I HATE THE BUCS!

by Tristan on Nov 30, 2006 2:16 PM CST

So. Fox holds on to the Dallas and Giants game this Sunday. It's the big 4 o'clock game. National audience. What is Tristan doing this Sunday at 4p.m. eastern standard time? How about watching the god-forsaken Bucs play the Steelers? That's right ladies and gentlemen. Living two hours south of Tampa makes me want to hurt someone...badly...very badly. And since I don't have satellite there is nothing I can do to watch this game. I'm going to be stuck either sitting in my car listening to Sirius for three hours, or sitting in this chair watching stupid little helmets move across a green rectangle with lines on it. The same screen that is so delayed that during the last Washington game it said the game still had 19 seconds or so left 15 minutes into the next game. I just thought you should all share in my misery.

In other news, much better news, my Romo jersey arrived today. That makes me feel good about life again.

The worse part

Living barely to close to Detroit I can feel your pain, but the worse part is when the Leos are not playing and they show another bad NFC North game instead of the Cowboys game enjoyed by the rest of the country.

You should be able to find a sports bar

that's carrying the game. That was suggested to me (living in Virginia) and it worked out well. FOund one a mile from the house.

I remember the days

when I had to go to sports bar to watch the 'Boys play. Then I just decided to hell with it, I'm buying a big screen TV and getting the ticket. Sooner or later you've got to break down.

Oh, the switch

will be made before next season. I'm stuck with Time Warner cable here and since it is also the provider of my cable internet I've stuck with it. But no NFL network and no ability to get Sunday Ticket...that will not be tolerated any longer!

Feeling your pain

All of Oregon has to be Seattle fans according to the league even though I am over 350 miles south and east. Oregon hates Seattle! But at least the Seattle games are competitive lately. Tampa Bay - not so much.

You know

looking at this map http://www.gribblenation.net/nflmaps/13-FOX-L.gif you can tell that if you are in the United States at 4:15 P.M. eastern standard time that there is approximately a 98% chance that you would see Dallas play New York. AGHHHHHH! Hopefully SopCast will save me.
