    I couldn't believe the network actually cut our game as Boz was about to kick the game winning fg in OT in favor of the dolphins/pats.....
    That was the ultimate in disrespect, and nearly equivalent to the old Heidi game

    I was pissed. Not only did they cut away, they cut away to a commercial during the lead into the Pats game, not even to actual game action.

    They did the same thing in New York, except it was a few plays earlier. They switched right before the third-down pass that Johnson dropped.

    Has nothing to do with disrespect. They had a contract that required them to cut to the local game in the region.

    They cut it earlier than that here, for the Carolina game. I just watched the rest of it on the Yahoo sports app.

    No cuts in So Cal but that's because they were all prepping for the anticipated 0-0 tie game between Chargers and Raiders last night. :cool:

    All NFL contracts should have a Steelers supremacy clause that states no Steelers broadcast will ever be preempted by another game.

    Like wise, a subordinate clause that states no Cowboys games save for playing the Steelers, will be broadcast, ever.

    I feel for you guys that had the game cut away. I looked on Wednesday at the TV map as saw most of the country including Minnesota had the Steelers game and didn't go back to check throughout the week like I normally do. Sure enough when I turned on my TV to INDY and went and checked again, sure enough eastern ND and Western MN had the Colts game. Gosh dang Carson Wentz, I'm glad you are playing golf right now. Luckily after the Jags killed them CBS switched for me to the game and stayed with it to the end. Wentz has now moved up to just behind Brady on my hate scale

    They tried to cut away from the Chiefs-Steelers game a couple of weeks ago to show some team kneeling in victory formation, then they had to go back to the Steelers game. It was kind of hilarious.
