Good Old Neon Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 But I don't really have a position in this discussion. I watched part of this football game, and it's the only football I've watched all year. I thought it was exciting and skillful playing by both teams. I have been reading this thread because it is interesting to me. I pay very close attention, actually. When you start touting yourself as some sort of master at debate and challenger of belief systems, it's just kind of amusing. You manage to piss people off, sure, but only because you're so tangential and illogical, not because you really strike any nerves. If you set yourself up as being a sort of philosophical pioneer, you need to have the stuff to back it up. Or get called on it when you don't. It's really not that complicated.

bjorn_skurj Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 1. I retain a certain amount of respect for Belichick, as all Giants fans should. He played a big part in the Giants teams of the 1980s - his game plan for Super Bowl XXV is in the Football Hall of Fame. 2. I paid a $1.99 last night for Super Bowl XLII highlights I can watch on my iPod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 There is this - Belichick saw "00:00" on the scoreboard, and, contrary to Super Bowl tradition, went to congratulate the winning coach. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aricandover Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 What? Bleh. They always had that sweet NFL Films footage. yeah, it sucks, but hopefully it'll be picked up by another network. the NFL network seems like the obvious choice, but I really hope that doesn't happen, since I don't get that channel.

JerseyMike Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 thumbs down to HBO, for canceling Inside the NFL. I agree as well. Luckily for me, i do get the NFL Network. Its borderline obsessive. I spent last week watching Senior Bowl practices to get ready for the draft. From the greatest foosball site in the world: www.profootballtalk.com WHERE WILL INSIDE THE NFL LAND? With the last episode of Inside the NFL now in the viewing rotation on HBO, it's unclear where the show will resurface in 2008. A source with knowledge of the show tells us that HBO was paying NFL Films a whopping $8 million per year for the rights to use the highlights of NFL games. Add to that estimated annual production costs of $20 million, and that's a hefty price tag for any network to pay. Still, it's a relatively cheap way to bring the NFL to a network that currently doesn't have it, especially in light of what it costs to televise actual games. The cash influx resulting from the rights fee makes it unlikely that the show will land on NFL Network, and more likely that we'll see it on TBS or TNT or some other network that currently isn't airing NFL games. Another factor nudging the show to something other than CBS or NBC or FOX or ESPN/ABC is the potential for controversy arising from some of the story lines. For example, the source believes that a recent item on how the 1925 NFL Champions, the Pottsville Maroons, have been screwed by the league wouldn't have been aired by one of the broadcast partners during Super Bowl week because it embarrassed the Bidwills, who own the team that hosted the big game.
