We no longer live in a free country, its a personal Hell for most. The water has come to a boil and the frog is croaked

This may be the start of the end of the free world all together

Not as much as CBS and FOX anyway. NBC has Sunday Nights and ABC (sometimes) carries Monday Night Football, though nowadays ESPN sometimes just carries the game by itself. Once every four years they get the Super Bowl, but I'm sure the NFL would figure out how to get out of that and let the other three have shorter rotation.
