View Full Version : CBS actually gave the Bills some respect

I just watched ND beat Tennessee and almost all of the NFL ads they showed contained Bills clips. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that they're the 1 pm national game tomorrow, but it was nice to see them getting some props finally.

On a side note, the covereage of the game SUCKED. On one play, the Tennessee QB threw the ball for a 15 yard gain, but they never switched cameras so all I saw was the QB standing there. And they were commenting on the OU/A&M game which was tied 28-28. One of them came up with this brilliant gem: "This game's not over yet". I can't believe these idiots make ten times my salaray.

surprisingly yes- which means you'll see it unless it's trumped by a local team.

Well, here in NC they're showing the Panthers game in that spot. And forget CBS, have you seen the line? A 6-1 team giving only 3 points to a 2-5 team? Who cares where the game is -- you don't see matchups like that get get spreads under 7 very often. Even Vegas is giving us some love, man!

It sucks. In Raleigh, the Panthers are considered local. At least they can't preempt next week's game. It's the ESPN Sunday Night Game.

I've got you all beat on regional coverage. Here in Columbus, they consider Cinci and Cleveland local teams. For twenty years, I've been in football hell. And if one of them plays an NFC team, there is no other option!!!

(The sad part is, I'll often watch the games, anyway, for love of football, if not the teams.)

YES!

If we win and you miss it, you'll be sick. If we get tromped on, you'll be sick.

Can't afford DTV -- I'm one of the many who lost a job & got another one at $9000 less a year.

The local Bills Fan Club bar is a dive, but I do spend some time there. But on TV at a friend's house is better!

And yes, I AM playing hooky today! Don't tell the boss I'm not sick! :D

You are not allowed to work on any Sunday that the Bills play. You'll just have to make the sacrifice. :D
