And thanks for the heads up on the $30 rebate. I'll see if it hits my email in 5 to 7 days like they said it would before I call.

[Tr8dervic]

I heard some markets could get ABC (non Disney owned?) But I ain't one of them.

[Tr8dervic]

I love Directvstream too much to get rid of it. Unlimited recording of unlimited channels. As a test I even tried taping 30 different channels at the same time. To my surprise they all taped and played back just fine. Gotta love modern tech.

[MCArmel1]

In the same boat on that one...

interestingly though ESPN is off but ABC is still working and had the game on here tonight. DirecTV is giving a $30.00 credit if you go to tvpromise.com. For some reason when I went it wouldn't register the credit for me but I called that number at the bottom of the page and they took care of it...

[Eli's Gone]

cool...I saw that Direct TV mess

[Tr8dervic]

Fyi, thanks to skysports link you gave me I'm able to watch MNF perfect hd picture and sound. I have directv stream and they are in a contract dispute with Disney so no ABC or ESPN for now. Thank you again.

(Hope it lasts!)

Detroit had more yards on the ground in OT than the Bengals had all game....yikes on the Circa carnage....

[MCArmel1]

That's a great read... thanks!

"That still doesn’t excuse the fact that football fans everywhere feel like they’ve been robbed of an all-time finish. The NFL overtime rules must change in a way that is fair to both offenses involved.

Plus, the league needs to change the rules simply to confuse the 49ers all over again." lol

On the Bengals, $4.9 million dollars worth of survivor entries at Circa went into the toilet from that game! lol

[MCArmel1]

No Doubt!

Man... I sure don't care for the regular season OT rules. The coin toss is so powerful to the outcome!

Go Rams!!! :O)

[Eli's Gone]

Bloody Sunday---brutal

[MCArmel1]

Yikes... got "Bengal'd here too! lol

[Eli's Gone]

awesome...

[Tr8dervic]

Thanks, it's working for me.

[Eli's Gone]

I use this one for all kinds of stuff---it's hosted overseas--I have no problem with it but if they ask for any personal info---leave

[Tr8dervic]

Do you have any free streaming sites for NFL this year?

[Eli's Gone]

Cincy was a disaster across the pools

[Tr8dervic]

Sure is a boatload of us with an opening week loss in the survivor pool.

[Eli's Gone]

Piss poor performance by a top 5 team vs a bottom 5 team---week 1 blues

[excel]

When I turned on game first thing I saw was bengal player throw his body sideways instead of making a fundamental tackle.The RB ran past that for a 1st. Ridiculous. I wouldn't want to be in the film room tomorrow after that high school tackle.

[Eli's Gone]

the end id near 1:44 to go NE just ran for 2 1st downs straight up the gut----the fat lady has sung on the Bengals

[excel]

LOL!

[Eli's Gone]

Finally made a stop---got the ball back with 3 mins to go down 6---"so you say there's a chance"

[MasterBlastr]

LOL me too - at least we are in a 2-strike contest. So we're alive until next week anyway. But CIN just didn't show up or something, I need to hear the autopsy on that one.

[Eli's Gone]

LOL..my survivor and confidence pick---I quit

[excel]

I know it's only halftime but I'm getting my butt KICKED!
Example .............. Bengals haven't even scored. LOL!

[Seminole Red]

agreed, he aint even won a championship

[Eli's Gone]

How early do NFL players get to games?
Most players take the second bus, which departs the hotel three hours before kickoff. The last bus leaves two hours and 15 minutes before kickoff. “Some guys like to get over there early,” Campbell said. “Some guys like to get there later so they're not sitting around for a lot of time.Dec 20, 2023

the only thing faster than Tyreek is the McLaren 720 he was driving today

[Seminole Red]

It puzzles me is why was he even there with 2 1/2 hours before gametime, you would think he should have been there well before he was.....

[excel]

231 million guaranteed. Unreal. I think these guaranteed contracts are a joke. He hasn't come through enough to earn it in the clutches even if I didn't think this way.

The Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott have agreed on a four-year, $240 million contract extension that will make the star quarterback the highest-paid player in NFL history and keep him in a Cowboys uniform for seasons to come, sources told ESPN.

The deal includes $231 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Todd Archer, which is the most in league history. Deshaun Watson's fully guaranteed deal with the Cleveland Browns was worth $230 million.

[Eli's Gone]

Handcuffed on the ground for a moving violation?---look like Nazi storm troopers--what a bunch of BS

[Seminole Red]

WOW...Tyreke Hill arrested on way to game with Jaguars, ala Scottie Sheffler arrested for trying get through traffic....2 hours to game time !!!!!

[MasterBlastr]

Love with grade 1-2 MCL sprain, out 3-6 weeks. GB has no QB3 so they need to make some moves quick.

[MasterBlastr]

Turf wasn't good for football. Love might be questionable for a couple weeks, I'm hearing now.

[Eli's Gone]

and then "Along came Jones" LOL

[Eli's Gone]

Yep--twisted like a pretzel

[Seminole Red]

Barkley wasted years in N.Y.

[MasterBlastr]

Love is lucky he didn't get hurt worse on that play right at the end of the game.

[Eli's Gone]

Silly game---Love throws 2 balls that should have been intercepted, the first a sure pick six--and then hits a 70 yard TD...almost as silly as watching Saquon Barkley score TD's as an Eagle...
