  • ESPN to televise playoff game

    An NFL playoff game will not be on network television. I know cable is everywhere now, and if you don't have cable, you can go to any local bar, and it's there. But personally, I don't like this step. Where I am, ESPN is on the next tier of service from our cable company, and that's an extra $30 per month we don't want to spend. And I don't like watching games at a bar. It's uncomfortable, loud, and I can't focus in on the game. All I can do now is hope that the Packers aren't in this game and instead get the first round bye or a network game.

    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    According to ESPN, the wild card game “will be simulcast on over the air stations in the primary markets of the participating teams.”

    - you'll still be OK in the primary market. How much of WI is the primary market? Still includes both Milwaukee and Madison, I presume.

    Out of market, you're *ucked

      Oh goody.

      I now have to investigate how much it would cost to use the computer to delay the radio broadcast to sync to the TV.
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        I'd expect it's like other ESPN Monday night games which only get broadcast in Milwaukee and Green Bay. Madison is out of luck.

            DANG........I WANTED TO BREAK THIS STORY.........as........CHUCKY UNLEASHED

            He's still about the most entertaining guy out there who adds a lot to the telecast...although he's also widely detested in here

            Rich Ganon form NFL Network noted Chucky is the hardest working announcer in the business. The dude hires his own assistant during the week........wonder it it's a hot blonde.......lol

                When Google gets control of NFL Packages and playoff game

                  I don't. I'll just steal it if I want to watch it.

                      Not a Chucky fan, me. He's all show no go.
