An otherwise lackluster Rams-Bengals match-up (maybe compelling for particular fantasy football people) gets the annual Pat Summerall sighting. Pat even gets Brian Baldinger (Dick Stockton's usual 2007 partner) so that there's no true 7th-string Fox booth team.
Meanwhile at 49ers Park, Matt Vasgersian yet again. Julia if you see this, we get two Sunday afternoon games this weekend, both involving the local teams, and I couldn't care less about either of them.
(Unless you have Raider or 49er rooting interest, I think your options are to be productive on Sunday, or go to a sports bar that carries that Steelers-Patriots game. There's really no middle ground.)
Incidentally the funniest thing about this map (if the color scheme is consistent with previous maps) is that the New York TV market + the state of Ohio (minus Cincinnati) exceeds the population of several Plains and Mountain states combined.
Oh, speaking of local interest, a post a couple weeks ago about NBC's games contained a very silly misapprehension that resulted from forgetting an important bit of NFL history. I realized the mistake when I thought of this weekend's game as "Colts at Baltimore."
