    hey ya Perkdog…

    could it be possible if other members here on the forum that do not have the Amazon Prime gig could hang out at your house on Thursday Nights for football ???

    and too, what about a trade night before and/or after Thursday night football ??? To where us members could bring over are priceless cardboard & memorabilia and have a trade night ???

    I don’t think that pre-game dinner would be an issue either; I would be more that willing to man the grill…

    or even a mini raffle going at the end of each quarter…

    We could call it...

    Looks like Netflix is getting the Christmas Day games going forward.
    The two matchups for 2024 include the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs at the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 p.m. ET and an AFC divisional round rematch between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans at 4:30 p.m. ET.

    It's all about the bidding by the Networks for the TV contracts with the NFL and continues with the amount of money that the bidders know they can get from advertising. It has nothing to do with how much it aggravates @perkdog or @Maywood, there are clearly enough viewers on those platforms that they don't need the few/many who won't watch. FWIW, I have both Netflix and Prime.

    If worse comes to worse and someone really wants to watch a game, just go sit at the neighborhood bar and nurse a six-pack and some wings.

    Apparently in the past the nfl had said they wouldn’t play on Wednesday. So Christmas is on Wednesday and guess what……. Game on! I think Goodell would push a little girl out of the way if he spotted a dollar bill on the ground and she was about to pick it up.

    If it ain't on free,
    It ain't for me.

    in a way, this makes me glad Tommy is now retired. I was able to watch about 99% of his career games. I think I only missed 2 or 3 for his entire career. I am afraid this is just the beginning of the PPV sports trend. I LOVE to watch the NFL, but I HAD to watch Tommys games. now a days, if I miss a game here and there I will survive.

    After Directtv did not renew the NFL ticket last year I watched less football then I have in the last 25 years, and 25 years ago was the 1st year I ordered NFL sunday ticket. I did not miss anything last year not watching the Dolphins vs Chiefs game wild card round, now this year I will not be watching football on Xmas day, and I will not order You tube NFL package, looks like for me anyway baseball has taken over football as my go to sport, the way it use to be back in the 70's and 80's, for me anyway.

    Exactly right, and frankly, the money that companies pay to advertise, etc, of course is factored into the cost of the products we buy. They and the NFL make big money off it anyway even when broadcast for free. That should be good enough in my view, not trying to draw blood from a stone for crying out loud.

    I've read where around 2/3 of American families are living paycheck to paycheck. All they ask is for some football entertainment at no extra cost in their lives.

    Well the greedy bastiges in the NFL and media won't get a red cent from me. Frankly, I enjoy the free radio broadcast almost as much as the video anyway.

    I'd like to know why those two fans were there?

    Did they mistakenly think it was going to be a Rolling Stones concert, and wanted to get there early?
