Thanks. But you didn’t answer my question. What do they show?
“Thanks. But you didn’t answer my question. What do they show?”
Oh, sorry. :)
I have no clue, I’m too cheap to buy that junk.
Sorry if I misled you. I don’t buy cable premiums. If the Buckeyes or Browns are on TV, I watch, if not, I go do something else.
Every Tuesday/Wednesday the NFLNetwork will show 5 of the prior weekends games with all the breaks cut out entirely. I.e. you’ll see a game in an hour or so.
They also show a lot of old games and historical games. They run in-deapth shows on teams from the past and recent past. They’ll cover team X’s entire last season. They’ll do a show on Superbowl 35s winner and it’s season leading up to the win.
They also do cheerleader tryouts in the off season. They cover the draft entirely. They also have a lot of offseason shows pertaining to the upcoming draft.
They also do fantasy NFl shows to. I’m not sure what channel I saw it on, but I watched a show on the Madden08 USA tourneyment where the best gamers get teamed with a pro player from the team they represent; and then the gamers face off in elimination type games of Madden08.
They do shows like ESPN-like shows dealing strictly with the NFL. Some shows will cover college ball too, I think. They have a lot of commentary and post game type shows.
By and large they show commercials. Basically when you get one of the “ticket” packages you’re just getting access to the “local” broadcasts of the rest of the league. With something like the NFL where those broadcasts are controlled by national networks you’ll get all the national commercials plus the “local” for whatever cities broadcast your watching. For everybody else you’re feeding from pure local feeds so you’ll get pure local commercials. It’s a lot like the old days of “super channels” on cable, living in Tucson I’d turn on WGN and get Chicago commercials. Of course NFL’s Sunday Ticket also includes other additional broadcasts like hilights on demand, given that they have a small number of games happening in small windows broadcast by few providers they have a lot more control over the situation.
