They've pretty much shown every one in the BR market.

Yeah. Today in Birmingham we have Bills/Pats on CBS, Carolina/TB on Fox for the early games. Steelers/Chiefs on the second slot on CBS
Same thing on CBS in Monroe, LA today. Got Rams at the Vikings at noon on Fox.

Before Burrow went to Cincy, I liked getting Buffalo games to watch Tre White and the end of Kyle Williams' career. Haven't given a hoot about seeing the Pats since Kevin Faulk retired.

Whatever team you put on, odds are you’ll have former Tigers…

When I worked in local TV one of my jobs was to select the games we would air for our stations

No matter what games I picked We'd get angry calls every Sunday and Monday. It was really hard in Iowa because we had 4 teams equidistant from Cedar Rapids

The games the local station airs are selected by the station itself - NFL has no input

Oh and I would select the games the day after the schedule came out in May. It's not a week to week thing

not in Louisiana.

and they did show Bengals early in the season over the other options that were being showed in neighboring states. would be nice if they did that again.

Doesn’t apply today specifically...but the Bengals are a DISTANT 2nd to the Browns in their own state. The Bengals fan base is small and FULL of apathetic fans.


irrelevant. he's talking about CBS showing Bengals in Louisiana.. they actually did this earlier in the year. like only the lafayette, baton rouge, new orleans type of areas of Louisiana got the Bengals game. it was kind of awesome. wish they would do it more often.

I'm watching it on Directv channel 705 here in Cenla. Should be Sunday ticket but for some reason it's free.


Directv gave Sunday Ticket to a lot of customers for free this year, but many have no idea because they didn’t read the preseason email.

Because Ohio is a long ways away from here


Wyoming is even further from Buffalo and they still get a decent amount of Bills games in their market. Back before Hurts and Murray got in the league when Mayfield was the only OU quarterback in the league it wasn't strange for Oklahoma to get Browns games.

A lot of Louisiana people live in Houston and they don’t show the Saints (excluding prime time) most weekends.


that's actually not true at least in recent years when the Saints were really good, we'd get them in Houston unless the Texans were at home and or Dallas was at the same time

Is this the latest everything is unfair to LSU and Joe Burrow thread?

Good point. Arkansas used to get the Jags games because of Matt Jones
