Yep, looks like 5 MT. Crazy to start that early without a second game later.
Edit: Looks like NBC is cutting to the Republican Convention right after the game, so I guess that explains it...

Cool intro w/ Strahan, the Giants players may be a tad hyped up, wouldn't want to be a Redskin on the first series. Oh, and Sunday can't get here fast enough!
edit-lol, guess not (kick return)
edit-guess so

Understood and a truly legitimate concern...
But in all honesty, should McCallister fail then I believe that Aaron Stecker can handle things "enough" to allow them to not be a pass only club. I know he has never been an everydown back...but I think he can be in a limited role.
Bush will never be a guy that runs for big yards...especially between the tackles, but his presence alone means the opposing D has to account for him, there by taking away the 8th man in the box. That should open up lots of things for Brees...especially with Shockey there.
Or they could go 4-12 and I am completely wrong.....but I just have a feeling about them this season.

Brutal game management in the closing minutes. I though Madden was getting pretty riled up about it, lol.
The second half was generally pretty much a dog of a game. Neither team could do anything. I hope the mics in the defender's helmets don't give the D too much of an advantage and lead to many low scoring games.

Watching Sunday NFL Countdown on TSN. They have their mini-field on set to demonstrate specific plays, in previous years using the hosts of the show to run the plays.
This morning they have Tom Jackson by himself and actual lifesize computer generated images from the Madden video game running these plays right around him. Absolutely unreal how awesome that looked. Not sure if that's a new technology or just the old green-screen chroma key trick they use for the weatherman, but nontheless, looked pretty awesome.
Wondering if anyone else saw this?

Same problem here they forgot to hook up my access, or its everyone, they better be giving me a credit, what a joke of a company Shaw is.
I'm guessing they're having problems because its always busy when I try to call.
Also the HD sunday ticket channels are working, just not the regular ones.
