I'm happy for the interested fans nationwide, but I don't believe the NFL's decision had much to do with Kerry's grandstanding.
So you don't believe Goodell himself...
"The NFL had faced mounting pressure from lawmakers in recent weeks to make the game available to more viewers.
Local TV affiliates in the Boston, Manchester, N.H., and New York areas who were already set to simulcast the game under NFL policy will still air it.
The NFL has feuded with major cable companies, who have declined to carry the network as part of basic packages.
"We have taken this extraordinary step because it is in the best interest of our fans," commissioner Roger Goodell said."
...and Kerry said this in his letter to Goodell...
"I hope it is not too late to get something done for fans everywhere. Thank you for consideration of this request."
So the NFL admits to being under increasing pressure from lawmakers to show this game on regular TV; Kerry, who is a lawmaker, sends Goodell a letter asking him to do something for the fans; Goodell does something for the fans; but Wynn doesn't see a connection. Does anyone have a 2 x 4?
