Hello all, I don't usually use this space as a soapbox to make my voice heard on an issue, but with this week's NFL schedule it is clear the cable companies need to get off their ass and get this thing on ALL basic packages.
I mean, look at this week. The NFL Network got real lucky with both of its primetime game, tonight's Colts @ Jaguars game and Saturday's Cowboys @ Saints game, both unbeaten teams will only be shown in about 40 million homes in the country.
If that doesn't sound like blasphemy to anyone else I don't know what does. I mean really, this is the National Football League, the greatest sports league in the country and both sides have been head strong in not budging to get this shown in the vast majority of homes.
It is on DirecTV and Dish Network, so if you live in a place where the cable company does not have it, you can still get the dish and be OK, but you shouldn't have to. This is ridiculous and this is just the situation the NFL Network has been hoping for to push the providers to pony up the cash to provide it. Most will only put it on the sports package, when the NFL Net demands being put on a basic package. Rightfully so, but really, are we five here kids? Just get this shit done already! Apologies for the language, but I'm very upset with this. Makes no sense to me. Took forever to get the Big Ten Network onto Charter and the NFL is much bigger and can't get on. Damn!
**Sigh**
Alright, enough of me ranting. Time for me to pick the winners of this week's NFL games. Winners are in bold, as always.
Colts @ Jaguars
Cowboys @ Saints
Patriots @ Bills
Cardinals @ Lions
Dolphins @ Titans
Browns @ Chiefs
Texans @ Rams
Falcons @ Jets
49ers @ Eagles
Bears @ Ravens
Bengals @ Chargers
Raiders @ Broncos
Packers @ Steelers
Bucs @ Seahawks
Vikings @ Panthers
Giants (24) @ Redskins (20)
Alright kids, now I got some videos for you. This first one is one that was passed to me by the same Luke that created the "Wilber's Way" flag. Not sure if this was a designed play or what. Check it!
OK, now we go t the NBA where one of my good friends, Austin and Travis, were at the Lakers Bucks game on Wednesday night. They're big Black Mamba fans and he delivered. If you've seen the shot, listen to the Bucks announcers voices.
One more video before we get into today's Nussie Hunter. This could be there, but I've featured the lovely Marissa Miller before and this is a pretty good video. Think of this as an early Christmas present from yours truly. I have one thing to say to Ms. Miller, "Tell me next time you're in Milwaukee!" It is the home of Harley!
Finally time for the Nussie Hunter today. And it's a good one! I'm sure every guy my age has seen the American Pie movies and Tara Reid is rather hot in them, not to mention Van Wilder. But lately she's more remembered for her botched boob job. Well, she's in this month's Playboy. Take a look for yourself, but I'd say she's back. And don't worry this isn't nakedness on my pages!
