      Money is money and they stepped up, that's the bottom line.

        Yes it is for PR, but it is still a nice gesture, why be cynical about it? Just say thanks.

            any company could have done the same thing, thast the point, like a previous poster said, its all about the bottom line......

            a nice gesture would have been an anonymous donation and tickets distributed, but they want the credit for it, albeit it will be nice to see it on tv..... but it is preseason, if this were the regular season i might see a lil more pep about it

                  i know how the damn business world works, but like i said its pr, it woudlnt matter who bought the last tickets, its still JUST PR.... it'd be nicer if it was a local company is what im trying to say, not some national multimedia conglomerate

                  as for the generosity, if they truly were generous they'd make a habit of this, but they wont, especially with that NFLN fiasco.

                      I guess you can't win with some people who always find some negativity or something to grind an ax about. I'm just glad the game is on. Why they bought the tickets I DON"T CARE. They didn't have to, I'm just glad they did.

                          If they really cared they'd broadcast it for me down here in NC! What has Time Warner done for me lately!

                            Yes, i's always for PR, but in this case, it's really needed.

                            TW has taken a real shellacking in the press lately, over the NFL Network and ESPNU deletions from their cable lineup.

                            At this point, they will do anything to get a leg up on dish and DTV

                            But, local advertisers, and companies benefit from the game being on, so it's good all around.
