CBS Network Idiots!
I am sure many of you watched the Saints game on TV. In Jackson, MS., coverage was switched with around 9 minutes still left in the Saints game, to the Bengals/Bills game. Just in time to see Chad Johnson on the field for 10 minutes, to get carted off the field in a 33-21 game. Why in the hell did CBS switch the game with that much time left, just as Jacksonville scored to make it a 14 point game? Are these folks at CBS on crack? And according to information sources, the local network in Jackson had no control over this.

Re: CBS Network Idiots!
YEAH, It happened to me here in Houston. Same Game bills/bengals. Last time they did that was a couple years ago when the Saints were getting blown out. The announcer said that they were switching to a more competitive game then. I guess it's a compliment for us this time. Still sucked though

Re: CBS Network Idiots!
are saints game shown any where besides the gulf coast with out the NFL ticket?
I don't think so. A little bit last year (story book ratings and all) but it is VERY hard to be a fan of a small market team with a very bad overall record. no judgment hust an observation |
