Lori Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I will go thirsty and sober to punish myself for starting this pointless thread... Don't do that. We will let you buy the first round, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 Don't do that. We will let you buy the first round, though. That certainly sounds fair and much better than my proposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCBoston Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Nope, the local Washington CBS affiliate here has told me before it is a league-enforced rule that they cannot show another football game, even a Ravens game, if the Redskins are on at the same time on another network. I had asked back when the Bills were playing the Ravens. Instead, the CBS channel showed infomercials the entire time, hardly a ratings draw. The same goes for up in Baltimore. If the Ravens are playing, no other games, even Redskins games, can be shown on a Baltimore channel. This has been the league rule for many years now: when the local team is playing at home, and the game is on local TV there, no other game can be shown against it, even on another network. This was set up to "protect" the home teams' market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Yeah, but I said it first. I don't read your posts. Never should have replied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrite Gal Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Only you could reply to a thread already settled and still manage to pound out six paragraphs of dribble. You apparently didn't read the entire thread, even though all the posts combined are shorter than many of your single posts, or you would know I was admittedly uninformed when I made the original post that you attacked. If I had known the policy only applied to home games, I would have never started this thread. Speaking of a shut-in, that seems to me like the type who would write ridiculously long posts over and over and over again. My apologies for continuing a thread which was exhausted (except for the numerous posts rehashing parts of the discussion and making the usual jokes of the community)!
