1. If NBC could steal back the NFL from FOX, I'd never need to watch.
With the exception of The Simpsons. And even then, by that time it would be cancelled.

4. It sucks to be a Vikings fan watching FOX NFL...
Because we always get that douche Brian Baldinger doing the announcing of our games. Real right-wing douche.

6. I know the feeling. We had Troy Aikman...

And some other rightwing hack doing the Pats / Seahawks game last week.

8. I think the reason we always get Baldinger is because...
Kurt Meneffee (who is a Minneapolis resident and announcer for the Vikings Preseason Television Network/FOX NFL Minnesota affiliate announcer) was partnered up with Baldinger.

9. Surprisingly, Aikman is good on TV
I thought with all those concussions, he would be about brain-dead by now. He has really good insight and mixes well with Joe Buck & Collinsworth.

7. Makes me glad to be a Broncos fan
Over here in Arizona they show almost all the Bronco games on CBS because they are the best team in the region, on Fox the Broncos are on there twice but with my luck, they always show the Cardinals in the same timeslot and Fox makes me watch those games! :argh:

11. Broncos are AFC, that's why CBS carries them most of the time.
My Vikes are on CBS tomorrow, but that's because we're hosting an AFC team. All NFC/NFC daytime games and games where the NFC team is on the road at an AFC team are on FOX. Vice-versa for CBS.

12. I know

Because of the fact they're on CBS most of the time is why I'm glad I don't have to see Fox coverage most of the time. About 80% of the time Denver is on Fox I don't see it because they always show the home team Arizona over it. The fact they're in the AFC means I will get a chance to see alot of Denver games over the season including the ESPN and ABC National coverages, they never show Arizona host an AFC team because they never sell-out. Plus Fox sucks at broadcasting.

13. My local FOX/CBS affiliates now shows all the Broncos games.
I guess it's because there's a lot of Broncos fans in North Dakota. I read that they're the 2nd most popular NFL team here.

10. Actually, Arrested Development is pretty good, too!
;)

I boycott Faux News but I occasionally watch Fox television.
