Oh my. There are probably a lot of pissed off Tea Party NFL fans right now...

NFL football on Fox (channel 11 for me: Saints vs Bears), had no audio for the 10-15 minutes—this was during pre-game on field interviews, etc.

Well, they got the audio back, just in time for kick off, but the announcer is speaking Spanish.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, probably, but just before the audio went out, one of the announcers was giving a speech about how the shutdown is not allowing NFL Football to be heard by our troops over seas. Shortly after this, the audio was gone and came back in Spanish.

"So one football is in Spanish and the other game has no sound. Safe to say I'm ticked off!!"
