This Is So Bogus (Fox not showing Bama game - see sticky above)

Bama game is suppose to be on Fox Sports Net SE right now at 11AM Tuesday, and what are they showing? Try Boise State vs Oregon State. Just what we want to see in Alabama.

Thats just freakin brilliant by Fox Sports South

I was watching the end of the Panthers - Saints game here in NJ this weekend. Right after the Panthers tied the game at 20, the Saints started marching down the field. Then they cut away from the game - mid play - to go to the pre-game show for the Giants game. I had to switch to ESPN News to see final score and replays of the winning FG.

There was less than 30 seconds left in the game with the Saints inside the 50. What were they thinking? They really need to fire their program director.

Unfortunately, that is not in the hands of the program director. It is part of the NFL TV contract. If you are in an NFL team's market, that team has precedence over any other game. If that was any other team except for the Giants, they would not have cut away.

They did that yesterday too!

Yesterday, the Mike Shula show was supposed to come on and they showed CMI - Most Dominating Teams. After that they went on with regular scheduled programs which were all coaches shows.
It was very aggravating.

Had they cut away to go to the actual game, I would have understood - but they cut away for the pre-game show. The game didn't start for another 10 minutes. The Saints game ended 3 minutes after they cut away.

Stupidity - and I am a Giants fan...
