I'm officially hacked off about the Chiefs TV schedule. The broadcast map indicates that the east half of MO is going to get the Bears v. Detroit game. Sorry, but if you live in the same state as your team you should be able to watch the game. You can live in western Colorado, Northern Wyoming, or Mobile, AL and watch the Chiefs, but not in E. Mo., just 4.5 hours from KC. Ridiculous. Does the NFL really believe that there are more Bears fans in Cape Girardeau, MO than Chief fans? Not a chance.

I've gone to the NFL Game Rewind so I can still watch the game, but it's not until Monday AM. This is how silly this is... I have to tape a trashbag over the bottom part of the screen so I can't see the scores. And I watch the opposite broadcast (CBS if the Chiefs are on Fox, Fox if the Chiefs are on CBS) so I don't get in-game look-ins. The only other option is to pay a ton more for DirecTV and then sell a kidney to afford Sunday Ticket.

Thank God that my cable system still has Channel 22 CBS out of South Bend or I couldn't watch the Colts. My dad and brother will come over and watch the Bears on Fox 32 and we'll hope the halftimes match up. I'm interested in how the Bears do but Manning, and now Luck, won me over to the Colts. The Colts are in all the Indiana news media. Fair Oaks Farms milk is the MILK OF THE COLTS, by golly.

Richardson scores TD for Colts. Up 17-3 on Jag-offs.

Jag-offs. They couldn't score a touchdown late in the game. Luck turned the ball over on first series and it didn't mean one thing.

I was sure hoping the Skins would lose thereby increasing the chances of the Rams having the #1 and #2 picks next April.

Bad as both teams are, it was a pipe dream regardless. The Skins are just a game out in the east; I don't think they're good, but they should still win 6 games or so.

Also, Jacksonville is awful. I heard on the radio this morning that as of this moment, they are 28 point dogs to Denver for their game two weeks from now.

At least with MLB their games are offered on multiple platforms. If you have cable or satellite and you live anywhere within a 300 mile radius of your team, you're going to get the games. And if you live out of that range, then you can get MLB.tv for a very reasonable price.

I understand the MLB blackouts can be very annoying for some of you that live in other places, but the NFL only offers their games on one platform at a ridiculous rate. The only other option is tape-delay.

Maybe the Chiefs will be on more often now that they are 4-0. I completely understand when they show the Rams over the Chiefs, but since they're on seperate networks, you should get both the Rams and Chiefs every week if you live in MO.
