BBI'ers in Boston area...Fox is still screwing us...

most of Florida including the Tampa & Miami areas gets the Giants game, Orlando does not. I can empathize with you. I'll have to use a crappy stream from Eastern Europe again.

Was told it is out of their control. Bob Kraft wins again in his efforts to keep the Giants out of New England. Note the switch in Portland and Bangor ME: STL-CIN to NYG-WSH

Go Giants !!

I knew it was just an act in futility to try and get them to switch… This is just pathetic but thankfully for my birthday in September, a family member gave me GamePass. And if you download the Giants app on your device, you'll get the Papa/Banks broadcast. Not bad, but better than some of those seamy streaming sites with their endless pop ups and terrible streams.

this sucks. i wonder how its out of their control...i honestly don't know who gets the final say in such things

in the NYC metro market and the market the Giants are playing.

Anything else is fair game.

Come join the rest of out of town fans who don't get it so good each week.

over what games to show.

I live in Philly, and a number of years ago when the Eagles weren't playing on Sunday, the Daily News would do a poll where you'd actually vote for the game you wanted to see. The game would play with the highest votes.

Now, perhaps the TV contract has changed, but I don't think Kraft should have any say over what airs. FOX should be worried about ratings IMO, and the Giants game is the game to show.

I don't think Kraft has the say IMO, but I could be wrong. Furthermore, promote your league and don't be a jerkoff. Your fans probably want to see the Giants, and see them lose.

Sometimes the Giants are not shown when there is a conflict with a Patriots game. It is infuriating to live in NYS and not get the game.

A conflict is different......then the Pats should get the call.

The Pats play on Sunday night.

You're telling me a NE sports fan who follows football doesn't want to watch a rivalry game?

LOL...would NYC ever not show the Pats because of Patriot dislike?? Of course not, we'd want to them to lose, and see it LIVE!!!!!

has StL-Cincy.
WHY, I have no f-bomb clue.
Guess that to the NFC network the battle for 1st in NFCE is LESS important than an AFC team with a good record and a dumpster fire NFC team..
You can't make this stuff up.

That Kraft comment is what Ive been saying for years.
Fox-P occasionally runs movies on Fox double game Sundays.
Wonder who buys the airtime...hmmmmmmmmmm? Fanthom of Foxboro?

I'm in Gloucester from out of town. Can anyone recommend places to watch--in Boston or between here and there? Thanks.

so their games didn't compete against the Giants when the AFL first started. The New England states were "Giants Country" back then. There are still a lot of older Giants fans up there.

during the '02 season, most of their games didn't conflict with the Pats & usually aired. I don't know how it was in the Boston area though.

is up to the local affiliate when the local team is not involved.

That's my understanding as well, which is why them saying it's out of their hands is BS.

just go to a sports bar

he grew up a Giants fan, I doubt he wants nor can actually keep the Giants off air.

Also, the NFL is a business, hard to think if they could, they would NOT show the Giants in NE, where they would get better ratings.
