Bleeding Green Nation is Comcastic for another year

by JasonB on Mar 23, 2010 7:07 PM EDT in Philadelphia Eagles News

So Comcast owns the SIxers, the Flyers, most of South Philadelphia, the biggest local sports network, NBC, & they just bought The700Level... Suffice to say, they're kind of a big deal in the city. So we here at BGN are happy to announce that they are back as sponsors for our site for another year. I had an opportunity to speak with some people there in recent weeks and they're big fans of the community here on BGN. It's pretty great that a company like this realizes the influence of this community. It's not just me, the contributions of everyone is makes this site great. By the way, we just had our 4 millionth unique visitor over the weekend.

We also happen to be big fans of the stuff they're offering Eagles fans. Here's just a taste of the stuff they'll be offering this year.

* Comcast's cable lineup, including NFL Network, will offer wall-to-wall draft coverage including a live broadcast of the draft

* NFL Network on Demand on Comcast will complement all the live draft coverage with profiles of the 100 top prospects available leading up to the draft

* Comcast's NFL programming will also include extensive training camp coverage, preseason game broadcasts and full coverage of Hall of Fame weekend

* During the regular season, NFL Network on Demand lets you re-watch every NFL game as soon as 24 hours following it's original airing

* The wildly successful and popular Red Zone will be back on Comcast for a second season

Every game on demand the next day? Who wants to do a weekly film review?

I wish Bud Light sponsored this site. I feel like these “advertisicles” on the main page would be hilarious if they were plugging BL.

Miller Lite's are funnier..

Atleast, last season they were.

The Eagles WILL redeem themselves in the '10-'11 season, with a win at SuperBowl 45 in Dallas!

I hate comcast with a passion.

I wouldn't go that far ...

… but I’m never switching back from DirecTV. Although I hate giving my money to Rupert Murdoch & them, their customer service is light-years ahead of Comcast.

But, just so I don’t forget how hard they are to deal with, I get to keep Comcast for high-speed internet. Which goes out once every couple months, but I keep it because it’s faaaaaaast.

Short story long, I’d like to do game reviews, but I ain’t getting Comcast. I’ll rewatch on DVR though if no one steps up!

Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring It Home For Jerome

Comcast has a way of changing your bill without telling you about it. Then their customer service people feed you bullshit about why your $90 bill just became $190 (and I am not talking about a limited time offer ending).

Although I do like Comcast sportsnet…it annoys me that a channel is owned by a cable corporation that doesn’t allow you to get their channel unless you sign up for THEIR service…thus giving you only 1 option if you want to watch the flyers or the Phillies at all.

um…except for the massive amount of natural resources I would say your right.

My cousin who used to (not sure if he still does, we’re not close) live in Philly is a lot more interested in sports management and sports business issues than I am, and I remember how impressed he was with the professionalism of the Philadelphia sports organizations in general. I don’t know how much Comcast has to do with that, but it might be a possibility.
Do they offer Internet TV as well?
