I have a 94 year old grandfather who has been a loyal Cowboys fan since 1960. My sister and I had to put him into an assisted living facility in January. We moved him from our hometown of Beaumont to suburban Houston so that he is just a few miles from my sister.
He has been going nuts this NFL preseason because the Cowboys games haven't been on TV. They aren't even available on radio in Houston. This is to "protect" the Texans. I looked through their schedule, and there are three times this season that Fox in Houston won't be allowed to air a game in their time slot because they can't put a game up against the Texans.
This is garbage. There are a ton of Cowboy fans in Houston. In the years between the Oilers and Texans, a 100,000 watt FM station carried Cowboy games and got very good ratings. There aren't many things in life that my grandfather still enjoys, but the Cowboys are one of them. I had considered driving him up here tomorrow night for their last preseason game, but he requires skilled nursing. My sister is going to take a laptop to his room and go through their radio stations one by one to see if any stream the game.
