*edit - Being down there in Chesapeake, you may be out of the "local" area, and therefore are not able to get it anywhere but on NFLN.

I think your right about the Tidewater area but I do have dish network so thats not the problem. I wish it was on regular TV then I could tell all the people coming over to stay at home. I don't mind a few people over but last week it was like people just kept showing up and saying that they would be back for the Skins game. This week will be worse with the Skins playing and people know I'll be out in the garage with the wood stove cranking.
