I am already EXCITED about the soon to start but also the games from start to finish!!!!!!!!
Why doesn’t some one tell the NFL Channel and NBC not everyone can afford their air time. The air ways were designed to be free to the public. Maybe this Nation can get back on it’s feet when the Obamanation is gone.
