I've Lived Long Enough To See 4 NFL Games Televised To NYC!

Glory Glory Hallelujah!

My whole life I’ve been subject to that horrible phrase “except in New York.”

A month ago I prayed to the Blogods when I wrote It’s 2008 Can We Have The Doubleheader?

Today my prayers have been answered.

Here in NY where we are often subjected to horrible games while you folks in the flyover states get to see mutliple games, we not only got two games at 1pm, we also got two games at 4pm.

I believe this is a first.

Here’s the part I want the NFL to notice: the Jets game is still sold out! There’s no need to have silly blackout rules. The Jets fans are at the stadium. The Jets fans are glued to CBS. If a few of us sneak over to Fox to peek at Cowboys-Eagles the world won’t end. In fact you’ll wind up with more people more interested in your league.

I really can’t believe this is happening, but thank you NFL, and let’s do this every week next year!
