I hate the NFL

9 December, 2007

Ok, no, I don’t hate the NFL - in fact, I really love watching football - but the only feeling I can muster when I see a game distribution map like this is ARGHHHH. Everyone in the country gets a 4:15pm EST football game on CBS except for the Bay Area?? The vast majority will get to see the Steelers and Patriots play, the poor NY metro area gets the Jets-Browns but in San Francisco? Nothing. I can see it now: Pittsburghs pulls off a crazy upset tomorrow and beat New England… and I don’t get to see a minute of the game.

Yes, it’s true, I could go to a sports bar that has DirecTV Sunday Ticket and watch the game, but that just means that I would be surrounded by the smug Boston/New-England frat boys that tend to congregate on Sunday afternoons…

The Bay Area is terrible for watching football.

It’s all your fault, NFL.
