Pats game is at 730 I think. NFL Network won't be airing it until 11PM.
I checked the Direct TV schedule and it's not showing that it's being
covered. Is my only option to watch it at 11 (I don't want to watch it
online)? Why can't they air it live outside the home market? They're
not showing another football game in that time slot...

because your local stations don't want to pay to broadcast a pre-season
out-of-market game.
it's not a network production

One would think that the NFL network, since they own the shit, would
make it so that they can broadcast out of market games since they
apparently don't let directv do it.

Why does it matter when you see a pre season game?

Probably because ESPN was broadcasting the Pack/Colts game at the same time.

Because the bar closes before the second half begins.

which game would they send. several teams play at a time.
it's preseason and the interest for out of market games iosn't there.

They should pick one game to play live instead of zero games to play
live. I know the interest isn't high, but it's gotta be higher than an
NFL Films documentary about the 1985 Bears, or whatever they played instead.

Mark please post this Pats scheduling bunk in the Pats newsgroup. Jets
fans don't give a shit about when the Pats are on TV. Only thing we
give a shit about the Pats is destroying you guys.

It was a general question regarding the NFL network. It was true not
only for the Pats game, but for all NFL games.

Again, they're not going to play a live game when ESPN has one at the
same time.

Likely excuse. ;-) I'm just so charged up watching Patton. I had to
defend our territory!
