Interesting. Last week, vs. OAK, it made sense since HI was grouped with the Bay Area. This week, though, you're getting the MN announcers:

Out of curiosity: is it because of a high number of Minnesotans in Hawaii?

Can't be any worse.

"Will Oakland go for two points here? I don't know, they'll have to do the try from the 15 yardline."

That is really funny how they have decided to activate that channel tonight. My cable box is saying the channel is off-air, but clearly, that is not the case. I am going to miss full HD cable once my vacation at home is over. :/

Cool. I didn't know RedZone was active during preseason games. Thanks for the info.

By the way, this has nothing to do with the game but the PP is reporting that the Vikings and Cchris Kluwe have reached a settlement, to be finalized next week. Here's a link which I also posted in the Kluwe mega-thread):

I know this is a game thread and not the place to discuss the subject. I just thought I'd let people know about it and this seems to be where everyone is focused at the moment. :)

Heads up on NFLN. They're replaying today's game at 1am tonight. My DVR's set, wish I could see it live.
