    Alan Iverson had a rant about "PRACTICE". It was classic.

    So tonight I said, hey, I just moved back to NY. I'll watch the Buffalo/Detroit football game. After all, Buffalo is almost a home town team. I used to follow them when I was in college way back when in Fredonia, NY. So I turn it on...."DUE to NFL Blackout rules the game will not be shown tonight". DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..... it's dang preseason PRACTICE. And where do I live.... 190 miles from BUFFALO. OH Gee, let me drive 400 miles round trip, spend a night in a hotel to watch preseason "PRACTICE". NOT. What better way to attract new fans than to HAVE THE GAME ON TV. NOPE, NFL blackout rules yad ayad yada.

    So I say, go to the NFL site to lodge a question/complaint. NEwsfllash... NO SUCH LINK. You can't contact them. So I go to the Bills site. You must register. I say no problem I click the REGISTER button. "The site Administrator has disabled the Registration capability or link" or whatever they said.

    Plan 2.... I turned on a looser college football game where kids are playing their hearts out and it's not the NFL with their blackouts. Screw the NFL and the NFL Network. Greedy suckers. I'll never pay them a dime to watch a game on TV. I'll watch college ball and enjoy. Until they make us pay for the Super Bowl.... I'll watch that.

    It's PRACTICE FOLKS. You may get to see the starters for a quarter or maybe a half. For that I get to blow a few hundred dollars because of NFL Blackout rules. IT'S PRACTICE>

    If you have cable or satellite you are paying your dime.
