I can't watch every game live but at least I can see every game

I don't have ticket so this means a lot to me. I'm trying to decide if I should watch just the Saints or get full access, prob get full access to see them Niners play too. Hopefully this is what some of you that are in my position will be able to do. I mean I like the live peer to peer websites and all, and they're better than nothing, but this is in HD. I don't know when they'll be available but I look forward to using this to analyze games.

Watch Mad Games!!! If you don't have ticket...

Yeah, that seems like a sweet deal, Tay.

Thanks for sharing. I do get the ticket, so I won’t be using it, but it’s good of you to bring it to the peer-to-peer website table.

This is very intresting

I do get ticket, but I will see how this goes. I might be willing to wait a little bit to watch the game if it will save me 400 freaking dollars.

BTW, Stu, I now have the ability to record live HD programming to my computer. We talked about this earlier. I’ll be able to record the games to my computer. The file size for one game in HD, by my calculations, will be probably 10-15 Gig/game, depending on the quality I select. I also found this link through SaintsReport. I’ve already downloaded to my computer every win from the ’06 and ’07 Season…

But cool.

And what does HD look like on standard definition equipment? I hate picture distortion, “stretch to fit”.

Hey, where’s dell? Thought he had the hookup for us.

Looks noticeably nicer, but smaller.

I used to play a digital tuner through my 20" CRT TV. It looked great compared to without dtv, but I lost like 30% of the screen.

this seems pretty awesome. i really enjoy watching the game while chatting it up here on CSC though. luckily, i get to watch the saints play oakland on tv this weekend since i’m in LA.

How naive.

Bunch of clowns… Restricting access based on user location is pretty dumb. Have they ever heard of proxys?

Isn’t the NFL a bit retard not sensing web feeds are now an inevitable thing? Bah, what do I care. I know I’ll be able to watch every game this year. Won’t be HD, but keeping hundreds of $’ in my pocket still is a fine thing with me…

You can stream games live from NFL.com…as long as you don’t live in the U.S. Might not include Canada, but that really chapped my hide last year when I was trying to figure out how not to change my entire tv service and shill out an extra couple hundred bucks to watch 3 specific hours of tv a week. I will pay them, dammit, but give me more than one option. The “all-or nothing” business model is SOO last century.

by FuSoYa on Aug 27, 2009 12:13 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

so glad I don't have to deal with all that

home games = in person
away games = on network TV

Though, I always wind up at a local sports bar for away games anyway — due to pathetic reception at home, even with a converter box — so I guess it really doesn’t matter what channel they’re on.

I used to root for a the SuperSonics though — before we landed the Hornets — and they were a bitch to follow live, especially without the internet at the time. So, I sorta feel y’all’s pain.

I spent the first 25 years of my life

in Mandeville and Lakeview. And one creepy but fun year by St. Roch. Losing easy access to Saints games may have been the harder part of moving than the food or the singular celebration technique.

But I STILL haven't been able to eat cochon du lait for the Superbowl since the Bucs won it.

That hurts two ways.

Man

I haven’t had that in forever. I used to go to the St. Edward the Confessor school fair in Metairie, just about every year as a kid, as I lived in the Bridgedale subdivision right behind there at the time. They always carved it up right. Might have to make it out that way this year, if they still even do it.

Come on down

on da bayou here in Lafourche/Terrebonne. Sundays you can ride around and almost always find someone with a pig on the rotisserie for the games, heck most of the bars turn a pig every Sunday for the games. I had a buddy that had a bar back in the 90’s, every Sunday was a pig. We started turning at 5:30am, and the beer was free for the cooks till he opened about 11. Still trying to remember if they had a game?

I could eat cracklins with milk for breakfast.

Does a guy who sits next to a fire, smokes cigarettes, and turns the pig with a mop handle occasionally count as a “cook”?

by FuSoYa on Aug 28, 2009 9:49 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Only if he spits in a styrofoam cup and hikes up his black & gold Zubaz pants, each time he turns the mop.

Montreal, Canada

Thanks for the tip.

As i said, I’m not not to worry about viewing the games this season. I’m already going through old sites I use to go and looking for new ones.

Just get the D going!

Unnecessary, but I'm thinking about it

The foods I miss:

Hot pastrami from Dorignac’s(goes great with fun arcade)
Checker’s and Bud’s Broiler burgers
Oyster poboy with garlic butter at Liuzza. Man’s greatest accomplishment to date
Tub of various fried seafood from St. Roch- not the best, but used to be my comfort food from down the block
Mandina’s turtle soup. Have it on good authority it was usually veal, but it was good either way. Also, their crab claws
Mother’s Debris-my version of tailgater food
Herbie combo poboy at Rag’s- standard roast beef, gravy, fried ham and swiss, but theirs was gooder than most
Fried chicken at Sal n’ Judy’s- as good as grandma’s
stuffed croissants at Petit D’Or(where Angelo Broccato’s used to be on Ursuline)
Breakfast at the Olde College Tavern.
Crawfish beignet at Jazzfest

Felt good to get that out

I actually stopped at Bud’s Broiler after the Cincinnati game, it was packed. Tore up two #5s and a double chili cheese fry in no time flat. Kind of expensive for fast food, but still cheaper than the Superdome. And tastier.

yeah, they’ll charge an exorbitant fee to stream the radio too. Better than nothing. Just not much better. Last year, they did have the live stream of network game coverage available for foreign countries. May have just been Europe, I don’t know. Don’t know if they’re still doing it, either. I think it was only live stream too. Don’t think you could watch it “TiVo” style. Doesn’t matter to me, I live in the country where footbal was invented and is played, so I was ineligible. BITTERNESS!!!

by FuSoYa on Aug 27, 2009 10:13 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

That one wasn’t entirely the NFL’s fault, because they hadn’t thought up the idea before they got their contract with DirectTV and they’d agreed to an exclusive deal with them.

i have to find a sports bar here in s florida

where i can watch the games, since i can’t fly back in town for every game (unfortunately). i refuse to pay directv absurd prices for all the games i don’t want to see, and i think the way cable/satellite companies operate is really criminal. regardless, i still have my season tickets (ma and pa ful will be going to most of those games, however) so i’ll be back as often as possible.

fu— your list of foods made me sad AND hungry. i cook most of my own meals since i can’t stand to eat out here, but i’ve been jonesing for a solid roast beef poboy and i can’t get good french bread. wtf, publix! and man oh man do i miss those commander’s 25-cent martinis…

by jful on Aug 28, 2009 8:11 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs

I live in Austin, where the loaves of uncut Bunny bread being labeled “french bread” should be criminal, but I eventually figured out that the Vietnamese produce an almost identical sandwich baguette for a sandwich style called Banh Mit(sp?). It’s usually not a full loaf, but the size and crust to interior contrast is spot on for a perfect poboy. I make my own fillings now, but the trick was finding the bread. Maybe you could find a good Vietnamese sandwich shop in your town?

by FuSoYa on Aug 28, 2009 9:55 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

This brings to mind another food, not football-related topic maybe someone else has input on:

Until a couple years ago, I was absolutely adamant that the perfect roast beef poboy had paper thin slices of medium well roast beef, an ungodly slathering of mayonnaise, and, most important, brown gravy with beef debris. When I was lamenting to my father one day about the absence of such a simple meal in Texas, he told me that gravy was a bastardization of the proper roast beef poboy format, and that au jus was the proper sandwich lube(my words, not his). To me, that’s just a french dip, a great sandwich, but not a roast beef poboy. I wonder, has the accepted standard really changed in the last thirty years? Or am I wrong, and have fallen in love with a pretender to the throne? Or is he wrong?

by FuSoYa on Aug 28, 2009 10:06 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Once the gravy (au jus) is on the sammich, how do you know (and what would it matter) if the debris bits had come from the gravy itself or just fell off the finely sliced roast beef? I mean, I’ve had it both ways, but the only reason I know I have is because I was able to peek over the counter and see the debris floating in the pot. Otherwise, I don’t think I’ve ever cared enough to take one apart and attempt to discern the point of origin of ‘them thar lil’ bits’.

by coldpizza on Aug 28, 2009 10:14 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

May just be me, but the debris is a quintessential ingredient, and it comes only from proper beef roasting. A medium rare roast will not yield any debris, for instance. The debris on some fries is a great meal in itself. Go visit Mother’s if you’d like to know more. The difference between brown gravy and au jus is so immense, I can’t see how it bears explanation. I’m a professional cook, so maybe I think about this crap too much.

by FuSoYa on Aug 28, 2009 10:30 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Mother’s is really the only place I’ve ever heard it referred to as debris. But yeah, I’m far from a professional cook. Unless you’re reeeeeally into chili mac w/ hotdog ‘debris’.
