Why is that? Kind of sucks for me then because I was planning a work trip to San Diego the week the Raiders are in town.

It was a way to limit the influx of Raiders fans buying up all the tickets for that game.

It looks they lift the rule after certain point of time.

Why don't you cry on why major websites won't work on your ipad?

Only if you promise to speed up your upcoming cardiac arrest.

Since I've moved to SD, I think they've had more home games blacked out than televised. I was hoping that we'd get the Bears game here tomorrow, I really don't want to have to go to a bar at 10am.

Really that is odd since it looks like there has been 5 in last couple years and none in the 5 years before that.

Atlanta never travels well out west so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Yeah, as far as I know, if the game is blacked out locally, its blacked out on both the local broadcast and Sunday Ticket. There was a big stink a few years back because local bars were streaming the game from the web and the NFL sent C&D letters threatening legal action.

They were about 10k short at the deadline this week.

Its really surprising, as I think there's a pretty strong fandom for the Chargers here, but I guess that just doesn't translate to ticket sales. No wonder they've kept Turner and Smith for so long, no reason to put a better team on the field.

As long as I live in SD though, I'll go to the game though.... every 8 years when the Bears come here.

Still, not as bad as going to a Padres game though. I've never been to one where at least half the crowd wasn't rooting for the visiting team.

Well San Diego is a transitory city and that explains part of the lack of sellouts at Chargers games.

And I thought it sucked having to wait for every 6th year to see Oakland play when they come to Cincy.

Upset alert: Raiders over Steelers.

Now I'm not saying Oakland should win BUT for some reason after losing in Miami Oakland usually beats a much better team at home.

Lol...not to be confused with various artery clogging snacks and adult beverages folks on this thread consume on NFL Sundays.

But hey, if you wish cardiac arrest on me then you have more issues than I thought. Stay classy man, stay classy.

I already told you my concerns with this game. Ben plays like crap out there, and Palmer knows how to play the Steelers. This game will probably be a lot closer than most people think, but I'm still seeing a Steelers victory after a bad start.

With the replacement refs it might last until early Monday. You'll enjoy the extra time.

Ok, lets see if the choak and BS from last week affects my Bucs today. I hate Dallas so kicking their butts would be great.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

Here we go! I hope this isn't too painful for the Vikings.

Nah, they're actually putting up a good force against the Niners. I'll admit, I'm surprised, but this one looks like it's going to be a war.
