All blacked out games to air on nfl.com

I just read on NFL.com that all blacked out games will be aired (delayed) in thier entirety on nfl.com.  The commisioner said it is due to the certain problem with the economy which prompted them to do this.  Hope this is good news for all of you living in the black out zone.  I will be watching all of the games on nfl ticket as usual.  Hopefully I can get down to jax to watch some games at the stadium in the seasons to come.

And for how much?

This is not going to help solve the ticket sales problem.

If you're not going to sell out the game

then you might as well hold everyone who doesnt go hostage and buy to see the game, It’ll probably be only this year.

I think that would be true initially...

but atleast the people in and around the Jax area will be able to see it in it’s entirety.

By doing this hopefully, it will generate enough enthusiasm within the general public who can go to a game once in awhile to purchase a ticket and watch it first hand, instead of waiting for the delay.

Furthermore, I work in downtown Philly, and last week on the radio, the mid-day crew absolutely berated the NFL over their blackout rule. This is a city with no worries concerning blackouts, and I believe Philly is not the only city talking about it. I have to believe this is becoming a big issue for the NFL hence the delayed re-airing of all games. IMO

There'll be alot debate about it as long as there's a percieved recession/depression.

Glad i’m not Goodell.

I don't get it...

So since I live in NY I can’t watch these games after midnight for free? I have to subscribe?

FILE - In this Sept. 4, 2009 file photo, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Shaun Hill aims a pass downfield against the San Diego Chargers during the first quarter of an NFL preseason football game in San Diego. Hill earned the starting job for the 2009 season by beating out Alex Smith, who missed last season after re-injuring his surgically repaired throwing shoulder. Head coach Mike Singletary largely chose Hill based on his play down the stretch last year: he went 5-3 over the final eight games and he also owns a 5-0 record at home in Candlestick Park.
