Ghost of BiB Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I hadn't had a chance to see it yet, turned on NFL Com, and though it's listed as NFL pre-season football, there is a live feed from the Jaguars training camp. No Bills game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were a reporter, what venue would you like to cover? a) Jacksonville, FL. b) Buffalo, NY. c) Kansas City, MO. d) Cincinnati, OH. Be honest.

The homer commentators were remarking that you didn't want to run these big guys around in the heat. If they are going to pull this crap, they shouldn't issue programming guidance.

If you were a reporter, what venue would you like to cover? a) Jacksonville, FL. b) Buffalo, NY. c) Kansas City, MO. d) Cincinnati, OH. Be honest. 410322[/snapback] Definately not c). The Chiefs aren't even there to cover during training camp, their in River Falls, WI. My wife and I had dinner in River Falls (we live about 5 minutes from there), and we were seated right next to five KC players. No idea who they were though... This other family came in and gawked at the players the entire night. They must be used to it though, because they didn't seem to pay it any attention. I was embarassed for the gawking family... Football players are people too! Of course if it was Spikes, Moulds, Fletcher, and McGahee sitting there, maybe I'd think differently... Then again, probably not. *shrug* CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see how they jumped around? I saw at least two punt returns (Bills) and no Bills O? after they came back from the break , the Colts had the ball back??? Just cutting film to fill in time.

Fezmid Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 The lack of respect continues...... 410670[/snapback] Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but did you watch any other preseason games? I'd guess that they cut stuff out from those as well... And if they didn't, the only reason we got cut up was because our game was over 4 hours long if I recall...

bluv Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 How dare they claim to show all the games when they stopped the Bills/Colts game at the start of the 2nd quarter to show BREAKING NEWS of LIVE Titans training camp. First they spent 15-20 minutes talking about about TO; then they show the guys at Titans training camp stretching! And then they cut camp to show some chump walking thru the Titans players parking lot comparing their whips, rides, and wheels. Then they FINALLY come back to the Bills game with 3 minutes left in 3rd quarter and promising to re-air game today at 2. What a load of crock! I actually left work 30 minutes early to watch this game and they pull this stunt? Instead of showing all those replays of Total Access I'm sure they could fit that Titans BS somewhere else in their schedule! They should apologize to eveyrbody for false advertisement and listing; if you are not going to show it don't list it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiew Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I took vacation time to leave work early. Raced home and got there in time to see the Jags. WTF?? So I waited a few minutes, figured I had been screwed and then decided to turn it off and go cut the grass instead. Now you tell me that they showed parts of the Bills Colts game?? Please join me in sending ugly e-mails of complaint to NFL network. That's just not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eating dinner in front of the TV sucks. Having to rush home to watch a show instead of having fun with friends sucks. TiVo fixes all that. It's the 21st century, peoiple.

Networks are allowed to change programming for any reason. For $5/month (if you have DirecTV) or $12/month (if you buy a standalone) or a one-time fee (not sure the amount, standalone only), you can avoid all of it. Isn't your vacation time worth more than $5/month? That's only 16 cents a day!!! CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
