That map chops off a solid chunk of northern WI and gives it to the Vikings. It has been that way for a few years now. I have many friends and relatives who are livid, as they are no longer able to see Packer games. On cable they previously were able to get the games, bot not under the current licenses. It makes no sense, because it is and always has been solid Packer territory.
Who can these fans complain to?Originally Posted by Patler
It's because their stations come out of Duluth.
Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

It's a bit more complicated than that. Their "over the air" major network TV has ALWAYS come from Duluth, but since cable TV first came into the area in the mid-1960s, the cable provider also carried more southern stations (Wausau, Eau Claire. Green Bay, etc.) in addition to the Duluth stations. As a result, the northern WI counties always had Packer games available to them, WI state news, etc.
However, a couple years ago the NFL apparently revised their rules to prohibit importing conflicting same-network games into the Designated Market Area (DMA) of another station. The FCC then included northern WI in the DMAs of the Duluth stations. The result is that whenever the Vikings and Packers play at the same time, the cable provider can not carry the WI channel. Some of these people have had Packer games available to them for 50 years; but now, because of rules changes, they miss a lot of games. For the most part, they have also lost WI based news, as I understand it.
The NFL has provided a solution for Packer games, individuals can subscribe to the NFL Ticket Package for $250.
At least, that is the way it has been explained to me.

Damn elitist Duluthians! Forcing their TV on Good Normal Packer fans.
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
Any word on Shields??? East coast fans want to know
Today at PC McCarthy said he is doing better (supposedly saw a specialist this week) but no timetable. Reading the tea leaves, that probably means not this week.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Nobody's said much at all about Datone's injury. Any word on what and how serious? Anything?
Is Burnett going to be out this week, too? I wonder if Mikey-Mike is going to withhold him, Jones, Buion, and Matthews so they all get two weeks to heal.

He and Guion were sporting knee braces and were apparently practicing today.

Geez, is it time to change my avatar again...
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

DEFENSE! DEFENSE! DEFENSE!

And Pennel comes back in two weeks. Probably bringing Shields with him. Elliot and Hyde are back this week.

Well, they'll need all defensive hands on deck so they can, like New England, win with under 300 yards of total offense, the difference the Packers will be doing so with their All-World QB.
I know I sound a little bitter right now. All the more reason for Rodgers and this offense to get back on track, so everyone can tell me "I told you so."

So that's not happening - with Burnett, Shields and Mathews ruled out, plus Guion and Jones listed as doubtful, that's 4 starters and a primary backup the defense is likely to be without.
At ROLB the next player on the depth chart is Fackrell. I haven't noticed him on the field during the regular season.

Imagine for a moment a world without hypothetical situations...
Fackrell's played about 5-10 snaps per game.

Also, #Packers have downgraded DT Letroy Guion (knee) and OLB/DE Datone Jones (knee) to DOUBTFUL. Hihgly unlikely they'll play, either.
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
Packers S Morgan Burnett (groin) and LB Clay Matthews (ankle/hamstring) have been ruled out for Sunday vs Detroit. http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=2...924367651832-4 …

that's a kick in the groin.
Fuck Hades and his 4 inch cock, the Claymaker sure is injury-prone as an OLB. Missed only a few snaps playing ILB last season.
Hope we see more Pepper trm than Fucker or is it Fackrell?
Watch out for my dawg, K-Brice. He's gonna shine.
I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel.
Lowry coming out time.
