices and such, but I got a pair of pretty good seats for $200/each and was in and out of Ticketmaster in about 10 minutes. First saw him in Rochester in December 1980 during The River tour and have seen him several times since, the last being The River revival tour in 2016. Always an awesome three hour plus show.

Putting in a new Slurpee machine?

Not unlike these d-bags who grab a foul ball from a kid. I'm in my 60s, been to hundreds of minor and major league games, and never caught a foul ball. I'd love to catch one, and if I do, I'm giving it to the closest kid.

I've always found mid to late August the best time to call if you want ST.

Would be interested to see what's in the "NFL library programming on-demand (ad-free)." If it's the full catalog of highlight films from the 60s and 70s, might be worth kicking the tires on this.

We know the NFL has a flair for the dramatic...maybe they'll make an announcement via a one hour special on NFL Network in the off-season, similar to the schedule release? Seriously, I'm not concerned...seems like they have a stable of offers and like any business, will take the best one. Oh, and I like how Florio took a story and tried to make it his own here...he's shameless.

I was at games 2130 and 2131 for Cal. No further explanation needed. This is correct; however, fans in Buffalo, Detroit and other Canadian border towns/cities were able to see it live on CBC.

$70/month is pretty good. Did you have to lock in for a year with a contract?

Maybe if you didn't yell at them, you'd have better success. Remember you get more bees with sugar than with vinegar...or something stupid like that.

The stories coming out in the last week or so say that ST will continue to be priced in the $300-400 range because the local networks are worried no one is going to be watching whatever game they have on. For example, here in the DC area, the local Fox station, which primarily airs the Commanders (still a terrible name BTW) does not want people tuned into the game of their choice via whatever platform ST is on. Therefore, the NFL will price out all but those who can afford ST. What's become clear in the last week or so, is that the NFL does not want everyone to have ST. They want fans to watch whatever game/team is being force fed them on the LOCAL network. Sure, they'll take $3 billion from Apple/Amazon/Disney/whoever to sell ST, and they'll get it, but the local networks bitching to the NFL about ST has led to an artificial price point not based on supply and demand but based on protecting the local networks/markets.

I know I'm in the minority but I'm not a fan of Big Ears. He talks over the game announcers too much...all he needs to do is say what game they're going to and shut up. I find him annoying most times and especially when he does halftime highlights when there are other games going on live.

Just move Presidents' Day to the Monday after the Super Bowl. I remember as a kid, we got Lincoln's birthday AND Washington's birthday off, then the feds combined the two and the current holiday now seems to be closer to Washington's birthday. Let's remember Abe also and put it more in the middle of the month, closer to the Super Bowl.

None of the sports media outlets I follow are reporting this. Source?

I get that, but there's considerable lag time between streamed live sports and sports being broadcast by satellite, cable or over-the-air.

Yup, as predicted, but how they fix the lag...sometimes more than 10 seconds...is going to be key.

Ralph is cheap.

I remember this game well, with the Bills going 5-0 with the big win and Rod Kush having the game of his life, before he unfortunately got hurt, putting him out for the rest of the year. Disgusting that the Chargers are no longer in San Diego. Spanos stinks.
