    Can someone explain the NFL "double-header" blackout rule for Sundays?

    OK. So NYC did not have a 1pm CBS game, where my CBS station did (Patriots), therefore, they could not show the Jets because they had already shown a game. That part makes sense, but what doesn't make sense is why can't they both show two games every Sunday? Is this to protect "Sunday Ticket"...

    Can someone explain the NFL "double-header" blackout rule for Sundays?

    Not sure if I have the terminology correct, but for example, last Sunday: FOX had two games on, starting at 1pm. CBS had two games on, starting at 1pm. However, in most markets, the second CBS game (in my case, the Jets/Saints game), was not shown by the local CBS affiliate because FOX...

    MLB announcers thread

    Bummer. Games no longer available on the Dish Superstation Package! :( No wonder why I hadn't seen any Dodger's games listed.

    How do you feel about the owners of your favorite teams?

    The Mets have horrible owners. Sorry, but that's how I feel. They built a new stadium as a testimonial to the Dodgers! They spend their money poorly, have a horrible minor league system, and hire mostly-moron GMs. (Heck, one of our ex-GM's does ESPN baseball because he could not get another GM...

    MLB announcers thread

    I think the Mets "Gary Keith and Ron" are excellent, and they're not afraid to kill the Mets or have fun with the broadcast. They don't play their experience over the viewers. The Red Sox announcers are pretty good as well. The subs for Jerry Remy have been good, and they do a nice job of...

    MLB to take action to reduce TV blackouts

    If MLB was smart, they would market a package by team that included every game broadcast (except the ESPN/FOX games) and charge for it. If a Cardinals fan moves to Seattle, they would be able to get every game that was shown in St Louis on cable and local free TV. Also, the poor fan who...

    ESPN Blackout of MLB Games

    It sucks. It's because the Phillies "claim" your area. Now, this has nothing to do with the fact that your local cable or satellite service does or does not carry the Phillies broadcast, it's just cut and dry. Same thing happens here in Eastern CT. The local cable company does not carry YES...

    Congrats to the Giants

    Excellent post. While the NY sports talk show talking heads were screaming that the Giants should rest everyone for that season ending game against the Pats, the coach and team geared up for and almost beat the Patriots. This gave them the confidence and attitude that got them past Tampa Bay...

    He predicted they (the Pats) would CRUSH the Giants, I believe......:D

    Another Mannning in the SuperBowl

    The Pats may have crushed some gnats, but they got beat by the GIANTS, and the "QB that is still figuring out how to throw the ball" is the MVP! So much for predictions! ;)

    Congrats to the Giants

    I keep seeing the replay of Brady at a mid week news conference smiling and saying "We're only going to score 17 points?" and outright laughing! :D He didn't do much laughing during the game.

    Super Bowl 2008: Patriots vs Giants poll!

    The Giants have a lot of young players, as pointed out during the broadcast on Fox. As for the Pats, they may have to deal with a suspended coach next year! :eek: Still, they have a team for the duration.

    Super Bowl 2008: Patriots vs Giants poll!

    That was one of the BEST Superbowl's I've ever seen. The Giants flat ass out played the best team in football. Damn! Woo-Hoo!!! :D

    Mets get Santana??

    Good news for the Mets. As for the Twins, I think that they will really like Carlos Gomez. I did. He has a lot of the "p" word (potential), and could become a great player with speed and power. It's a crap shoot, but I think he'll turn out to be a plus. Humber should have been used by the...

    Mets get Santana??

    I'll believe it when I see him in a Blue & Orange cap! :up ESPN - Mets agree to Santana deal, pending extension agreement - MLB

    Another Mannning in the SuperBowl

    The Patriots are Blu-Ray The Giants are HD-DVD I'm rooting for the underdog! ;) I love to see the side with "no chance" go on and win something they're not supposed to.

    Another Mannning in the SuperBowl

    Good job by the Giants. I love it when all of the talking heads say one thing, and the opposite happens. Now if they could only beat the Patriots. I'd love to see that network shot of Bob Kraft in the stands at the end of the game if the Giants somehow won! :D

    Pats vs Giants

    It's amazing that the government can get a football game on network TV in a matter of weeks, yet can't decide on the XM/Sirius merger in over a year.

    Mets fan looking to buy a gun.....

    I've been a Mets fan since the late '60s, and I just have to say that the way they are playing they deserve what they get in results. They had so many games at the end of the seasaon with the bottom teams in their own division and they lost most of them. The Phillies have won the important...

    Mets fan looking to buy a gun.....

    I blame Willie. He has misused his overworked bullpen all year. He seems to really suffer doing in game moves. He may handle his players well, but he has screwed up big time leaving pitchers in too long, bringing relievers in for a second inning, pinch hitting the wrong person, double switching...

    Will Joe Torres be fired if he loses the series against the Mets?

    I'm more surprised that no one has changed the title of this thread (Torre/Torres) than I am of the Yankees bad play. They really bought themselves into a hole. In reality, it's a lot more Cashman's fault than Torre's. In fact, now that I think of it, "Cashman" is a great name for a Yankee GM! :D

    A Mets fan's first trip to Shea/NY...any suggestions?

    Be prepared to get there early. The new stadium is being constructed in the parking lot, so the number of parking spaces is considerably less that normal. I have not been there this year, but from what I here, parking is a nightmare. There is not much to do around Shea, so it might be best to...

    Will Joe Torres be fired if he loses the series against the Mets?

    In the "old days", fans cheered for their team, and were mildly excited when their team beat a rival. These days, fans become so arrogant that they sometimes root harder for another team to lose then their own team to win, mostly because they want to see the other teams fans suffer. It's a...
