They're big, mature oak trees. They do have their benefits. Just not during football season.

I would prefer to watch in the comforts of my own home though, I am a very boisterous fan.

If you cant get DirecTV due to the trees you are eligible to purchase the NFL Sunday Ticket.tv thing DirecTV has been offering. The Question is why would you buy it to watch the Bills =0) and is it worth 300 USD to you.

How do they know if you got trees preventing you from getting Direct TV?

I'll probably end up getting it as I won't get the Niners games in Alabama.

The techs would have to note it when they come out to do the install that it cannot be completed due to LOS issues, then they remove your address from the system and you should be allowed to order the package online at that point.

I love my team. I would pay much more than $300 if that is what it cost to watch my Bills.

The NFL announced that next year's draft will be held in either Los Angeles or Chicago. New York was eliminated as a choice because Radio City Music Hall will be unavailable in April and May and the other arenas in the area would have had conflicts due to basketball and hockey games. A final decision on the draft location is expected by late summer.

[dcowboy7]

Seems to me they were looking to move anyway & are just useing the hall not available as a convenient excuse.

They keep taking about making it an even bigger event maybe even going to 4 days so the move to a new city makes sense especially since no johnny football to buzz next year.

LA would best for day 1 with the weather & celebs but i could see interest dying down there on the other days as compared to chicago.

yeah because a vast majority of people continue to watch after day 1 , Expanding it to 4 days is uber retarded and should not even be considered. If the NFL wants to expand something drop 2 preseason games and give me 2 additional regular season games with a 2nd bye week.

[dcowboy7]

But then the super bowl in 2016 would be feb 28....that aint happening.

No it wouldn't your dropping 2 pre-season games for 2 regular season games. and maybe extending the season 1 week adding a bye week in.

The NFL would not start the regular season before Labor Day. Viewership is down across the board during the summer and the NFL wouldn't risk lower viewership by starting the season in mid-August.

It's a moot point anyway, the NFLPA will never agree to an 18-game season. It would also make the league look pretty hypocritical if they preached that safety is their top priority and then extended the season, which would lead to even more injuries.

49ers OLB Aldon Smith was sentenced 12 days in jail on gun and DUI charges.

I got mixed feelings about this. Being a Niners fan I'm happy but I think he got off easy.
