Did anyone happen to catch any of the af2 games that were broadcast live and free from NiftyTV?
I watched like 5 games yesterday and yeah some of the Video wasn't the best but I was able to view the games still with no issues and I could switch between games.
Now i'm not bringing this up to talk about 'simply me' but I'm just wondering if anyone viewed any of these games and what they thought? Being able to see every game from every team is awesome IMO.
there are 2 games today If anyone didn't know and may be interested to see what its like.

yeah it was a lil confusing figuring out the Player but once I read the instructions all was well.lol
but yeah I was able to watch things like the South GA wildcats win on the final play of the game and the Daytona Beach Thunderbirds formerly the Daytona Beach Thunder of the now defunct 'wifl' score a total of 12 points in their debut as an af2 team I would say all in all with the 'AFLNET' available and watching the Force beat up on the Blaze It was a great football day.
Don't think I forgot though guys I was checking on the live scoring around the (AIFA) league
as well
If you can find a cheap video projector that accepts vga it makes all the difference in the world. I was viewing a 50 foot projected screen all day for every game and sometimes split screen

saw it last week as well. NIFTY-TV is great and when there is an audio problem they even let you know. First call all the way. Too bad the "national" SimplyME game won't be shown this weekend in Fort Myers. On the other hand, we are going to lose so bad it may be a good thing.

The 'AFL' has a total of 3 games on the Net this weekend 1 on friday night and 2 on saturday at the same time! Not the best scenario But just do like I do and switch the game at a media timeout. Then on Sunday at 2 on ESPN 2 is the "game of the week"
Then the 'af2' has a total of 11 games on the Net this weekend.( Holy cow)
1 on Friday Night
9 on Saturday night (thats big)
1 on Sunday night coincidentally right after dinner from watching ESPN 2.
This is big people! anybody that was a sceptic of the "af2" should give praise for such an effort for getting their product out. Finally It's just what we've wanted a Minor league that is givin all needs to be successful for years and years to come.
People can finally without a doubt follow their favorite team whether or not they have a ticket to go to the game or If the team is so far outta town you just can't make it!
awesome move for arena!

THe AIFA powers that be need to talk to these people after contract with simply me ends. I understand right not they are stuck since they got the money.

yeah but where's the product?
somewhere there has to be a breech of contract
nevertheless it's been proven that it can be done fairly easy with the right people doing it

THe AIFA powers that be need to talk to these people after contract with simply me ends. I understand right not they are stuck since they got the money. Do you really believe SimplyMe had $2.5 million to give away, and $0 to actually produce the product? Part of the $2.5 million is the same as the $250 million contract MLS has with Beckham. It's in implied values of certain undefinable prospects. Example: I claim to own a TV distribution network. I say my 'air time' is valued at $13,888 an hour to be broadcast nationally. I give this 'air time' for free to the league for their broadcasts. I just gave them a TV contract 'worth $2.5 million over 3 years'. Doesn't mean a penny changed hands. Sykotyk |

ok with all that and i may be wrong but i don't think stingray 53 cares about any money exchange or any a hole shaking another a hole's hand and making a deal!
I think he just wants some product from his repected league that he can view without scramblin and trying to figure out whats going on from week to week
as much as i appreciate the live scoring by the fans. the league should atleast have a live running scoreboard on their website that's being updated by them. We shouldn't have to do their job for them.

Agreed. I don't care about simplyme-TV except that in the local paper this was suppose to be a nationally televised game and is not now. But to give an opinion both the league owners and simply me have failed the fans. But first this is entertainement and not a way of life. The firecats use to entertain me but don't anymore. However the af2 still entertains me more now because of the nifty-TV. On the other hand the local Stingray team entertains me(even at 0-3) but the AIFA doesn't because the ownership has failed me the fan. Even if the simply me tv people screwed up it is the league owners who are responsible for ensuring the product would be correct. That's my thought on it anyway.
