:dunno:

Exactly. Things are so boring when the Saints aren't doing anything. That just shows how much we need the Saints

If the Hornets would win something it would make the summer more bearable

Congrats to the Saints.....it'll give Patrick Willis one more week of practice to gel with the Saints.

I swear I was not trying to impose on a thread with my comments, but I don't know where thewyrm is from but around here everybody is switching to DirecTv. When we came back after the storm if you didn't have DirecTv then you did not have TV at all for about 2-3 months. They must have upgraded the satellites because mine never goes out, even in thunderstorms. Cable tried to strong arm everybody for too long and now they are paying the price for that by losing subscribers. This stuff they are doing with the local networks, trying to strong arm them also is just driving people away. Here is a good example of what I am talking about. In St.Tammany parish, Charter does not carry the NFL network because they say NFL network wants to charge them too much to carry it. That is ridiculous when you think about it. First, with the amount they are charging for cable packages there is no way that carrying the NFL network would hurt them. Secondly, how bout getting rid of about 10-20 bs channels that they are cramming down everyones throat and use that money to carry something everybody wants? If you have cable you know there are about 25 channels of infomercials and spanish and just bs stuff. Believe me, with the way satellite is set up and the freedom it allows the customer along with the exclusive programming which is not leaving any time soon, it is just a matter of time before the only reason you will have cable is for internet service. Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with satellite or DirecTv in any way other than a happy subscriber of 9 years. Also, I think it is great that the Saints get the first game of the year. This makes our wait a little less and I have allways wanted to visit the HOF so this gives me the best oppourtunity I probably will ever have.

So basically it's a game that none of us get to see...

The NFL can kiss my butt...

Some of us get to see

I think someone beat you to it, DR.

But still it is good news to me anyway

Saints-Steelers Hall of Fame Game - August 5th

4 page thread about 1/2 way down

 

[JackT.]

DR got beat. Wow, that doesn't happen too often. But back to the subject, good thing. get 5 games in the preseason to evaluate talent.

Dude the numbers of cable users to sat. users is mind boggling. DirecTV only has around 750,000 subscribers. Dish Network probably has more, but they can't have more than a few million. Cable's numbers are 10 times that. To think sat. will take the place of cable is just wishful thinking.

Is this a thread on the HOF game in Canton or a thread about NFL Network / cable / satellite?

 

[HannibalSpector]

I'm not too thrilled. I hate that extra preseason game, 4 is already pushing it. Makes me nervous with injuries, etc. Last year, we really could have used it. They should put two teams with new head coaches in it each year, they need it the most. However, I know nobody wants to watch Oakland-Arizona compared to Saints-Steelers.

 

[blackngoldmember]

in my area verizon is challenging cox cable and getting into the cable game. i seriously doubt they would waste their time if cable was on its way out.

Awesome, my bestest buddy is a Steelers fan, can't wait for a little revenge!

my girlfriend is a steelers fan. that is hard.

 

[cruize]

Hooorraaah DirecTV.

The NFL Network is on Satelite and IMO satelite TV is better and cheaper than cable.

I hope nobody's seriously considering buying a dish so they can see a pre-season game.

Wait, this isn't even pre-season -- it's PRE-pre-season.

Unless your name is Jason Fife Sr., I'd just wait for Week Two, when the really good, high-quality exhibition football begins.

if you are a saints fan, you do what you have to do. it's the SAINTS!
