The 'Skins were North Carolina's team before the Panthers (although WSPA,
which is in Spartanburg, SC but serves Asheville, normally aired the Falcons).
Logically, because the Panthers and Falcons are in the same division, the Falcons
should be the second choice on Fox stations in North Carolina (I know, they were
on Sunday night on NBC and will be on this coming Monday on ESPN, but I'm talking
those Sundays when CBS has the Panthers because the AFC team is the visiting team
and Fox has the Falcons). However, there are people in these parts who never abandoned
the Redskins, so I suppose the Fox stations consider them a logical alternative to the Panthers,
and Fox obviously agrees.
However, CBS stations would do well to carry as many Broncos games as possible, and CBS
would do well to feed them. The way Peyton Manning is going, we may be looking at a Super Bowl
team this year.
