Maybe the NFL should just go on strike. Seriously, would I know the difference?

I'm in Minny-Lions country and got stuck with that game. Cut costs this year and my Internet isn't high-speed so I ended up watching that game w/ the kids at home. Can't listen to the game cuz my girlfriend who has high-speed internet and Sirius is out of town. And kids have homework to do.

As I saw from updates that the Saints-Falcons was headed into overtime, and the Vikes were killing the clock, I correctly predicted that my patience would be rewarded and they would switch coverage over the Saints-Falcons game (albeit after the Vikes clock read 0:00 and a full battery of commercials).

Fox FINALLY cuts to Saints game in overtime live, just in time to show the Hartley miss. Then they cut to commercial AGAIN. Then the lead FOX guy smugly say they cannot show the rest of the Falcons-Saints OT game in-progress due to "NFL Rules". So then they yap about the Cowboys game for 10 more minutes. Then they show the ATL game winning kick 30 seconds after it happens, because, of course, they can't show it live and showing it 30 seconds later is just so much better, you know, so the announcer can say it's 'no good' as the ball is being snapped.

Just because I don't want to abandon my kids or go bankrupt doesn't mean I should be raped by a FOX.

You want the NFL? Go to the NFL. Oh, too bad.
