lslmustang Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I mentioned I have Direct TV just to get the NFL Network to TW at the Home and Garden show a couple of weeks ago. Before I switched, I wrote every month requested NFL Network and when I shut off the cable, and they tried to offer a deal... I said you can't offer NFL Network so nothing will get me back until it's offered. I've been very happy with Direct TV although I miss On Demand, I love my NFL Network. There are other channels only on Direct TV I like as well so TW won't see me as a customer any time soon... PS - My sister-in-law works there but she's not involved with that stuff but she hears it too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Since I do not live in Cincy, I got DirecTV for NFL Sunday Ticket. But even if I moved back to Cincinnati, I would stay with DirecTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yojimbo Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 time warner wants to put the NFL package in their sports tier, so that more people will shell out more money. NFL says "no deal." Thats the stalemate. They know the demand for NFL, they arent stupid. They are just trying to jack the customer, as usual. They are shooting themselves in the foot though because customers aren't coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just too hard to swallow TW's line about not wanting to pass the cost on to their customers. Especially when they jack our rates every few months without adding content. Bastards. It's apparant that their customers pockets are not their concern. They see a goose 'o golden eggs, and they want to milk it for all it's worth. If it wasn't for On Demand I would already be a DTV customer. My fiance is a total on demand addict, and trying to convince her to give it up for NFLN just aint flying. I tried the "it's cheaper" route, but she doesn't give a shit. NFLN just isn't worth domestic strife, so I wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbengal Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 [quote name='Jason' post='461335' date='Mar 23 2007, 01:09 PM']Since I do not live in Cincy, I got DirecTV for NFL Sunday Ticket. But even if I moved back to Cincinnati, I would stay with DirecTV.[/quote] I get DirecTV for Sunday Ticket also - I can pretty much get every game, every week. Living in Dallas, the 'Boys are usually sold out anyway, so they're on local TV. I had been considering switching to Verizon FIOS (TV over fiber) - the picture is great, and bad weather won't knock out reception (we have some bad rainstorms here sometimes, and the satellite transmission can be affected). But Verizon doesn't offer Sunday Ticket, although they do offer NFL Network. Programming pricing is about the same, but Verizon offers a little more, channel-wise, and I think the picture (DirecTV is good, but FIOS is even better). You can suspend DirecTV service for 9 months at no cost - I'm considering that, until pre-season football starts up in August. Then, I'd turn up Sunday Ticket and DirecTV at the lowest programming package, and pay for both during the football season. It'd be about $200 extra for 4 months, not including the NFL Sunday ticket, which I'll get regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] DirecTV + Slingbox = So far this has been nothing exciting... Whining about arrests, replacing Steiny, Tory, Simmons, KK.... blah blah blah Willie's on after the commercial. Let's hope he has something to say worth tuning in for. edit: no such luck... A few of us here could have put together a better summary of what's up this offseason. Only piece of insight is that the Bengals are looking at Leon Hall @ 18. Or Griffin from TX. I am thankful for the heads-up that this show was on (thanks, Jason), but boy it turned out to be much ado about nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Tigers Johnson| Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Solomon Wilcots said if Patrick Willis is gone we should draft Leon Hall because he impressed with his speed in the 40 or Michael Griffin because he is the best all around athlete at safety, and that he is a good tackler.

I would not at all be disappointed to see that kind of tackling in our secondary for the next decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few tackles in here where he comes flying in instead of wrapping up, but plenty where he drives the ball carrier backwards and wraps up tight. I am becoming a fan, quickly.

I wonder if they could trade down to around #23 and still get him. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
