Did Fox cut your feed too on the Bills/Eagles game?

Stupid ass station cut the game with 2:19 left with the Bills trailing by 3. What's worse is they then went to the Cowboys/Jets game which didn't which was even started as yet.

What kind of idiots are running these networks?

Well, you know damn well that they went to the Broncos\Lions game here.

No....I saw the whole game....terrible finish I wish they would have cut the feed.

Folks
These are contractrual obligations that networks have with local advertisers. Since advertisers pay their bills (and mine), the networks must abide the agreements. Does it suck? Sure. But these are decisions based on economics.

The irony of it all is that viewers with a vested interest in the game are going to get up and walk away from the advertising to look at another media (internet, etc.).

Media is a crazy business.

all i know is i got my a$$ kicked on the other games i bet so i unloaded the balance of my acct on over 19 2nd half. What an early christmas gift!!!I wa shocked as when they went away from the game i wrote it off as a huge loss. running out the clock and they bust off a 70 yard run for the miracle. feels good to finally be on the right side of something like that..
