    1st rnd playoff blackouts?

    "Blackouts aren't just a regular season thing, they can happen in the playoffs too and if the Bengals, Packers and Colts don't start selling more tickets soon, those three fan bases could be left in the dark this weekend."...

    Not surprised about CIN. With surely the most rapacious stadium contract ever, casual fans (taxpayers) have little love for Mike Brown & Co. Add in the false seating chart when the new stadium was under construction that made folks pony up for PSLs for better seats than they got, and the successful suit against the club when they tried to claim that PSL owners were obligated to buy years' worth of season tickets and proceeded to send out attorney demand letters.

    Guess the nfl is pricing themselves out in a lot of communities other than buffalo

    We can't exactly point fingers. Today is the 21st anniversary of the comeback game- I didn't see it til 2005 when they made a DVD because it was blacked out in WNY.

    Dress properly and it's certainly more comfortable at 0 degrees than some of the games in Tampa I've gone to.
