I heard on ESPN on Tuesday that Goodell spoke with the owners and determined that the Blackout rule will not be re-worked or resolved. So basically the NFL is stuck with it.

What a stupid rule!!!

Don’t worry about blackouts….the jets are sold out now for season tickets amd there are only a few games available on ticketmaster left…..the tickets for sale on stubhub and nfl ticketexchange don’t count against blacking out a game because those are all season ticket holders that prchased those seats already

OT: The gift that keeps on giving.

“NFL looking into Brett Favre’s comments that Jets knew about torn biceps tendon, but wasn’t on injury report
Source: ESPN”

After giving up a 3rd round draft choice to get him, and loosing the 7th rounder that was supposed to come back from Green Bay after he “retired”, the Jets could lose another one, say a 5th, if this story turns out to be true.

Wow…this blackout stuff is so stupid….goodell has to fix that…i mean not for nothing we are the reason the NFL even exists and because there is a recession going on and jets fans can’t really afford the high priced tickets who suffers? the fans….not the players they still get paid there millions….

It really is horrible….

Blackout rules need to be fixed. Maybe if it affected the NE Patsies one time the NFL would definitely change the rule.

“IF they don’t the game would be blacked out on NETWORK TV in the local market.

Only way you could see it would be to purchase the NFL package or go to a sports bar near you that has it.”

That second sentence is not true. If the sports bar or NFL package owner is in the local area, it is also subject to the blackout rules. You would need to travel approx. 75 miles away from the market in order to view it.
