The Boys are the favorites for a reason, they are the most logical winners.

All i can say, now that I have the first round bye in my fasntasy football wrapped up, is let's go Donald Lee. Show me your worthy of starting over Gates next week.
The same Donald Lee who had 1 catch for 10 yards against the Lions last week? Are you smoking?????

sorry, i side with the cable co. on this one. we pay enough for cable as it is. we have internet, digital and HD for $100 a month and we have NO premium channels. i don't need the nfl network for $2 more a month.
Comcast went through the same thing with the Big Ten Network -- they've said over and over that they cannot justify passing on the cost of niche networks to every subscriber across an entire cable system. My best recollection was that they offered to add it to the Sports Tier package which is available to all digital subscribers as a monthly a la carte add on like Scav was talking about. But they wouldn't budge on adding it to their basic and expanded cable lineups and making everyone pay for it.

I couldn't agree with that stand more.

What are you guys going to do to watch the game tonight?
stay home. watch on nfl network, and hope like hell the packers beat the cowboys.
my ONLY gripe with dish network is they haven't got nfl sunday ticket. has nfl network, both horse racing channels, and the local stations.
life is good.

i'm also siding with the cable companies. i would be irate if they bumped me up even more to add stuff i don't want. how much programming can the NFL channel offer anyway. i love that they held their ground.

The 2 weeks before that he had 3 touchdowns combined, while Gates was flipping mattresses after $h!tting them.
It all lies in the matchups.

Not to toot my own horn, toot toot, but the rest of my team is stacked enough that I can start my backups and beat 7/10ths of the teams in my league. Not even kidding.

The truth is that they dont care about passing the cost on to the customer. They are taking a hardline because they are trying to buy the NFL network. Lets see what happens after they get that done.

BW'3's is packed on the East Side here already. GB is in trouble. No KGB or Charles Woodson, and AL Harris not 100 percent.

Dallas takes it.

Yea, I should have rescinded that statement after I thought about it for a while. I can't remember, although I'm fairly young, when the NFC was so bunched up with such average teams. In year's past, at least 3 or 4 teams stuck out like sore thumbs. Not at all this year.

For those who dont get to see the game, announcer Bryant Gumbel is beyond rusty and Cris Collinsworth is really good.
