It's that time of year again to get ready for some football. As the world knows, I follow the Pittsburgh Steelers, (not Steely McWeird). Because of the eccentricities in the high power dealings between Time Warner of New York, the NFL, the NFL Network, and the New York Jets and Giants, it can be very confusing to tell if your team will be on TV.
Like many New Yorkers, I can't get the Direct TV NFL package because I live in a rental. On most weekends to see my team I must head out to the sports bar. Yes my life is rough. But in all seriousness it is tough on the wallet and liver to do that for 17 consecutive weeks. So I created the chart above to nail down some dates when I can watch the game at home. You all are invited over for every game in Steeler Gold, as those will definitely be on my TV. For the others, I'll be at various spots around the city, doing the puzzle during pre-game, sipping a Diet Coke or a Miller Lite. Please join me.
PS I have an elaborate spreadsheet that cross pollinates this data with the Redskins schedule and also shows PSU and Tech on Saturdays (and sometimes Thursdays). It's quite pretty.
