I give]e up. I have been on the phone with DirecTV twice and I am getting no where. Well I have got them to finally admit that the Steelers will not be playing at 1PM. I have been over at the Steelers web site and the results change every 15 minutes.


So far I have been given 3 stories. (Assuming a Sunday Night Game)
1) The Pit/Mia game will be aired on Sunday Ticket
2) The Pit/Mia game will only be broadcast to the local areas on Sunday Night.(everyone else will recieve the "Not available in your Area"
3) the Pit/Mia game will only be aired LIVE to the local stations, but will the be replayed Monday on DirectTV.

I am really wanting to see Big Ben make his pro debut.

I have no idea if this helps, but when Tenn/Mia was played early, they did not broadcast it live, but instead broadcast the tape delay at the normal time.

My guess (and it is only a guess) is that ESPN does not want any competition with its Sunday night game, and that ESPN will get what it wants. PIT/MIA will probably be shown on tape delay some time later.

Of course, I, too, would rather see Pittsburg than the much overhyped "Gruden Bowl," but I just don't see it happening.

Take solace, however, in the fact that I don't know what I am talking about.
