Packers vs. Cowboys and NFL Network
Green Bay Packer games are a very big deal ’round these parts. As a die hard Packer fan, it’s rare for me to miss a game on T.V. The only game I haven’t watched was when we played the Kansas City Chiefs. I listened to it on the radio, however, and that was very exciting. Using my ears to hear each play, and imagining the players making a touchdown was very cool. I now understand why my father prefers to listen to the Brewers games on the radio.
But tonight, the Packers head to Dallas to play the Cowboys and the game is being aired on the NFL Network, a channel our cable company does not offer in it’s lineup. To get the NFL Network, we’d need to subscribe to Direct TV or another satellite company, something we do not plan to do.
Many people are upset about not being able to watch the game. I understand why. I don’t want to miss it either. But I started to laugh when I saw the front page of yesterday’s local newspaper that listed all the local bars that would have the game on T.V.
I was tempted to get a babysitter and head to the nearby bowling alley just to see the game. But then a television channel in Green Bay, Channel 5, bought the rights to the game and, YAY!! We get to watch Green Bay kick some Cowboy butt!
So, yeah…I’m a little excited about this, can you tell?

Yeah, I was just telling the hubs this morning how I heard on the radio that we are NOT watching the game.
Like, the NFL doesn’t have enough money or anything.
Still, glad you’re going to get a gander at some Cowboy butts…kicked!

My husband switched us from cable to a dish last year. We had a low introductory rate and free HBO on our cable so I wondered why he’d give it up until I found out it was to get The NFL channel. He loves the NFL channel. And, I feel sort of obligated to mention, he’s actually going to that game tonight.

Well, I just got home from work and all the newscasts are saying we won’t be able to see it if we don’t live IN Green Bay. Bah Hum Bug. We’ll see what happens.

I will not let my hubby read this post. I have him convinced that no wife, ANYWHERE, loves football.

Wha??? Really?
I love, love, LOVE football. The last couple years I’ve strictly watched the Packers. But this year I’ve got several Monday Night Football games. And I’ve been keeping up with team stats! It’s kind of strange for me. I never used to do that, but it’s a lot of fun!

So how did that whole Packers kicking the Cowboys butt work out for you. *grin*
Sorry! Dallas girl. I simply HAD to say something. I do hope you saw the game anyway.

Well, all I can say is that Green Bay didn’t take as big a beating as years passed! That’s good enough for me!

Sarah, I so wish I had that!!
