I received the dreaded email from DirecTv today that informed me that Telemundo isn't offered in my area. So my options were limited with how I could spend my Saturday night - there were two:
1) Turn off the tv. Don't log on to the internet. Refuse to answer the phone (because I know that my friends and family would want to talk about how the Cowboys played). Basically, I would need to become a recluse for the whole day so that I could watch a tape-delayed broadcast on Sunday on the NFL Network and have this hollow feeling that I was watching the game live without knowledge of its outcome. This option has a huge downside for me because I usually crack under pressure and become desperate to find out how the Cowboys have fared in their first preseason game. Plus, one will usually get the best information from this website while the game is in play before the knuckleheads show up and start bickering amongst themselves the following day.
2) Track the game live on the internet. NFL.com usually does a good job of providing real-time stats and then I could surf over here to get more feedback from all of you. I can also listen to the game live on internet radio by going to this very reliable website:
http://thegamelive.com/footballnfl.html#nfc
The website will give you several radio stations as options that are bound to carry the Cowboys game live (normally has a 3-5 second delay).
Weighing both of my options, I have to confess that #2 looks pretty good to me right now. So that's what I'm choosing to do plus I noticed that the NFL Network will be flipping back and forth to all the preseason games scheduled that evening, perhaps I'll get lucky and catch a little bit of the game on tv as well. Then, I get to look forward to watching the tape-delayed broadcast of the game in its entirety on Sunday at 5:00 pm est on the NFL Network.
Hopefully, these options will be helpful to those of you that are in the same predicament as me.
Good luck to all and enjoy the game!

. I know that there are a few that feel as you do, HeavyHitta. But my post was really intended for those that fall into the catagory of "diehard fans". I'm one of them and I'm certain that I'm not alone here. So it's almost guaranteed that there are some that will find this information quite useful.
