Czuch: are you aware of the "wild card" ... you do not have to win your division to go to the playoffs...

awesome: Yes, I am aware of the wild card, thank you very much

It was meant to be somewhat of a joking post, hence the , I was just making fun of the way the game was being hyped, like nobody knows that both teams really suck, and people are going to tune into the game because there are "playoff implications", just laughing at the way the TV people will say anything they can think up just to make a game they are covering seem more important than it really is

Czuch: I believe they hire them straight from the Ministry of Information and Propaganda. You know, that same department that brought us Weapons of Mass Distruction and Bush Jr's war service record. Television takes them skill, but it pays more than the government jobs and is much more entertaining. Yeah they hype games. Kind of like how NASCAR hypes the chase. BY the way, how is it that the guy with the most points isn't the season champion? Yeah, lets have a re-start in the middle of the season to keep the masses interested. NASCAR has become wrestling. At least wrestling is honest about it. Everyone likes a close finish or game, but if someone has a big lead, they deserve it. Taking it away from them to help the laggers is not very fair. Just imagine if the umpires said, "OK, it's 13-2 that's a big enough lead, you guys only get two outs an inning and we're giving them four until they get within 3 runs." Tony Stewart's outburst earlier in the season about "Fake Cautions" might have been swiftly swept under the rug, but I'd been saying it for a couple of years now. I noticed towards the end of this season the cautions were called a little slower if it was just contact with the wall and the car kept moving. I'm glad the rules that Football changes are for the play of the game and not for the outcome of the final score even if the object of the rules changes is to keep things in balance between defense and offense.

Walter Montego: Agreed.... and channel 212???

Walter Montego: Hey Wally, whats the verdict with direct TV and the NFL channel anyway? Do you get it out there or not?

Puckish: I do not know, Pukish. No "C", see?
I haven't turned the television on in over a week. I'm leaving right now to watch the game at my friend's house with the High Definition Television and NFL package.

Walter Montego: Should be a good game! Who do you think will win?

rednaz23: I have thought that the Packers have been over rated and won some games while playing poorly, and I would be surprised to see them in this game near the end, although they have looked much better the past two weeks to me, and i think they have bought into their record, so just maybe they have a chance?

rednaz23: I was rooting for Green Bay, still am, but the Cowboys won. The officiating seem to have missed a few calls, but the game was a pretty good one. Green Bay's backup quarterback did a pretty decent job after Favre got hurt. Him being able to run always changes things. A few people didn't like Harris' job on defense, though he got the lucky interception when Owens had it pop out of his hand in the endzone. That kept Green Bay alive at the end of the game. That call early in the game with forward progress and disallowing the interception and even calling it a complete made a difference. And what happened third and 19? Dallas got the first down and things weren't looking so good for Green Bay after that. Dallas was stunned with that run for a touchdown right up the middle, but they answered back so fast it hardly seemed to matter.

Puckish: I learned tonight that there is two different NFL networks. One is this channel 212 you keep talking about, but on Ruben's Dish Satelite it was a different channel. I think 154. The NFL package is something completely different. It is a type of pay-per-view television that let's you watch every NFL game that is played. Ruben does not have that. Now here's a question for you. Why was tonight's game not on regular over the air broadcast television?

Puckish: Sorry wally, no "ter" see?

Whats the big beef anyway? Just because you went on and on about not getting the game etc... now you dont want to admit that you already get this channel???

Im just curious if it is the same nation wide or not?

Anyway, have fun at your buddies house.....

Czuch: the Jags are 7-3 ..I'd suggest doing some research before saying that a team sucks....

awesome: sorry, my bad

Czuch: no problem...we are just not all as fortunate to have the Pats to follow...

awesome: well, believe me, it was not that long ago that the Pats sucked and your niners were the elite team in the NFL, but I never once wished i was a niners fan or complained that I had to watch their games

Czuch:
once again...I grew up in Buffalo... I'm a Bills fan and only a Bills fan...Super Bowl losses and all !!!!

awesome: Thats why you wanted to trade with Jim.... again my bad.

Well at least you dont have to travel an hour away to find a sports bar with the NFL package
