I wasn't counting that damned pay-per-view game on Peacock, because quite a lot of us are going to miss that one. I know I sure am, unless my wife works some sort of ubergeekmistress streaming magic (which, I guess, she'll probably do).I think that it is 5 national broadcasts this season. There are the four in a row starting with Thanksgiving, and then Week 1 in Brazil is the 5th game. Of course, any of the three after Thanksgiving could be flexed out, so tough to use the word guaranteed.
Actually, though, if we have the kind of season most of us expect, it's likely we'll get flexed into some prime time games the last few weeks, so I guess there's that. Just feels odd knowing I may not see a single Packer game until Thanksgiving. The nearest bar is 45 miles away.
And Rodgers will have played 6 national, prime-time games by that time.
I guess for those of us who live out of state, this is just the way it's going to be for a couple of years - just like when Aaron was first coming up. First couple of years with Rodgers, nobody cared much about Green Bay except Packer fans, but by the end of the 2010 season, we were the hottest team on TV. Many years, I saw as many as 12 or 13. It'll probably be the same way with Love as he pays his dues.
Oh, I just remembered. If I don't drive down to Music City for the Titans game, that'll probably be my regional game. They're just 200 miles down the street from me.
