Virgil Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Wait, the only way to watch is to pay for it? Why are pay channels adding extra pay options. What is this, EA sports? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 It says it will be available "on demand" until Wednesday also. Hopefully that means I can watch it Monday evening or something on Comcast. Screw paying for ESPN+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Does this require ESPN App? Will Comcast On Demand have it available-is What’s important to me. I shared earlier this year I met Chris B & Tommy driving in to TPC for a charity golf tournament. They seemed genuinely surprised and happy I knew them immediately. We chatted for a few minutes -while traffic backed up behind them (like I cared..) Asked who my favorite team was. Recognizing the floor availed me, I smiled and did my Berman impression “the BUFFalo Bills!” Berman Immediately broke in to “NOBODY Circles the wagons, like the Buffalo Bills!” ?❤️ It. Was.

BillsSbSoon Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Best highlight show of all time for me hands down. Highlights have never been the same since they stopped it.

NBC paid so much for the games, they got that Sunday night 7-8:30 window exclusive for highlights show. Sure ESPN now has figured out that does not covering a streaming only chanell. I am sure NBC is livid, and i am sure it took till now for the lawyers to clear it 13 hours ago, DuckyBoys said: don't know that it will be the same but I will always have fond memories of early fantasy football watching the show trying to get stats before the paper would come out the following day me too brother!

Livinginthepast Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) For people of a certain age (born before 1975) this show represents everything that was great about the NFL. Great in depth highlights, great analysis, great humour and Chris Berman who loved the Buffalo Bills. It was an utter travesty that the idiots in the league agreed with the Aholes at NBC that ESPN could no longer run NFL primetime at 7PM on Sundays. Why? because it might distract viewers from NBC's epically lame football night in America highlights which basically was weak in all the areas where Primetime was strong. ESPN for their part should have pressed on with the show with full support but instead ran it in a different slot where it withered and died.

His wife was 3x over the limit and killed someone just going about his day. I imagine he had some idea of her drunk driving habits and have little sympathy towards him in this regard, though I imagine the emotions of someone whose partner’s reckless and selfish behavior took someone’s life are unimaginably complex.
