Thanks to the blackout rules, fans are already getting used to not seeing as much football on Sundays as it is.
Here in the NY/NJ metropolitan area, there is a nasty war going on between Cablevision and News Corp; the latter owns Fox TV and some other local stations. They want Cablevision to pay some mega multi-million dollar fees in order to be allowed to carry their programming. They’ve been at an impasse for a couple of weeks, during which News Corp has pulled the plug on their programming for Cablevision, including the National League Baseball Playoffs, The World Series, and the NFC programming on Sundays (to say nothing of House, Glee, and their other popular shows.) I listened to one football game on the radio (for the first time in about 40 years) and I realized I can do without the whole shebang. A plague on both their houses.
