"We are not extending the telecast to more markets because we want to adhere as closely as possible to the spirit of our longstanding policy not to conflict with high school and college football during their seasons [which means Friday night and Saturday]," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said.
If they are adhering as closely as possibe to the spirit of their longstanding policy not to conflict with high school and college football why the hell did they schedule an NFL game at 7 o'clock on a Friday night?
BTW-My chat with a rep from Direct TV could have become a pissing contest real fast had I not taken a deep breath and remained calm. When I told him that it was my belief when I bought the package that I would be able to get all NFL games that weren't locally televised with my Sunday ticket subscription, the smartass replied "That's why we call it NFL Sunday Ticket, not NFL Friday Night Ticket".
