Tonight, the (10-1) Green Bay Packers behind the suddenly rejuvenated septuagenarian, Brett Farve, face off against the (10-1) Dallas Cowboys in one of the biggest regular season games in years. The rabid fan bases of these two seminal professional football franchises have been looking forward to this game all year; too bad most of them won't be able to watch it.
The NFL, in all of their infinite wisdom, has decided to air the game on its NFL network, which is unavailable to millions of cable viewers around the country. Time Warner and Charter, two of the countries largest cable providers, have refused to carry the NFL network. So what is a fan to do?
The NFL has put together an online package that will allow fans to watch some of the game online and follow along with stat updates and analysis. They stop short of fully streaming the game but promise to provide "exclusive live game action, early and often". It's better than nothing and they've even partnered with Sprint to take the show mobile.
If you can't watch the game on TV, check it out at NFL.com/live.
