BUT, if I'm a rabid fan of my team I don't care how close the game is and I want to see the kickoff. I'm also betting the local station wants as the last thing in the world to have their switchboard crashed by irate fans. The rules I think are screwy are when we here get something like Raiders vs Giants as opposed to the national game that's way more intriguing simply because we happen to be in NFC East land. It was even worse when the Cards were in the NFC East. Well, I understand what you’re saying. BUT, if I’m a rabid fan of my team I don’t care how close the game is and I want to see the kickoff.

I'm not a fan of either the Eagles or the Packers, but the end of that game was pretty wild. With 59 seconds left in the game, Green Bay recovered a muffed punt return by Philly. I go to the bathroom and I come back and the Bucs/Seahawks game is on. Local coverage rules the day and despite the fact that the Packers game could (and did) come down to the last few seconds, they had to switch over to the Bucs game (I'm in FL) which hadn't even started yet.
