NFL 2013 Season

You're misunderstanding me Jimbo. I'm not saying that the NFL will offer Tuesday or Wednesday night football first and let ST get devalued. I'm saying the NFL will the ST contract expire after the 2014 season FIRST because Directv will not renew it and none of the other TV providers will buy it due to the high price that the NFL wants. After the ST contract expires and no longer be offered, that's when the NFL will try to squeeze some more money from Fox, NBC, and even CBS (although CBS doesn't invest a lot in their sports network like the other two) to get more games nationally televised on their cable sports networks. On the RARE chance that doesn't work out, the NFL would then negotiate ST at a lower price with either Directv or another provider and keep the current status quo on all the other TV contracts.

This would all have to fall into place at the same time or the Fans would be out of the ability to get thier teams for a year or so while negotiations drag on.
IF the ST contract were to expire say at the end of 2014 (I could have the wrong year, don't remember), there would have to be something in place by the middle of the year, say June so people would know how to get thier teams games, they can't just drop the existance of ST after all the years of popularity

I'm not saying this would happen, just thinking what might happen.
 
Ahhhhhh yessssss....... Nice to see the same good old dolphins again. Fins should be at the bottom of the division. SUCK!
 
I'm really considering being done with the NFL!! I'm so sick and tired of these horsesh*t calls!!

And they always seem to come at the most inopportune time. Feel your pain. I hate the Pats (respectful hate) but their fans a pretty cool. ..but $&!7 talking JETS fans are the worst. I had on friend talk about how he can see them "easily make the second round of the playoffs with this team..."

WTF.....

Well, Directv has about 20 million subs in the U.S. and I thought I read somewhere that 2 million sub to ST (have to find the article)

EDIT: Here you go: DirecTV currently pays roughly $1 billion per season for the Sunday Ticket package and about 2 million of its 20 million subscribers buy it at a price of $250 per season. http://articles.latimes.com/2013/may/10/entertainment/la-et-ct-directv-nfl-sunday-ticket-20130509

thats just a guess .........no better if you or i make a guess
my guess is 4-5 million with a large amount of $$$ coming in from businesses paying a higher price than the home user.

yet another opinion.

Like it or not, the interpretation of the rule is correct. My problem is WHEN they decided to call this rule for the first time. It's unacceptable to make this call in OT on a VERY low percentage kick (56 yards). I was watching one of the local postgame shows, and they clearly showed the Jets doing the same thing on Gostkowski's tying FG. And I'm sure that it's happened many more times over the last two months. What a strange time to introduce a new rule.
 
Wrong call. Jets won their Superbowl congrats to their whale of a coach and fans. 19-freaking-68.

"Team B players not on the line of scrimmage at the snap cannot push players on the line of scrimmage into the offensive formation."

Jones was on the line of scrimmage.

Jerome Bogar has no business being an NFL referee.

Again, calls get blown all the time. What is REALLY pissing me off is introducing a new rule on a friggin' 56 yard FG in OT!!
 
Bengals beat the Lions 27-24 thanks to a game-winning FG. At least it was a good game to watch.
No ....
Bengals beat the Lions due to a PATHETIC Punt at the wrong time that set Cincy up at thier own 40 yard line needing only 20 yards for a decent FG attempt.

Typical crap that goes in at GIANTS stadium when the Jets play.
 
You can't push the pile on a FG attenpt, but it's OK on an offensive play when the RB trys to get yardage ?
That happens all the time.
