Great news to hear! You have to appreciate Ross trying to help out the fans here and not trying to be greedy...
I was not happy to pay for preseason on NFL and then see the Broncos game listed as blacked out. Atleast being a Phin fan so far away I don't get the blackout from the team I most want to watch. A preseason game blacked out come on elway WTH. Mannings payroll must really hurt.
On one hand, pathetic. On the other hand, it's a bone thrown by the owner who recognizes his team has underachieved in recent years, and the economy is crap. That, along w/ the $25/game season tix they were offering. Given the current state of things, not a bad move at all. Hopefully, it won't be necessary!
Unless you're in the greater Chicago or Denver area, you still should've been able to watch the Broncos/Bears game. It said blacked out for me, but it still loaded properly.
