He can't be much worse than Dick Stockton.

I actually wish I didn't get the game. Picture is 1000X better on my satellite dish.

BOOO Cable TV!

That may be the smallest geographic area I have ever seen for a birds game. hopefully no earthquake this weekend at the sportsbar. on second thought I didn't have to witness that performance in New Orleans due to the ensuing blackout.

Week 3 at SF was about the same. (Everyone else was watching NY/Seattle)

I always wonder how those people in the white spots on the map feel. They aren't even good enough to get Green Bay and Miami.

They have home games on CBS. When you're home team is playing at home, that's the only game you can get at that time.

Provided your team sells enough tickets. And considering those white spots...it ain't happening.

Well yea...but not here. Houston, Kansas City, Buffalo and Atlants all have CBS home games at 1. Thus no Fox game. The one in California makes no sense, they should be getting 2 fox games. Perhaps they haven't decided on which one yet?

As for Philly, it looks like our CBS opted not to compete with the Eagles game (even though they could) and will instead show Denver/Cleveland at 4. Skins at Colts, which shouldn't be much of a game, is at 4 on Fox.

No listings yet since it's a CBS game, but we're getting Gumbel/Dierdorf $:-\$

#1 1pm game then. CBS has the DH, I think it's Colts at Broncos. So a good portion of the country should get the game.

4pm game in Philly will be Rams at Chargers. Not bad, actually.

I'm only going to get 14 NFL games on my TV this weekend.

SunMo · October 24, 2006, 09:22:09 AM
