CBS Sports Idiots - Worst Television Producing Job Ever?

**Rain Man** · 10-15-2006, 05:01 PM

I turn the TV on to watch the game that is scheduled, which is the Kansas City Chiefs against the Pittsburgh Squealers. Here is what I get from the morons at the stupid, moronic, pinheaded, microcephalic network:

1. The end of a game no one cares about - Dallas and Houston.

2. Then they switch to show the end of a game that no one cares about Washington and Tennessee. This goes past the start of the game that is supposed to be on.

3. Then the idiots switch to the end of a game that no one cares about - Cincinnati and Tampa. The end of the game goes on forever, even though no one freaking cares about it.

4. By showing the end of all these games, they're behind on their commercials, so they show a string of a dozen commercials or more. Partway through, the idiots flash on a brief play of a Chiefs punt, but switched into the game after the snap.

5. We finally get to see the Chiefs for a while, after having missed almost exactly half of the first quarter because some freaking idiot has no idea what he's supposed to be doing.

6. They then switch from the Chiefs game so that the four interested viewers nationwide can watch the Jets beat some team that is a shadow of the former Dolphins.

So I'm supposed to be able to watch 60 minutes of Chiefs football, and instead I get about 41 minutes. I want to go shoot someone.

I honestly believe that if I had gotten to see the first part of the game Law wouldn't have slipped and things would have turned out differently. Damn you CBS!

PunkinDrublic · 10-15-2006, 05:27 PM

Yeah that was some horseshit. If you have a game scheduled to be televised you don't preempt it for the closing minutes of two ****ing games. That was just horrible.

That's what makes me the most mad. I may be a long way away, but I still represent crowd noise. If you and I had been able to watch, we possibly could have disrupted the snap count or something.

I've been bitching about their 'coverage' since they got the rights again. I hate their graphics, hate most of their announcers and I hated it back in the day when they would 'shrink the screen' to show the scores of other games. Cutting to another game also sucks balls.

Consider yourself lucky. I got to watch all 60 minutes, in person.

so this was not just a problem with the local station here in springfield?

At first I was upset, but then I ralized that if I heard Dierdorf talk about how GREAT the Steelers were and how the CHIEFS were getting whacked, I would have killed myself. So for my families sake, I am glad they switched. Dierdorf has to rank up there with one of the most biased (agianst the CHIEFS) announcer in the game!!

**Bugeater** · 10-15-2006, 09:42 PM

It was my understanding CBS put the game on at 3:15 because it was their "featured" game of the day. Then they go and **** up nearly the entire 1st qtr. What a bunch of buffoons.

KingPriest2 · 10-16-2006, 09:18 AM

Same thing happened here in Joplin at the start of the game. Luckily they did not switch the end.

They have always done that. Fox as well.

Well, I went to the game and had ok seats. I recorded the game so I could watch it again today. I expected the blowout so I no surprise there. However, when I turned the game on a few minutes ago and heard it was Queerdorf doing the game I just had to delete it.

I hate that fool.
