I'm kind of nervous, because the only other game I got to watch this year on my HDTV Big Screen was the Vikings game and a loss.....lol

█ NO GAME due to local team at home on CBS

Can someone explain to me the rationale of the NFL or the tv networks decision to screw AZ out of the Fox double header(Rams game) just because they're putting the local Cardinals on CBS?
This is common practice from time to time in most cities. I just don't understand it.

Finally, I get to watch a game on TV. It's about damn time.

I believe it's contractual. I think only one station gets to have a doubleheader each week.

Over here Sky are showing the Seahawks at the Jags. Fuming!

That's because Florida is super popular among a lot of Brits.

Up until 2008, the number of British xpats living in Florida was greater than those that lived in Spain. That's especially true for the Jacksonville area as well as the southern Gulf Coast...from Tampa south.

Shame tho, cuz this one looks to be a good one.

Hopefully, you can stream it...

Right and that's what i'm asking. This week its Fox with the double header but since the Cardinals(local team) are on CBS i only get 1 gm on Fox and 1 game on CBS.

I just don't understand the logic of getting blacked out of Fox's 2nd gm when the local team is on a different network.

Well, I'm wrong. It's a NFL rule. I can't tell you why it exists:
http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/12/08/nfl-rules-for-tv-doubleheader-broadcasts/

By NFL Rules, a station may not broadcast the second game of a doubleheader if there is a “home” game on at the same time.

http://fox11online.com/sports/packers-and-nfl/a-primer-on-the-rules-for-broadcasting-nfl-games

Even if it is a Fox doubleheader Sunday, Fox 11 can't air a game at the same time as a Packers home game. So, while Week 5 may be a Fox doubleheader Sunday, the NFL prohibits us from showing a noon game opposite the Packers game on CBS. The same rule applies that on a CBS doubleheader week, WFRV can't air a different game during a Packers home game on Fox 11. (So, WFRV can't air several noon games). The only exception to this is Week 17, when both networks get two games because of playoff implications.

My only guess is that the teams agreed to this to reduce competition in the home team's city.

Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed myself. I'm sick of watching the Hawks out here. Where you at in the Portland area?

Where you at in the Portland area?

Well, just about 20 miles north of Portland - in Washington actually, in Ridgefield (although we're actually in the county - at the edge of the Internet - w/CenturyStink and the worst Internet known to man...)

Blame your neighbors, but don't egg their houses on my suggestion!



Seahawks are rated the most popular team there because of the proximity so you get their games 95% of the time.
