CBS IS EVIL So here we are in the L.A. market, with no local pro football team -- a blessing that ought to guarantee us the best game on TV each week, right? Wrong.
At 1 pm this Sunday, evil CBS has decided NOT to air New England v. Cincinnati, a clash of two first-place teams and division champions with but one loss between them. Oh no, instead, it's decided to inflict upon the poor people of Southern California the Browns v. the Raiders. That's right, the clash of the bottom-dwellers, two miserable franchises with not a single victory between them.
Egad. Why in the world would anyone prefer to watch this? So we can know who will get the #1 pick in next year's draft?
Yes, I understand that there are some truly pitiful, benighted souls in the Southland who still pine for the Oakland Raiders. To which I say, get a life, guys. Al Davis dropped you like a bad habit. You've been dumped. Move on. This hanging on to love lost is pathetic. Especially because your team is AWFUL. Horrendous. Atrocious. Abominable. There aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe such consummate badness.
If you want to put on your Darth Vader costumes and watch the game in your parents' garage, then for crying out loud, buy the dish. The rest of us shouldn't have to put up with games this bad polluting the airwaves. (Surely this is an FCC violation of some sort, no?)
Come on, CBS. Relent. Stop catering to the Raider dorks. Let the rest of SoCal watch some real football. Or be known forever as The Evil Eye.
