[edit] Really?

The following statement was recently removed from the article: "The Ravens-Bengals game on November 30th was not available on Directv systems due to a technical problem in the system, blacking out millions of Directv customers from the Ravens-Bengals game."

I get DirecTV and I can report that there were no problems in the transmission of the telecast itself. However, some viewers may have been unable to see the game due to local weather conditions. When a storm hits, the DirecTV signal may be knocked off and replaced by a message reading "Searching for satellite signal." I know that many parts of the South and Midwest had major storms that day, and in fact it rained heavily in Cincinnati itself.

Also, viewers in the Cincinnati area may have had the game blacked out, if Paul Brown Stadium did not sell out before the 72-hour deadline.

I am calling on the contributor to clarify the above information and repost as appropriate, with sources. - Desmond Hobson 18:25, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

UPDATE: The same erroneous information, with different wording, was posted on Christmas Day in another part of the page by the IP address 72.79.97.118. To repeat, the November 30 Ravens-Bengals game was broadcast on DirecTV. - Desmond Hobson 21:47, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Image:NFLNetworkScreenshot.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] 2008 Schedule

In 2006 and 2007, the 5 Thursday night games were Weeks 12-16, starting on Thanksgiving (Nov. 23, 2006 and Nov. 22, 2007), and ending with the penultimate week of the season (Dec. 21, 2006 and Dec. 20, 2007); there was no Thursday night game the last week of the season (Dec. 28, 2006 and Dec. 27, 2007). The 3 Saturday night games were Weeks 15-17, the last 3 weeks of the season (Dec. 16, 23, and 30, 2006; and Dec. 15, 22, and 29, 2007).

However, in 2008, Thanksgiving falls on Nov. 27, a week later (Week 13 rather than Week 12) than in 2006 and 2007. How will they handle the schedule? Will they start the Thursday night games the week before Thanksgiving (Nov. 20, 2008), and otherwise follow the same basic pattern as 2006 and 2007? Or, will they have a Thursday night game during the last week of the season (which would be Christmas, Dec. 25), even though there was no Thursday night game that week in 2006 and 2007 (and there has never been a Thursday night game on Christmas, although they do have Sunday night and Monday night games on Christmas)? Or will they instead do 4 Thursday night games (weeks 13-16) and 4 Saturday night games (weeks 14-17)? Or does nobody know? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.184.64.197 (talk) 00:53, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
