NFL International Game 2009
London49ers:
Slightly off topic but how are you European guys this year with your NFL coverage?
Sky just signed a new deal and it leaves us with less coverage :(
Last year - 2 early games and Sunday night game on Sky Sports + 'red button' alternative games, MNF, Thursday/Saturday games etc all on Sky
This year - 2 early games, no red button games on Sky, sunday night game on channel 5, but no MNF at all! ESPN bought the rights but will only show it in the EU, not the UK!
we do get BBR Radio 5 live covering games on sundays now though - Niners Cards this weekend, so if Justin TV fails, I'll be glued to my radio!

We are being spoiled, London ;)
We begin tonight with the Steelers
Sunday we get;
Jaguars at Colts (TV2 Sport)
49ers at Cardinals (TV3+) 8) followed by a review of the Redskins at Giants before
Bears at Packers (TV3+)
MNF
Bills at Patriots (TV2 Sport)
Chargers at Raiders (TV2 Sport)
3 Sunday games, MNF and the occasional Thursday games! Fancy a move to Denmark? ;)
49ers are on again in week 3 when we hopefully beat up Favre
London49ers:
damn, I'm envious Grid! I'll obviously be watching every game that they show over here, but it sucks that our team are hardly ever on, and I cant even guarantee to see our MNF appearence anymore! Game pass is great but I really cant afford that this year (especially as my combined Sky package - inc sky sports - and ESPN cost me over £50 a month anyway!), so it'll be justin tv all the way for my Niner games, and failing that, sat radio or BBS Radio 5 live if they have our games on.
Sky seem to pick shoddy games quite a bit too - I mean Minnesota - Cleveland as the opener this weekend, purely because of Favre being there! Hardly a must see game, and then a couple of weeks later they have TB vs the Bills - I knw they're doing that so TB get more exposure (As they're a wembley bound team of course), but really?! 2 teams who are both in freefall at the moment, as one of only 2 games being shown that weekend?!

The only problem is that the commentators - especially on TV3+ - are so awful that they can singlehandedly spoil a perfectly good game of Football. I'm sticking with Game Pass HD again this year, which now also includes NFL Network 24/7.

Couldn't afford Game Pass this season, (unemployment sucks), but I've gone with Field Pass again, so me and my headphones will be tuning in every sunday night!!
