Thank the good lord for side by side/PiP/Pop.

I rarely let anything interfere with football on Sunday's and Monday nights. I once said in a job interview, "I'm not available Sunday's and Monday nights during football season," and got the job anyway (but was forced to work Friday and Saturday)

Being from the UK, NFL games on TV come at a pretty rip off price unfortunately. So instead i'll use NFL.com (for big play or TD updates), sometimes i'll find a couple of US radio stations dedicated to GameDay updates that I can tune into via internet. I mainly use both at same time. A UK radio station broadcasts live commentary for one game per sunday, which is pretty helpful too.

I've also subscribed to ESPN Football Today Podcast via MediaMonkey (Music Managment software) which downloads the newest podcasts for my listening.

We're pretty limited over here.

RJTurner... there is always some "not legal things"

I never play madden during live games I play either before or after, since I find the pre game shows boring.
