The Big Cat Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 NFC team playing in our stadium=Fox That makes no sense to me. As I understand CBS = AFC, Fox = NFC. This game begins at 10am for the NFC team, so why Fox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 That makes no sense to me. As I understand CBS = AFC, Fox = NFC. This game begins at 10am for the NFC team, so why Fox? He already explained it. The broadcasts are based on the conference of the visiting team. Always have been. Therefore, the Seattle and San Fran games will be carried by FOX whether they're 1 p.m. or 4 p.m. starts. The only exceptions are the "national" games on ESPN/NBC/NFL networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when the NFC visits the AFC they do the switcheroo. Vice versa applies. I think I have that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, the Giants game was on FOX; Cowboys game would have been if it wasn't scheduled for primetime instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilly Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 When are the Bills on Univision? Nono, you've got the wrong team. They're the Toronto/Buffalo Bills, not the Mexico/Buffalo Bills. *ducks the incoming storm from saying Toronto/Buffalo Bills* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordio Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 That makes no sense to me. As I understand CBS = AFC, Fox = NFC. This game begins at 10am for the NFC team, so why Fox? How long have you been watching the NFL? Your going to be asking a stupid question like this? Fox airs the games between the AFC vs NFC that the NFC team is the visitor & CBS airs the games where the AFC is the visitor. It has been like that for as long as I could remember.

Gordio Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 It's "you're"........what color is that kettle? I never put em in & I have been called out on it before. I just do not feel like taking the time. I also think it is pretty silly for people to call out other posters for proper grammar on a football board. But hey, if it makes you feel like a big man, go right ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're insulting someone for not being as smart as you, it usually is a good idea to use proper English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said he was'nt(there is that proper grammar for you) as smart as me or smarter. All I said was that it was a stupid question. If you have watched the NFL even as a casual watcher, you would realize pretty quickly that this is how the networks work in televising games. But as usual, there are a couple posters on the board that just can not wait to correct somebody. I know it is probably about 120 degrees in Texas right now & you can not go outside your house until sometime in mid September due to the weather conditions, but really, get a life.

Sorry, I am not on the board 24 hours a day like you are, I am usually only on the board during work hours. My apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
