Ravens/Steelers game postponed

during nightly news last night nbc got blacked out on directv fucking assholes
You must be in a market where Tegna owns the station. It's a constant battle with big station owners like Tegna and NexStar trying to get max $$$ out of DirecTV and Spectrum. With the result your satellite or cable bill is constantly going up into the stratosphere. My D* bill is up to $160 a month, and my only indulgence is $12 bucks for STO, so I can catch Browns Red Zone and the Cavs games.
Some thoughts.. 1) It's little wonder streaming services are booming, they're way cheaper, if you're not too picky on Channel availability.
2) DirecTV rant: Not surprised AT&T is trying to sell them off. It's their MO, buy a thriving company and ruin them. I used to own Direct stock, dumped it the second I got wind AT&T was going to buy them. If they didn't have the exclusive rights to Sunday ticket, I'd be a former customer. A little factoid- 20% of your Direct bill goes to ESPN.
Regarding your blackout, for every problem there is a solution. If you're not way out in the boondocks, get an amplified antenna, and plug it directly into your TV. Oh, and Direct doesn't advertise it, but you can request a black box that connects to your receiver via a SATA cable, attach the antenna to that, and program the reciever to recognize local OTA channels.
That works with a HR-54 or lower, can't vouch if it's available on the new Genie2s.

Oh, it's fair.?
It is fair... and moreover although I wrote "cancel", what I meant to say was "forfeit".

I’m glad that Haden hangs onto interceptions at this point in his career and got all the drops out of his system with us.
-
lol... but RG3 still has pick 6's to burn.
I see someone else is watching...
What a turd so far. Most of the players look to be into this game as much as I am. **yawn**

Just watched the first half highlights.
Those were two of the worst INT's I've seen in a long time (Outside of Baker's to Fitz)
The more I see Joe Haden play at a competent level (Although Gip could have made that INT), the more I don't like the guy. Dude was mailing it in the last two years here collecting a paycheck and giving himself concussions and adderall. When he got burnt in that Cardinals game and fell down and gave himself a concussion....

he’s been catching everything past couple years makes me sick.
I was on a zoom call during the play with the game on my other screen and I said “you have got to be kidding me” thankfully I was on mute but my co-worker told me - you are on mute I couldn’t hear you. Another knew I was watching the game too said “you are Browns fan why are you watching that trash.”
i said I know.
every week my group has a comment about the surprising Browns (good comments)

Bud Dupree okay??? Didn’t look good but apparently he walked off

Dupree Is going to be out- non contact injury didn’t look good

Precisely that was a gift to Pittsburgh because I don’t think he made it but they gave it to him.

Atom, the reason Direct's customer service sucks big time now- is when AT&T took them over- they fired around 70% of their CSRs. Now they have maroons looking at their computer screens for problem solutions. Did you reboot your receiver? Dumb shit I've already tried. Fortunately-a few years back I was having so many technical problems one of the CSRs gave me the direct line to high level tech support. The few guys left who actually are capable of dealing with non-mundane difficulties, and not having to go through some bozo first. # still works too- I had to use it a couple months ago when I wanted to add 4k capability.
PS- I've heard rumors the long term plan for Direct is eventually to go to a streaming model. Far cheaper outlay than sending up another satellite when one conks out... Also- though it's been kept pretty quiet- service providers like Spectrum (and others) are supposedly suing Direct and the NFL over the exclusivity contract on Sunday Ticket. The exclusivity makes no sense- when you can offer that service to way more fans that way.

OBJ walked off too, but those type injuries almost always turn out to be ACLs.

While that was a win for the Steelers, they were wholly unimpressive. This game should have been a wipeout for them.. given that the Rats were down to their 3rd string QB. But it came down to the wire, and it took a ref's gift to seal it for them. The good thing is that it helps us.

if they still have the ticket next year make sure to threaten to cancel in the spring so you can get the ticket for free

Hawkins, also... and there was a report that Buggs was on it as well, although he's not listed on the team site.
Meanwhile on the eve of the thrice postponed game two more Ravens tested positive, one player and one staffer. Neither got on the plane to PTG tonite. However...
The player reportedly is Geno Stone (S). He was at their last walkthrough albeit reportedly "distanced".
Another round of tests is scheduled for tomorrow.
At this point I don't now what more the NFL needs to cancel this game. I can only guess they don't want an asterisk next to the potentially 2nd "prefect season" in league history.
I'll try to dig up the OpEd piece I saw addressing this. Forcing the Ravens to play this game with major playoff implications for them seriously short handed is a joke.
We'd be screaming to high heaven NO FAIR!! If it was the Browns instead.

The Ravens made that bed and they need to lay in it. The Steelers got fucked and frankly came out flat today because of it. We also lost bud dupree for the year which sucks even more. The league bent over backwards to reschedule this game and royally fucked any sort of prep routine for the far less infected Pittsburgh steelers. Playoff implications or not it got pushed three times, it had to get played or the Ravens should have forfeited. My two cents right or wrong.
