All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
well you're pretty much assured a junk game when one of the teams is Detroit.
true....but why the hell do we have to see Miami at Detroit every single ****ing year? I'm sick of that matchup. Oh and don't even get me started with the Bucs at Dallas....
I love this quote...it shows that the NFL definitely isnt innocent in this whole thing...
The NFL Network filed a lawsuit against Comcast, which is trying to make the channel a premium tier offering for new subscribers.
"Comcast is prepared to add the NFL Network on our digital sports tier in our new Time Warner and those Adelphia systems that don't already carry the channel," Comcast executive vice president David Cohen said. "Unfortunately, the NFL has filed a lawsuit and Comcast cannot move ahead until the litigation is resolved. Comcast believes it has the right to carry the NFL Network on a sports tier and will vigorously defend its position."
Spokesman Mark Harrad says Time Warner would pay $140 million a year to provide the channel to all 13.5 million of its subscribers in 33 states, placing it in the top five most expensive cable networks.
"If we put all expensive sports programming on the standard tier of service, that would increase our rates to all of our customers, even those who didn't particularly care about football or these games," said Harrad.
NFL Network spokesman Seth Palansky countered that other cable companies and the two main satellite providers are "happily" carrying the network. http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pb...611220356/1063
Basically, the NFL wants it their way or the highway.
I especially love how they give junk games for the regular people that will only get the day games. Yet they have a sweet matchup for the night game.....KC vs Denver?
Detroit and Dallas have hosted Thanksgiving DAY games for decades...that's why those are the day games...tradition.
if Miami ever has the shot at the game it recently it seems like they give it to them
well, what do you expect? The NFL has to get one AFC team in on Thanksgiving. The Bills and the Jets were both supposed to suck this year, and they already have Detroit to deal with. And God forbid the NFL ever give their pet team (the Patriots) a short week before a road game. The goal is to make it EASIER for the Pats to win, not HARDER.

Yeah Mikey....every freakin' year...this is like the 3rd time we have ever played the Lions on Thanksgiving.,,EVER!!! Nice try though. We played Dallas the last 2 times in 2000 and 1993.
See I told you....the NFL wants ridiculous amounts of money just to broadcast their game on their channel, which the cable and satellite suppliers would pass onto the customers. That's crazy. I wouldnt be surprised if the government steps in and starts the anti-trust stuff.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
My cable company carries the NFL Network. Fat & lazy consumers that didn't go out and get a TV provider that gives them what they want miss out.
I applaud the NFL making more games available to a national audience at more times. Put this game on Sunday and you probably would have missed it anyway
