So I turn the TV on today expecting to see the Bengals game on my local CBS affiliate only to find the Browns game on and a message ticking by the bottom of the screen saying that NFL rules require the Bengals game to be a sellout in order for the game to be aired in the Dayton market. What the hell?

The Lions need to quit spotting the other teams 20+ points in each game. One of these Sundays, it might not work out for them.

Watching the SNF game, I've never seen two more pathetic offenses make for a more fun game.

Absolutely frustrating. Flacco is just terrible.

They are doing it for ratings.
