I have checked almost every news outlet on the web - to include Google News, Yahoo Answers, CBS.com, FOX.com, even NFL.com itself - and NONE of them will tell me the true starting times of the games today.
I know that they do this to try to maximize their Nielsen ratings for as long a time period as possible, but the level of deceit, duplicity, disingenousness and societal thought control in this unified front of media dishonesty is absolutely infuriating to me.
For instance, look at this screen capture from nfl.com:
Notice anything missing?Like the starting times of today's games?!?
From massive googling, I am led to believe that CBS's coverage of the Jets-Colts game today MIGHT start at around 3:00PM, but if I tune in at 3:00PM [or set the DVR to start recording at 3:00PM], then will the kickoff be within the next five minutes, or am I going to be subjected to 45 minutes of mindless, idiotic, sychophantic blather, and crass, disgusting, materialistic commercials before the players actually take the field?
God, this is infuriating.
You need a DVR or DCC (decaffienated coffee).
Theyre already over. Did you miss them? If so, you missed two of the greatest games ever played, in any sport. No kidding. Too bad about Bret Favre, though. Who'd have thunk it? |
Okay, how the heck did you see that coming?
