Is it time for the NFL's television rules to be overhauled?

I heard a caller on our local sports talk station make that point the other day.
He was talking about Colin Kaepernick, pointing out that he's persona-non-grata while the league continues
to employ actual violent thugs.
I don't agree with Colin Kaepernick. Don't like what he did. But I have to concede the caller's point.
Regardless what you think of it he hasn't actually harmed anybody.
No, he hasn’t. But that doesn’t mean he is assessed as a player whose upsides negate his downsides. And there’s a case to be made he isn’t all that great a player in the league.
This is the same league that was supposedly blacklisting Tim Tebow according to some. People see conspiracy theories wherever it suits their viewpoint.
Which never happened before.
I get there was a connection to the creator’s death or some such thing, but absent any context, it can’t be expected to make any sense to many of the viewers. Heck, with that knowledge it still made no sense.
i was expecting fox to od the same thing when the lions/cardinals game went to ot, but fox didn't do it. i wonder if nbc decided they would rather delay their game than force fox to show the simpsons.....
They have a pretty long pre-game at NBC, and I've seen them extend it a bit to cover for a late game.
But I suspect phone calls from both companies were made to the NFL to make sure it was OK with them.
NBC never wanted Fox to run a OT show that competed with their pregame.
They're on at the same time, so it's one or the other.
Maybe he means putting the "other" game on a subchannel, like the regional sports nets do when they encounter a conflict involving teams to which they hold the rights. I have a feeling the NFL will never allow that, considering that local advertisers have paid good money to be on the lone game carried by that network affiliate in the time slot.
I agree, plus they sell full schedule subscriptions for their All Access package. If you want to see games other than the one chosen for your market, there are packages you can buy. Or you can just hop in the car and drive to the local sports bar. I hear they have such things in Connecticut.

Yes to other Affilates meaning KSMOTV but only one team in MO and none in KS/OK or so on.
I'd think the Pats game will be the choice for WFSB again. Of course, if Cincinnati is challenging for a playoff position, the game may be cherry-picked for a later slot, right? It's hard to picture Giants-Dolphins meaning much at all, but a surprising Giants season and a noncompetitive Bengals team could put the NYG game in contention. I think it's safe to assume that barring injury disaster the Patriots will be tuning up for the playoffs by Week 15 and that the Dolphins very well might be sitting on one or zero wins.
correct. After week 5 games can be moved to better timeslots or different networks. Only thing is that week is FOX's DH week so CBS would only show one game.
Which means WFSB would have to show Giants-Dolphins while Pats-Bengals at 4:30 wouldn't be seen in Hartford at all? As an all-AFC match-up, there's no way it could be switched to Fox, right? The Patriots had better have everything wrapped up by then or the switchboards at WFSB and WTIC will blow up!
both games right now are at noon central. FOX has the doubleheader so the late games on CBS right now are Cleveland/Arizona and Jax/Oakland which will go to those areas and the FOX early home teams (Washington DC, Green Bay, Charlotte and Detroit).
sure they can. Flex scheduling has been around for a few years now. They do that to balance out the TV slots and give the best games to the most eyeballs. Or if one side (say CBS) has way more games than FOX they shift games around. As example FOX next week has 2 AFC-NFC matchups (Oakland at Minny and Miami at Dallas) that "old rules" would put them on CBS (since the AFC team is the road team). I see CBS has 2 NFC road team games including a all NFC game in the late slot (Nawlins/Seattle)
But as of right now (again its waaaaay to early in the season and games will move around) the late FOX game that week is Rams and Dallas or Atlanta/San Fran.
Why? Hartford is showing the Pats this week and pretty sure they would in week 15 also.
