Eagles are on a bye this week so I'm literally at the mercy of the scheduling gods as to what games I get. Luckily, the 2 different CBS affiliates I get are showing 2 different games at the 1:00 timeslot in addition to the game I get on Fox. The bad news, I am stuck with "America's Game Of The Week" on Fox in the late afternoon (random aside: CBS is so much better than Fox in every facet of sports coverage that it's not even funny). (all times ET; games I get are in bold)
Map of who gets what CBS game.
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Dallas Cowboys 1:00 (CBS - Jim Nantz and Phil Simms)

Vikings v. Patriots will be a good game and you know it. Every game the Vikes have played has gone down to the wire (excluding the Lions). As a Pats fan myself, the Patriots are a good team to watch especially now Deion is back. While you can argue the Vikes suck, you cant argue that the Pats are good. A team that plays close games and has talent vs. A really good football team is a good watch. Don't try to be the douchebag contrarian who thinks the Rams vs. Panthers is a thrilling matchup that is a better watch than vikes/pats.
ReplyDeleteSidenote: If you were referring to Fox's coverage and Troy Aikman as the "bad news" then I dont blame you one bit.
Over/Under 10 minutes until Jim Nantz and Phil Simms decide to kill the people at CBS that put them on the Boys/Jags game.
Horrendous lineup on CBS.
ReplyDeleteAnd 4-2 vs. 3-4 = Pitts Game of the Week. I guess that's not shocking as I bet FOX wasn't expecting this weeks in advance.
@ T-H-E: I was referring to Fox's coverage and Thom and Troy more than the game itself and the fact that it is the only option I have in the late afternoon in case the game is a blowout, not the actual game itself.
