What Channel?

So tonight might be the biggest game of the year for the Jets.  At 6-3, and tied for first with the Patriots, the two face on in Foxborough tonight.  The only problem is, that the game is being broadcasted on NFL Network, aaand you can't get it up here with the basic cable programs.  What is that about?  Biggest game of the week, and you can't even get it up here.  The NFL network is a great idea, NFL stats/ clips/ interviews 24/7.  But what gives?  How can you not provide everyone with the service.  

The answer, greed.  The NFL is a money machine, and they want people to pay for the NFL network.  It's sad when the most popular current sport in America wants its fans to pay to watch a game. 

Anyway, tonight's game should prove to be a big one.  The Jets lost the last matchup, and need this win to have any chance of making the playoffs.  And they should be able to get the win; Brett Favre seems to have settled in, the running game is looking good(3 TD for Thomas Jones last game), and the defense has just been filthy.  Combine that with the fact that the Patriots have some key injuries(Brady, Maroney, Harrison, Thomas), and the Jets have a real chance.  The only question is will they show up?  For my room mates sake, let's hope so.

Yea it is bullshit how I cant watch my team on a Thursday night. I actually put it on the radio and watched the play by play on nfl.com. It was my last resort but hey im a true fan. AS for the game they almost pulled a classic "jet move" and blew the game but did come out with the victory. I was soo pumped.
