    Ultimately, yes... thus my follow up to the bit you quoted...

    But first Woods and Co. shut the man down.

    Here are Henry's 1st half runs... 3, 7, 2, -3 (Fumble), 5, 0... that's 6 for 14 and a fumble. He ended up with 15 for 60.

    Agree that his every run in the 2nd half was a gift to us.

    i know it was crazy they were running the ball

    Atom, the reason Direct's customer service sucks big time now- is when AT&T took them over- they fired around 70% of their CSRs. Now they have maroons looking at their computer screens for problem solutions. Did you reboot your receiver? Dumb shit I've already tried.   Fortunately-a few years back I was having  so many technical problems one of the CSRs gave me the direct line to high level tech support. The few guys left who actually are capable of dealing with non-mundane difficulties, and not having to go through some bozo first. # still works too- I had to use it a couple months ago when I wanted to add 4k capability.  :)  

    PS- I've heard rumors the long term plan for Direct is eventually to go to a streaming model. Far cheaper outlay than sending up another satellite when one conks out...  Also- though it's been kept pretty quiet- service providers like Spectrum (and others) are supposedly suing Direct and the NFL over the exclusivity contract on Sunday Ticket.  The exclusivity makes no sense- when you can offer that service to way more fans that way. 

    if they still have the ticket next year make sure to threaten to cancel in the spring so you can get the ticket for free

    You must be in a market where Tegna owns the station.  It's a constant battle with big station owners like Tegna and NexStar trying to get max $$$ out of DirecTV and Spectrum. With the result your satellite or cable bill is constantly going up into the stratosphere. My D* bill is up to $160 a month, and my only indulgence is $12 bucks for STO, so I can catch Browns Red Zone and the Cavs games.

    Some thoughts.. 1) It's little wonder streaming services are booming, they're way cheaper, if you're not too picky on Channel availability.  

    2) DirecTV rant: Not surprised AT&T is trying to sell them off. It's their MO, buy a thriving company and ruin them. I used to own Direct stock,  dumped it the second I got wind AT&T was going to buy them. If they didn't have the exclusive rights to  Sunday ticket, I'd be a former customer. A little factoid- 20% of your  Direct bill goes to  ESPN. 

    Regarding your blackout,  for every problem there is a solution. If you're not way out in the boondocks, get an amplified antenna, and plug it directly into your TV. Oh, and Direct doesn't advertise it, but you can request a black box that connects to your receiver via a SATA cable, attach the antenna to that, and program the reciever to recognize local OTA channels.  :) That works with a HR-54 or lower, can't vouch if it's available on the new Genie2s.

    there custom service really sucks but if you threaten to cancel they pick right up and in doing so i have gotten the sunday ticket free the past 2 years

    Well...if you have ever noticed,  you must be an "official" NFL stadium to host an NFL game.  Now, aside from the home fields of each NFL team, the only other  "official" NFL stadium, in this country, that I am aware of....is the Hall of Fame stadium in Canton.  There are also the "international stadiums" like Wembley in London, plus one other in London , plus Azteca stadium in Mexico City.   Not sure if there are any others.   But not in Portland.  Is there even a stadium there? 

    no there isnt they turned into a soccer stadium kicked the psu vikings out they play in hillsboro now fuck soccer
