FOX and CBS both to air double headers Week 17

I wish they would/could do this every week.

We get BAL/CIN, KC/SD, DET/MIN, GB/CHI.

We get no Saturday games this year, Godell took them away. It used to be the last 2 weeks of the season where NFL was played on Sat. Not this year. NFL probably gave both networks double headers to make up for it?!

They've done this for a couple years now... but it's only during week 17.

Normally I'd blame Christmas/New Years for that but those days clearly aren't the reason this year.

Instead we get to watch some crappy bowl games.

Didn't they used to do Saturday NFL games in week 16 or 17? Or was that just when the holiday fell on a weekend?

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Saturday NFL games were some of my favorite on the schedule. I'd much rather have two weekends of a few Saturday games than the useless Thursday shitfests the league is determined to crap upon its fans.

[Deberg_1990]

I think they took the Saturday games away because of the Thursday night games?


Most of these national games are basically playoff games. Win and go on, or lose and go home. It makes sense for the NFL to want to air them to a large audience.

[Reerun_KC]

Sunday ticket trumps Fox and cbs airing 2 games.

[chiefsfan987]

No double header for me. Seattle is ALWAYS at home when CBS has a double header so it ends up being one game. Sucks.

Wow. I never expected to get Chiefs/SD in my area. But there it is, in all its blue glory. Or purple, not sure. Whatever!

Yeah, and I'll chime in too: I used to love those Saturday games.

[SeeingRed]

Is the Chiefs vs SD game being aired in NY metro area?

The 506 has spoken and I am committed. I'm taking a sawzall to the local tower if those fucks change it now!

Actually this is THREE local markets (Philly, Balt, Salisbury MD) all with the Chiefs game, alone other than Pittsburgh and Miami on the entire East coast in saying Fuck the Pats. It's weird.

OH WAIT: Baltimore needs the Chargers to lose, right?

[007]

I would love to have Saturday NFL football back.

[suzzer99]

Well you will in a week

[scho63]

DAMN! Just missed the Chiefs-Chargers on TV by a small bit here in Northern VA. Many of fans in Maryland will get the game.

Bills-Pats on here. Guess it's sports bar time again

NFL probably gave both networks double headers to make up for it?!It'd be awesome to have some reg-season Saturday games every once in a while. It'd mean I've got games to watch on Sundays.

Stuck with S Louis in second half of doubleheader.
