If I move out of the VA area I might have to see how much for just Sunday Ticket. After going FIOS, I dont think I can go back!~

What's wrong with wikipedia? That is a great site.
I was just going to say I thought it was 2010 cause I saw it on TV, but Wikipedia backed me up.


What is FIOS?

I wouldn't put all my eggs in a Wikipedia basket. Even though they did recently put in a tracker which kind of lets them know who is putting stuff in, but even then that doesn't mean that everything on there is true.

I have yet to see where they are wrong.
Do you have a link or something that backs up your statement?

since you don't trust wikipedia for some reason, here are other sites:
NFL inks $11.5 bil pacts with CBS, Fox, DirecTV
No ‘NFL Sunday Ticket’ for Cable - 11/9/2004 11:40:00 AM - Multichannel News

All sites report the 2010 signing.

"For some reason". :cheeky-sm

How about because they can (and do) write anything they want to in their entries. They're wrong often, especially on history-related stuff. They also have a certain political bias that affects their data. That's been thoroughly documented. Sometimes it resembles the National Enquirer more than the Britannica.

I never trust Wiki and try to find backup sources before I believe anything from their site.

I knew about the Sunday Ticket contracts already though...just agreeing with Daseal and Cowell about Wiki.

Yeah Wiki isn't exactly a very reliable source.

I have yet to see where they were wrong. Maybe I don't visit the site enough or something.
But still, I asked for some sort of link proving that they are not always accurate, and no one has provided it.

Re: nfl network gone?

Thanks for the links guys. I will definitely look at wikipedia in a different light now. No wonder you guys didn't take it as 100% legit. While I am sure the majority is correct, you never know what is incorrect.

I think there's something called Wikiscanner now that tells you who's editing what.

Wikipedia is usually accurate, but it never hurts to have a second source to confirm
