Note on watching Packers-Cowboys game
Last week, we gave you a heads-up on the Green Bay at Dallas game on Thursday night, sounding the alarm that you might have to make special arrangements to see it. Because it's being broadcast by NFL Network, it won't be carried on over-the-air or on standard cable TV in many areas (we won't bore you with the details of the battle between the league and the major cable players).
That's all still true but some folks thought we should have mentioned that viewers with enhanced cable packages will be able to receive the game at home -- and that is certainly true. Also, folks with satellite TV can get the game and apparently those with Verizon's TV service, although it's not available where I live.
But the original point remains the same. We've gotten used to the practice that these off-Sunday NFL games -- Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays -- are usually on the old legacy networks or ESPN that you can get with a standard cable package, which will not be the case with the important showdown between the NFC's two 10-1 teams. So, again, be aware of that. Just a public service we're trying to provide. One more thing -- someone asked if it's on radio. We don't know, but we're going to check. If someone does have that info, feel free to let us know.

If you fly to Dallas or Wisconsin. Then you can find it on 133 Radio Stations. :)

I suspect the best chance to catch this game in this area will be 980 AM.

Somewhat unrelated comment, but I wonder if the new baseball network will have as much trouble getting on cable lineups as The NFL Network is having. Knowing how the cable companies operate, my gut tells me yes.

Steve,
I have to do a little more research but I believe that there is some cable partnership involved in the MLB network that will avoid a similar problem.

Big Money is the problem, we need to get back to who supports the team and it's not big money - it's the fans !!!

Richard,
The fans are the ones getting knocked back and forth like a badminton bird.

Not only is it hard to find the game, the coverage is pathetic!
