Thanks for the post John. A story I already knew but nice to see again.
And now NBC stands for:
(N)othing
(B)ut
(C)rap
They don’t even carry pro football anymore. And before you point out college games, you might want to consider this: anything less than professional level sports is just pedophilia masquerading as entertainment. Just ask Penn State’s Uncle Joe!
(And if you’re into High School sports but not a student/parent/teacher then you’re just flat out sick!)
FYI Anonymous – NBC carries the Sunday night football game every week. I believe they even have a flex agreement worked out with the NFL to make sure it’s one of the best games of the weekend.
Blurgh! 4×3 is not 16×9.
Whether its the real game or not – its anyone’s guess
It is sometime held by people in know – and knowledgeable
that the real purpose behind pro football is to provide for the gambling trade something to work with for people to bet on
and that the real reason for Monday night football is to create a vehicle for gamblers to win back ( or try to) what they lost betting on games and other bets on the last weekend
Football is for drunks, idiots and gamblers, and the three aren’t mutually exclusive.
Most popular sport in America.
Makes sense.
