Will this week's game be postponed or moved due to Ike? [Yes]

[Keith]

Well, according to a quote from Aiello on PFT.com, the game will not be on DirecTV. And frankly, I'm questioning the accuracy of the Texans' email saying it will also be on ESPN2. Hmmm...

From PFT:

“Sunday Ticket is only available on Sunday,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told us via e-mail. “The Ravens-Texans game will be televised on the CBS stations in the primary and secondary markets of the Ravens and Texans.”

Here’s the problem. The NFL and DirecTV market Sunday Ticket as a way for fans of teams who don’t live where their favorite teams play to watch their favorite teams’ games. Many folks buy the entire DirecTV package not for the ability to watch every Sunday game, but to watch the one each week that involves the team whose games rarely if ever shows up on the broadcast networks in their area.

So as to all Ravens and Texans fans who don’t live in Baltimore or Houston, they’ll getting screwed out of the main reason they bought the Sunday Ticket package.

And they should get partial refunds.

We recommend not holding your breath. ...
