What's the deal with sopcast?

I just checked the schedule on the sopcast site
http://streamednfl.blogspot.com/
And it looks like the Viking/Lions game is the ONLY one not covered!
Since I'm going to be in the Interior this weekend (Again, I missed the Atlanta game too) I'm pretty bummed out i won't be seeing the game.

Any one know of any other alternatives on getting the game online?
Please help!

I have been listening via streaming radio with the NFL.com game center on and the message board game thread, and it has been fun.

I suspect because it says "Fox" that it will be broadcast via another program (possibly TVUplayer) similarly to last week. Which is unfortunate because I could not get whatever software was used in last week's game to work for me.

But I did see several people being able to view the game through this method so you might not be out of luck yet.

That's what I do also. I have NFL Access and will listen while hanging out here on the board. Usually a pretty good time.

Although Sopcast shos that it will air the Vikings game, I don't want to take any chances.
So where is the Streaming radio link on NFL.com?
I've searched their site and can't seem to find it.

"Sopcast" is a peer to peer streaming network - it's not a business, not a person, not even a non-profit organization. If a feed of the Vikings game failed to materialize it just means that no Vikings fans chose to put the stream online. Probably not too surprising, statistically speaking, coming out of one of the smallest TV markets in the country.

Thats a shame, Vikings is not my absoult fabourite team but its Minesota and it would be fun to watch sometime

I was disapointed last week to find that every game was on sopcast but not the Vikes. I found that they are not on the list of teams that are covered each week. The good news is that almost every team we play is covered. The games that we absolutely won't get are the detroit game, the san fran game, and the washington game. The games that we MIGHT get are the dallas, san diego, and denver games. Every other game should be on. I don't know if this is a revelation to anyone because I am new to the sopcast arena, but I thought I would share my findings because it is important to me to watch the games. Lets cross our fingers this week with KC.
