BillsFan-4-Ever Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 With a DVR who cares. If one game runs late and you need to see both, record the start of the other one
Billsrhody Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 10 more minutes of commercials so the TV revenue can increase in coming years ... sweet. Or 10 minutes of the overtime game from 1 o'clock that wont get cut off by the local broadcast!
KD in CA Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 With a DVR who cares. If one game runs late and you need to see both, record the start of the other one What if the games are on the same channel?
San Jose Bills Fan Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Thanks man. Also, to toot my own horn, it's good that I owned up to being wrong! It rarely happens on message boards Kudos to you for owning up to being wrong. Also, kudos to me for not reveling in your wrongness and for being gentle when raising the possibility of an error on your part. Also kudos to the others for not interfering with our dialogue. Basically, kudos for every !@#$ing person!

Just Jack Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Also kudos to the others for not interfering with our dialogue. Basically, kudos for every !@#$ing person! even me?
San Jose Bills Fan Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 even me? Kudos to you also… but a de-merit for being "ticket forgetful." Also I find your avatar to be disconcertingly threatening. But I will trade kudos for your word that you're not in any way trying to threaten me.

But I will trade kudos for your word that you're not in any way trying to threaten me. It was only one time I forgot my tickets in the past 12 years of having seasons. And my avatar is the "I lift things up and put them down" guy from the Planet Fitness commercial.

Makes you think about the days before there was a plan B for lost/forgotten tickets.
Just Jack Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Makes you think about the days before there was a plan B for lost/forgotten tickets. I remember the policy. Go to ticket office, purchase new tickets, then mail them the originals and they would refund the purchase.
shoretalk Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Does this change apply to all late (4pm) games on Sunday Afternoon? If so, its probably a good change. It reduces the number of times the networks cut away from an early game to accomodate the start of a later game. At the same time, those games that start at 4:25 should end before seven o’clock. Which means I won’t have to miss any of NBC’s “Football Night in America” which I really enjoy. No it just applies to the "national" games each week. Those being broadcast only in 'local markets' will still have a 4pm start time. With the NFL adding more and more commercials for our viewing pleasure, I think all of the late games should start at 4:30. This would prevent having to miss the end of some games in order to watch the start of others. It is now so rare to have a game stay under 3 hours ... miss the good old days. Just hope that by the time we are playing out west our record merits the Bills being 'national' games!
San Jose Bills Fan Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I remember the policy. Go to ticket office, purchase new tickets, then mail them the originals and they would refund the purchase. Amazing. Not exactly fan friendly. Great to know how much some customer service things have improved. Some retailers don't even require a receipt for a refund anymore.
CowgirlsFan Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Good!! This way I can leave the Bills Backers Cafe and get to my sister's house in time to watch our team play. Or get home in time for the 2nd qtr rather than at the half.

The sad thing is that the commercials are always the same: its always the same Viagra commercial and the same Beer commercials. That's why I usually prefer to go to the BBC than watching it online or on one of the 3-4 times they're on TV down here.

The breaks are all still the same but I don't have to repeatedly sit through commercials of old people getting ready to do it, being continually bombarded with the benefits of the cold activated can, and don't have to sit through promos for whatever CBS's newest destined to crash and burn shows are.

Yeah, I've only gone to one game when my Aunt was getting married up in Buffalo. It was the Broncos home/season opener but I was only 8 so I didn't really get the full experience of it. It was still pretty cool, though. My group sat on the very top and you could see everything, both inside the stadium and out: like my grandpas house, Lake Erie, the play where Losman (?) fumbled it and then kicked it out of bounds, (sadly) Everett getting injured, and even the last play where the Broncos rushed the kicking unit on and everybody else off but that's where the coolness ended since the kick went through the uprights.

Some retailers don't even require a receipt for a refund anymore. Well that was before the barcode scanners. So you could say you lost/forgot your tickets, purchase replacements, then sell those to a scalper or give them to friends to get in. So there could be multiple people trying to use the same seat, since at the gate they would just rip off the stub.

On a barely related subject, I was saying in the other thread that I've resisted getting a smart phone but one of the really cool iPhone apps I've seen is that one where you can use your iPhone to scan a UPC and it'll tell you what that product is selling for at different retailers.
