We could all watch GB @ Philly tomorrow night if the game was on NBC, but those greedy bastards have their hands out for more money. frick them. They’ve made hundreds of millions on the NFL over the years and would make hundreds of millions more without making fans subscribe to another streaming service.

I’m not watching any NBC games until they drop the peecock paywall.

I wouldn’t sign up for NBC’s Peacock if it was the exclusive broadcaster of LSU football.

I would gladly pay the extra amount to watch Tennessee and Carolina, let alone to watch Green Bay and Philly.

NFL Network, Prime, peacock. Not the first time I miss a game because of the league’s greed.

I don’t even think the NFL can legally broadcast this game on network television

ETA - not sure that really applies here

quote:

Under the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961, the NFL isn't allowed to televise any games on Friday or Saturday from the second weekend in September through the second weekend in December (Those two days have been earmarked for high school and college football).

So brave.

Imagine bitching about paying a couple dollars/month. Peacock was great for watching the Olympics.

I plan on watching the TNF game & SNF game on peacock too

American Football belongs to the masses. Networks like NBC have had the privilege of getting to broadcast NFL gams and make billions off our country’s love of the sport. They should show their appreciation to us, not frick us.

Are you also going to bitch about TNF being on prime video next week & rest of the season?

Are you aware that we get that game for free this week bc of NBC?

This is correct, thus why the game is on a streamer.

You can order it for the $7.99 or whatever and then cancel it. You'd spend way more if you have to go to the bar.
