Jedi-Falcon Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I am trusting he wont let this happen. This will be one of the most embarassing moments of this franchise's history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Maybe if we promised to show videos of Michael Vick working out in the prison yard on the big screens all the morons would show up in their Vick jerseys on and their pants down. It would be an unfriendly environment for children, but atleast we would get to see the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceReville Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 According to 99% of the country we already are the laughing stock of the NFL - I hope the Falcons make them eat their words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaud Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Since I don't live in Georgia I don't give a **** about blackouts considering It looks like Fox has decided to literally black every Atlanta game out in South Carolina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarollna5 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 i wish i had season tickets... I am coming for the Bucs game though... Won't do you much luck in helping the blackout scenario. Arthur has enough money why not just buy the remaining tickets out if a TV station doesn't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon as we get some wins the bandwagon fans will come back and we'll stop being blacked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarollna5 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 i agree with showing videos of vick in the prison league. Highlights or something. We would have people waiting an hour deep to get tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottbravesfan Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 It would be nice if Atlanta actually supported one of their sports teams, just once. But on the flip side Atlanta isn't the only team having troubles with black outs. Kansas City, Minnesota, Oakland, Jacksonville, Miami, Houston are all having trouble selling out their games.

Only reason I am going there is to see my brother - lazy shyt won't come here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarollna5 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 you all are the lucky ones. I was ripped from atlanta at age one and moved to Cincinnati of all places. Its way too much for a poor college kid like me to make it, so for my 21st I get the Bucs trip. Pin the expenses on the parents haha.

atljbo Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 yea.... Ive heard that if the game is blacked up.......They will show it as a tape delay like matt ryans first start(preseason).........The dome only have about 2,500 more tickets to sell by Thursday or Friday...... i feel like Arthur Blank and the Sponsors can just buy the left over tickets....This is the Dawn of his no franchise QBI cant like....before my brother passed away in 07.....i was to busy with school and studio....He used to buy our season tickets...... Now im just to lazy to do it (so i cant complain) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur has enough money why not just buy the remaining tickets out if a TV station doesn't?TV in the Atlanta market is nothing to Blank... No skin off Blank's back other that his product(the Falcons) does not get promoted.It's the station that needs to buy the tickets so they can make revenue from the ads. Other wise no one will tuning in to whatever they try to show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durrdbyrd Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I really wanted to be there this weekend but I can't afford the extra tank of gas it takes to get from Augusta to Atlanta and back...F'n economy man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarollna5 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 i wish they would actually show the atlanta game here. Every sunday i have to drive 30 minutes just to get to a place that has direct tv for the games. Too cheap to buy the NFL ticket. They literally showed 0 falcons games here last year. I can't really blame them though... But I try to catch everyone of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarollna5 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 well looks like im getting used to the message board world quicker than i thought. Finally got myself a decent sig for now, still working out the kinks though. Also I believe that someone will buy out the tickets left....also R.I.P don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in South Florida for 13 years and I feel your pain. The only way to watch the games was to find a sports bar and bribe someone to turn it on or make the trip to ATL. I did get to go to the Superbowl although it really hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
