Fucking CBS NFL blackout rules
Instead of my Steelers they have paid programming on.

So now I don't get to watch the comeback from the disaster in progress.

8. Why not?
I've lost track of the number of times, (even here at DU!) had them called the "Fudge Packers."

But just lighten up, I'm just teasing.

21. He reminds me so much of Bradshaw!
I graduated in '78. If they can get special teams together, they could.go.all.the.way!

It still pisses me off I can't watch it.

22. where are you that they aren't showing it?
I never paid much attention until my son became interested in the Steelers - now he watches all the old games and is a serious Steeler fan!

I graduated in 76, then from PItt in 80.

23. Baltimore market
I'm in Frederick Md. Just east enough I can't get it on radio and CBS has it blacked out I guess because the Ravens play the 4PM game.

15. Steelers Cleveland is always a great game.
Playing the new Browns is almost as good as when they play the old Browns.

25. I was so upset
I wanted to see my Steelers win, but instead I watched the sticks moving on NFL Game Center at NFL.com. Not quite the same as actually seeing it, but I was at least able to follow what was going on. We were lucky to pull this one out.
