Yesterday

It used to be we got the end of Broncos (Elway) or Dolphins (Marino) games.

Back in the 90’s there was a de facto playoff game the last week. Giants vs Rams I think. The local CBS station announced it would, of course, carry that games. The Washington fans (and it’s mostly Washington fans around here) raised hell. Phone calls aplenty. Okay okay. Channel 6 said it would carry the almost needless Skins AT Cardinals game. 🙄
