NFL TV regulations..

....prevent CBS from showing the entire nation the end of the Browns / Ravens game. This is asinine! CBS should be allowed to show all of the 1pm games in their entirety. If that means OT, so what? They paid for the rights to a game they should be able to broadcast it. If someone wants to turn on the 1st quarter of the Fox late game, then let them. It'll balance out between the two over the long run. Stupidity, the NFL has it.

I agree with you 110%. This is a terrible rule and when games like this are going on, it only makes sense to show the game to the rest of the country, especially if that's the only other game on. It's a terrible rule and I think we should start a petition.

Yeah, like the NFL gives a rats arse about its fans? I guess if you got the game from the beginning you get to watch it until it's done, but other than that, tough noogies past 4:15!

I'm sure if we got enough people to go along with it, we could get some work done

You have some billionaire friends? Cuz I don't! hehehehe You'd think if the NFL really cared so much about money they'd make sure the Sunday ticket were available to as many people as possible!

It's worth a shot. What do we have to lose? If we try to bring people together and petition the NFL to destroy that rule, there's always hope. You just need to bring people together to do it. If it doesn't happen, at least we can say we tried.

I have to give CBS some credit, at least they were showing each Cle/Bal play right after it happened. On ESPNews when Mich was being upset by App St. on Big Ten Network, I had to just sit and watch the anchors watch the game on a side monitor... for 15 minutes!!! While they said things like "What and incredible play!!!" and "I can't believe my eyes! Did I just see what I saw!!!" it was one of the most annoying and painstaking times I've ever endured as a sports fan... but I wanted to know how the game ended.
