NFL Preseason/Training Camp/Disrespect 2015 |OT2| - Second verse same as the first
- Thread starter chuckddd
- Start date
Its not a typical 3rd string QB. Developmental project who has shown a ton of growth. PS stash he will be signed by someone pretty quick.
It is either IR or 53 man roster. If he is out for an extended period just put him on IR then.
So this is my first time watching football after cord cutting, can someone give me a rundown on what games I'll be able to get over the air and what I'll miss out on? I mostly care about Iggles games, so from what I understand I should be covered since I get NBC, CBS and Fox with my new antenna. Monday/Thursday Night Football are nationally broadcast, right? So I should be able to get these games too? Is the only thing I'll miss out on is non-local Sunday games?
I forgot who you root for.
Kraft accepted the punishment, that's an implicit admission of guilt. I don't have to prove jackshit.
Let's say you get a speeding ticket. Cop was wrong his radar was miscalibrated or something. Instead of appealing this you accept the punishment and pay the fine. As far as your record is concerned you committed the crime of speeding whether or not you try to argue that after the punishment. You very well could be innocent, but by not fighting it you are implicitly admitting guilt and it explicitly reflects on your record.
Same applies to Pats. Are they innocent? Not in the eyes of the NFL. Why didn't Kraft appeal? Was it not rocking the boat or did he know he didn't have a leg to stand on? Nobody really knows. What we do know is they accepted it and were punished.
Everything else doesn't matter, simply because it will not be ruled on beyond that. Sorry to bum you out.

Wow, the Giants cut Steve Weatherford. Coughlin was kidding when he said he wasn't happy with the quality of Weatherfords work in the preseason.
That's what the Brad Wing trade is for.
EDIT: On a personal note, that sucks. Weatherford has been very good for us for a number of years and while his play has declined a bit, it sucks to see such a good guy released. I follow him on Twitter and he's a funny dude. Any team will be lucky to have him in their locker room.

Brady Ruling Costs Jimmy Garoppolo 3-Year, $35 Million Contract With Browns Next Season
Yeah, but I haven't seen 800 lifelongs crawl out of the gaf woodwork to defend them and argue the minutiae.

Monday Night Football is on ESPN, so unless you have access to WatchESPN you're toast. Some Thursday night football games were on CBS last year, but most, especially in the latter half of the year were broadcast on NFL Network. You don't even need an antennae to watch the Sunday Night Football as they'll be available for streaming on NBC's sports site. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong about the Thursday night stuff, it may have changed or I may be remembering incorrectly.
I think comparing the situations is a bit disingenuous. Most of the other suspensions that were vacated or reduced had criminal connections. Also, Tom Brady is one of the better known NFL players for non-sports fans, a player like TJ Ward wouldn't even get an Off Topic Thread on GAF about it.
Edit: as far as I recall, the Ray Rice thread on GAF was pretty toxic and had some serious back and forth.
I get it, but it's definitely an IR situation, if anything. It's insane to think of keeping someone like that around on an active NFL roster.

Eagles released Moffit, Mihalik, and Bailey. Hope Rasheed Bailey clears waivers and makes the practice squad.
Agreed (First time we have ever agreed). I think they are waiting for a confirmed diagnosis before making a decision.
Oh shit, I forgot ESPN had the rights to MNF... My girlfriend's parents have a robust sports cable package, I imagine I could get WatchESPN login info from her.
In any case, am I still barred from local team MNF/TNF games too? For instance, the Eagles first game is against the Falcons on Monday the 14th. Will this be locally broadcast along with any other TNF/MNF games they play in?
Brad Wing looked pretty good this preseason and was neck and neck with another Aussie, Jordan Berry. Had a rough go year last year, where he was a bit inconsistent. Big leg, but not as bulked up as Weatherford.
For a second there, I thought we were going to have an adult conversation. I should know better.

Traditionally, yes they are at least here in Houston. Would imagine it is the same scenario everywhere else
Doubtful. The only local TV broadcasts are during Preseason games. They're not like the MLB and NBA where that can happen.
Edit: I don't know how it works in Philly.

Giants saved nearly 3 million cutting Weatherford. So there's that.
Still the best....

MNF game last year vs Steelers was broadcast locally here on the ABC affiliate
Wow, that's super shitty. Crossing my fingers I can find someone I know with a WatchESPN account.
Greg Mancz. Yeah he sucks and had issues with the snap in previous games.

I guess people care more about a big name player like Brady getting suspended. I know I care more about players on my team getting suspended than players on other teams.
Must be a lot of patriot fans on gaf.
I live in Charlotte and I don't remember Panthers games getting that treatment.
Then again I never really looked so maybe I'm wrong?

Yep, I'll miss him.

4 year cycle of getting hot at the end, win in Overtime of NFCC....
After all our arguing over Kubes and how much he sucks, i'm hurt.
The FCC requires by law the games to be aired on local channels if your team is on national tv like ESPN or NFL Network.
Soooo I may not be screwed out of MNF/TNF Eagles games living in Philly?
I think he missed a tackle that lead to a big cowboy gain last night?
nope. They should be on ABC, NBC, CBS or FOX. Most likely whatever channel your preseason games are on.

Do you have SlingTV? They carry ESPN.

I forget what local channel they are on actually. For some reason I want to say PHL17 but I don't think that's right.
Damn was hoping Moffit would work out since our O line depth is pretty shit

I think Malcolm Bunche played far better than him in every way. If they keep Bunche over Moffit I'll be happy. The kid is a rookie and I think he has a bright future, and even potential at tackle.

How to watch football without cable:
Thursday games are all broadcast on CBS now. All of them.
Sunday afternoon you will get two games. You will either get your local game and one national or the two nationals. Sunday Night Football will be OTA on NBC.
Monday Night Football is all you're going to miss out on, regardless of what team you want to watch. It's only on ESPN. Get some logins from someone (They don't care if you share. I've been sharing for years.) and watch it on WatchESPN. Don't try to use your cell phone, because there are device restrictions. I like to use the Xbox One. I've used the Roku and the Apple TV before as well.
Or, if it's a MNF game you actually want to watch, grab a 12 pack and go to a buddy's house.

I got Sunday Ticket for free last year, since I was a new subscriber, and this year I called and explained my situation to them and told them I was going to break my contract early and just pay the penalty, and they gave me another year of Sunday Ticket free and also threw in free NFL network. I couldnt believe it.

Eh I can afford it.
Yeah I've gotten it free/discounted before. They are pretty nice about it.
