Almost a day later, I'm cleared to post. Anywho, here's what I would have written:
You shouldn't have to pay to listen to freakin' web radio. Forget that FieldPass nonsense.
Go to http://www.thegamelive.com/footballnfl.html and go to the NFL section. Lucky for you guys the Pats are one of the few - perhaps the only! - NFL team(s) that does not allow its affliated radio stations to broadcast the game live on the internet. That's why if you go to the stations listed under the Pats section, you'll only hear dead air or Muzak. Hooray!
Solution: Go to the section of the team the Pats are playing and select a feed. I'm currently listening to WABC 770, and WEPN 1050 also has a pretty clear radio feed. Although, if your addition overloads the feed I'll have no choice but to hunt you down and fork you in the eye.
Otherwise Go Pats!

unoriginal said:Well nuts. Still, good to know. There's probably a few other teams as well, I haven't gone team by team on gamedays.
Would you happen to know what rule that would be? That seems to be operating inversely to the TV blackout rule, which states that TV coverage inside a team's market will be "blacked-out" if seats are not sold out 3 (?) days before a game. I know Jacksonville, with its nascent fan base, gets around this by tarping over unsellable seats, thereby "selling out" the game.
If it's an NFL rule, it must only apply to the Patriots because I'm not in the New York market and I still got the feeds for WEPN and WABC.
That may come off as belligerent, but I don't mean to be. I think we got the beginnings of a good thread here on helping out-of-market NFL fans in general - and obviously Pats fans in particular - follow their team, and it'd be nice to suss out what the hell is going on with the radio feeds.
packfan said:Three years ago, all the feeds were free. BUT -- in order to keep their affiliate status, the NFL forced the local stations to block the game in order to create a demand for FieldPass. Some still do air the games, just on a couple of minute delay. But not the Packer stations.
