It happened! The Green Bay NBC affiliate (our Channel 26) could not reach a broadcast agreement with Time Warner Cable and “it is off the air”. My life as I know it changes. Really? I do have to worry about NBC Sunday Night NFL football in several weeks but I think I have an alternate antenna hookup. Now I am waiting for a rebate from Time Warner for not carrying NBC. Yeah, right!
I’m not sure which is bigger? Cabelas or the Green Bay Packers! Cabelas Sports complex opened on property owned by the Green Bay Packers and they’ve had people sleeping outside over night to get free deals when they officially open Thursday. Cabelas is supposed to be a hunter/fisherman’s merchandise paradise.
The Packers open training camp today. People were also sleeping outside the gate to get good seats to witness the first training session. Really? I guess I don’t understand the rabid passion of football fans. The estimate is that over 100,000 people will visit traing camp this week. Hey, it is great to be a stockholder.
This week Green Bay is the center of the universe. TV stations are going off the air, Cabelas has opened a new facility and the Packers are back. Does it get any better!
I think NBC (the official Packer station) broadcasts the annual “fan appreciation game” in two weeks. My anxiety level is going to really increase if Time Warner and NBC don’t get their act together. Such bullsh–.
Love,
Dad
