Last year, the Patriots were absolutely ripped the fuck off of a playoff spot thanks to the dumbasses that run the television time slots for the NFL. Here's how it went down: Patriots and Bills were supposed to play at 1, the same time as the Jets-Dolphins game. But, some asshole rescheduled the Phins game to 4:15, so it could be a prime-time game and nationally broadcast. And the playoffs, broke down as so, Patriots had to win and the Dolphins had to lose in order for the Pats to clinch. Fast-forward, Patriots win. Eric Mangini sees this and being the bitter dick he is, barley even tries at the end of the game. Favre, on the potentially winning drive lofts a ball in the air, loses, so he can back to dicking around with the media in the off season as he loves to do. An 11-5 team doesn't clinch, while the Chargers go on to play in the post season with an 8-8 record... awesome.
Back to the point of this post, well I was extremely excited to watch the Patriots-Dolphins game this weekend (being a displaced fan I only get some many games I can watch in the comfort of my own home). SO MUCH FOR THAT LUXURY! The game has been moved to 1 from the Sunday Night game for fucking Favre and the Cardinals. The goddamned battle of the corpse QB's replaces a game with divisional importance and a significantly higher fan base. The reasoning, "[to] ensure quality matchups in all NFL Sunday time slots." Fuck that.
