And also, after they lose a preseason game, people will also talk about how it could be a bad season. It's like that every year.

You must not have heard Robert Kraft's guarantee today:

Plenty of others but those are the ones I'm most familiar with.

Yeah. I'm going to have the same exact problem as I am going to wait until the 11 P.M. showing to actually watch the game (would rather not watch it through an online feed). However, I know I'm going to be checking the GameCast on ESPN like a madman.

IIRC the pre-season games are on a separate contract with the networks than the regular season with every team free to negotiate their own which may explain why NFLN has only a few games live...

I'll be the guy in the Troy Brown jersey right behind the goalposts 6 rows up....

My guess is the nationally televised game will be breaking in with extensive time when the Pats are on offense. The drives will also be the topic of discussion.

Also, nothing will irritate our "bumblebee" associates more than to have them marginalized by this momentous event.

...

To add support to this prediction, on the drive in to work this morning, during the Sportscenter update on ESPN radio, Christine Leesee (sp?) said that tomorrow night's game will be Tom Brady's first since injuring his knee etc.

Hopefully, that means that ESPN, who I think is broadcasting the Steeler/Cardinal game at the same time, plans to cut in to our game like the poster predicts.

I also lack that self-control.

Nah. They'll go with the Steelers game...and they should. We'd expect the same if the Pats were reigning champs. Outside of New England, Brady's return will happen on Monday night in Foxboro against Buffalo, when the whole (football watching) nation will be tuned in. That's what counts.
