I can't watch the games on the NFL Network, because the rights to the Thursday Night games in Canada are owned by Sportsnet.  Of course, that's basic cable, so it's a total non-issue.

I have cable and saw it. 

Lucky you. Time-Warner refuses to pay the NFL for the rights to carry the NFL Network, so no Thursday games for Time-Warner subscribers here in NY.

Which is another reason that the Thursday Night games showed up:  To increase consumer pressure on Time-Warner.  Probably a mistake, since cable companies couldn't care less about consumer pressure.

That's pretty odd, considering the NFL doesn't charge anybody to carry it in the first place.
Comcast sued them when they stopped getting the NFL feed because Comcast was charging subscribers for something the NFL was providing to cable companies for free.

Revenge of the Iraqi detainees: Brett Favre jokes
    * NFL

You think you know how to torture, America? Waterboarding is for schoolchildren. Detainees locked in an internment camp in Iraq are mocking their captors -- members of the Wisconsin National Guard -- with Brett Favre jokes.

Evil bastards!

It all started when the National Guardsmen began decorating their trucks and other areas of Camp Cropper with Packers colors recently. The prisoners picked up on it, did some research (Wiraqipedia?), and began with the Favre barbs. What goes around comes around, I suppose. I blame Dick Cheney.

    "They know Favre by name," said First Lieutenant Tim Boehnen, who is from New Richmond, Wis.

    "One of the big words they know now is shenanigan. They'll constantly talk about 'Favre shenanigans,' 'He's so good for the Vikings,' and 'The Packers have got to really feel bad about that one.' "

    According to Boehnen, it started when troops there started decorating their camp in Packers colors.

    "They obviously then started up the conversations, and started talking about Brett Favre. They soon learned about Favre going to the Vikings, and things just started going downhill from there."

    Boehnen said soccer is the main sport that detainees pay attention to there, so there's not exactly a Vikings fan club chapter in Iraq.

    "They'll hear guards talking about it, and then they pick up a lot of stuff from that, too," said Boehnen. "They're very crafty. They learn different stuff from different ways."

Once they learn a little more about football, they can start increasing the pressure: Like calling for Matt Flynn to replace Aaron Rodgers, or making fun of cheese.

And wait'll they learn that Joseph McCarthy is from Wisconsin. Oops. Do they have Internet access?

Fuckers likely called the field a "pitch" though.

Check out the Indy/Bawlmer line.  I'm betting the house on Indy.

Damn.  Peyton Manning against those Ravens cornerbacks?  Either that line is fucked, or somebody in Vegas knows something that we don't.  Maybe Peyton's legs were crushed last night by a falling Sony Bravia TV?
