I can understand that the non-doubleheader network drops out of bonus coverage of the second game, but surely those who'd been watching that second game from the start get to see the end. Pulling out of a sports fixture that you've just invested over four hours in watching would be awful... (Here in the UK we'd previously been given a choice of two games of both the 1.00pm and 4.00pm fixtures. That's stopped this season, as has coverage of the Monday night game. All to the consternation of lots of NFL fans who'll otherwise be at Wembley Stadium next weekend). Adam --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
