Not my rant, but sums up how I feel about it
Quote : | "This weekend marks the end of the college football regular season. College Football: Where Momentum Goes To Die!™ For years, after the end of the college regular season, the NFL would broadcast two afternoon games on Saturday in December. But starting last year, when the NFL Network began broadcasting its own Saturday night game, those two afternoon games suddenly, and inexplicably, disappeared.
WHAT. THE. FUCK.
This rant is aimed squarely at Paul Tagliabue, who presided over this idiotic scheduling change, and Roger "The Ginger Hammer" Goodell, who has allowed it to continue for yet another year. Listen very carefully, you two, to what I am about to say:
FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU BLIND.
Why the FUCK did you get rid of Saturday afternoon football in December? What possible purpose could it serve? Is it because you want the NFL Network game to be some kind of showcase game or some shit like that? Well, FUCK THAT. Fuck your network and fuck you. And fuck Bryant Gumbel.
"Ooh, look Cris! The (looks down at paper) Pack-ers of... Green Bay? Really? Green Bay has a team? I thought Green Bay was just a paper mill town! Anyway, the Pack-ers have scored another touchgoal! That bearded fellow throwing the goatskin is quite adept!"
I can fully appreciate a Saturday night game without being deprived of the previous games in the afternoon, thank you very much. Last I checked, the Sunday night games on NBC do just fine as part of a daylong triple-header. Ideally, December should be a time when you get an orgy of NFL football on both Sunday AND Saturday.
So why the fuck isn't this happening? I remember hearing about the advent of the Saturday night game last year and thinking to myself, "Oh, great! Now I can watch three games that day!" I was excited to watch MORE football. See how that works, Tweedledee and Tweedlebuttfucker? When I found out the day games were eliminated, I didn't think to myself, "Oh boy! Now I can really focus on that night game!" I thought, "FUCK THOSE FUCKING FUCKS. FUCK. KILL. MAIM."
I expect this kind of stupidity from college football ("Hey, this season's getting pretty exciting! Let's all take a month off!"), but not from you. Without any NFL games on Saturday, there's no football to watch at all. I have to watch college basketball a good eight years before it begins to get interesting, or the fucking Skins Game, or some other bullshit like that. It's like the offseason has already started. And the NFL offseason is already SEVEN FUCKING MONTHS LONG, okay? I don't need a reminder of that during the season, you two. Christ, it's already Week 13. I'm running out of football here, God dammit!
These games are precious to me. I'd like to watch as many of them as possible. If you restore the Saturday afternoon games, fans like me can, you know, FUCKING WATCH THEM, and make even more money for the TV networks, and for you. See how that works? I'm blindly loyal to your product. Yet you seem to view this as some sort of problem. Why would you scrap those games? Now I gotta spend my December Saturdays talking to my wife, or reading, or carving my initials into my arm, or going fucking Christmas shopping. GAH, Christmas shopping! See what you two have reduced me to?
Two years ago, Tiki Barber and Larry Johnson staged one of the best fantasy back duels in recent memory on a Saturday afternoon. I remember watching it in a bar. It was awesome. And now, such a lovely Saturday afternoon is no longer possible. Why? Fuck if I know. So, Paul and Rog:
BRING THE FUCKING SATURDAY AFTERNOON GAMES BACK OR I WILL FIND YOU AND TEAR OFF YOUR SCROTUM AND THEN WIPE MY ASS WITH IT AND THEN FEED IT TO YOU." |

it's because they invented the NFL network, so they have to find some games to show on there. 12/6/2007 3:50:51 PM |

I agree in principle with what he is saying. I don't understand why the NFL is going out of it's way to not allow people to watch it's product when the demand is evident. Yeah I realize they are trying to promote the fucking NFL Network, but if they really wanted to accomplish that they would still schedule three Saturday games and then show all three on the NFL Network.
Anyway it is bullshit that there will not be any football to watch this Saturday. 12/6/2007 5:35:09 PM |

on this note im pretty sick of all these new sports networks that are being started and stealing games so you have to be a member of this or that to watch. It seems like growing up it was either your team was on tv on a regular station, or you weren't televised. now it's strategic ploys to make TWC buy ESPN 15 because everyone is pissed they couldnt see this or that game. 12/6/2007 7:45:56 PM |

i cant really take his argument seriously if he thinks a great game was what helped him out in his fantasy league.

They do have a cowboys network, it's called nfl sunday ticket and you can get it with a satellite dish. Either: A) Get a dish, B) move to dallas, or C) Shut the fuck up12/7/2007 4:54:23 AM |
