I don't accept your "payment" buddy, but I will be there so I don't have to worry :)

Barring some miraculous last minute sales or Kroger (or some other big name company) purchasing them, I don't see this game getting sold out. Rumor is they asked for an extension so we won't know for sure til late Thursday or Friday morning.

You being a technology guy and you don't know how to stream them?

Dear sweet moses, please help me.

I know that, hun. All I'm asking is this. Does ANYONE know for sure yet if the game is blacked out? I DO NOT know how that works. Unfortunately, I have tried to get an answer on this so long, I have to go. I was going to get a ticket, based on an intelligent answer, but screw it.

As of today, the game is blacked out. The determination will not be made until:
1. The Bengals don't ask for an extention and tell us it is blacked out Thursday morning.
2. Tell us it is sold out by Thursday morning.
3. Ask for extension and let us know outcome by Friday morning.

If not sold out, blackout rules apply so anyone (I thought it was 100 miles) is blacked out. Dircect TV or not, it is blacked out if not sold out in time.

No. No one knows yet for sure. Not me, not Mike Brown, and not Sweet Moses. whodey1302 has guaranteed there is going to be some interplanetary tectonic distortion which will displace all of Philadelphia to within 75 miles of Cincinnati. If that happens by noon on Thursday, there may be enough of an influx of extra people to buy the remaining tickets. If his promise doesn't happen until the weekend, it currently looks like the game will be blacked out.

Thank you. That's what I was asking. I just didn't know how it all worked. I wish you a long and prosperous life, and I repped ya'.

But won't that move the greater Cincinnati area to, St. Louis?

I'm going to the hobby store, buy about 25 cases of those model rocket engines, mount them onto my DirecTV dish, and launch it into orbit. And then beam the Bengals game to a big piece of plywood, with foils wrapped all around it.

I wish I had those powers.

I'd be located significanlty closer to wherever Kate Upton is, that's for sure.

I think I'd be west of the 'Ol Miss. God I'd hate to have to start learning those K stations.

If a game is broadcast on the local station, it is blacked out on the corresponding DirectTV NFL Ticket channel. If the local station changes their feed due to the game being a blowout or something, it then becomes available on the NFL Ticket. Sometimes I takes a few minutes before it is un-blacked out following the switch of the local feed, but I have never had any problem.

Sometimes if you turn to the NFL Ticket channel right away after the local station switches to a different game, it will still be blacked out, but just give it a couple minutes

THe Giants/Bengals game never came on Sunday Ticket after they stopped showing it on Fox.
