Thankgiving Day Game in Philly

[abomb]

The only aspect I don't like is the rule that requires no TV competition to the game when the Cardinals are at home which can sometimes reduce the number of games broadcast (when the Cardinals are on the non-double header channel).

Why?

I live in Cleveland, and they are going to broadcast the Browns vs. Broncos game on local TV thursday. I don't know if its different there.

Bryant Gumbel, mercifully, stepped down as a NFLN announcer. Does anyone know the new announcing team?

What I miss most on Thnaksgiving is the 8 legged John Madden Turkey.

I'll be at the game...hope Madden gives me some of that turkey bird.

I'm pretty sure that last year's NFLN only games were shown on the Cox High-Def channel even if you didn't have NFLN package...

So, if you have HD base subscription, I think you'll be able to see the game on NFLN...

You mean, Turducken!

A chicken, stuffed inside a duck, stuffed inside a turkey.

Yum!

Why?

It doesn't impact me, personally, since I never miss a home game, but for those people who don't have Sunday Ticket, if our home game is on the non-double header network, then the network with the double header is not allowed to show an afternoon game. This means that for an entire Sunday, there are only three games shown. One at 10/11 am, the Cardinals game and the Sunday nighter while most of the rest of the country gets two afternoon games.

Assuming you already knew the details, it means nothing to someone who has no DVR, but if time shifting is something you do, the more games the better.

I'm fine with it. The Cardinals game should be the only game in town while it is played.
