I looked up the NFL Network and checked the preseason schedules. They had the Pitt vs Arizona game for Sat afternoon, but they also had a small print phrase that stated that games will be blacked out in local markets. If this is true then I'm ticked.

Why? Do you live in Pittsburgh or Arizona? If not then it won't be blacked out. All NFL teams are required to air the games on free network television in their local markets, so it will be on, just not NFL network.

All of Pittsburgh's preseason games will be televised on either the NFL network or ABC. Plenty of chances to see Omar win his spot.

Everyone should be able to catch Redd and Magner on Friday night at 8pm. The Atlanta Falcons' game with New England is supposed to be televised on CBS.

So will NFL Network in our area of BG will have the game? Or will ESPN be carrying it? I don't have sat or cable but my friend has Direct Tv and has NFL Network. I wasn't thinking of local market being just Pittsburgh or the Arizona area but I should've.

Really? Awesome!! Man, can't wait. I hope Magner and Redd get good time to play and show their stuff.
