12.29.06 ABOUT DAMN TIME

This may not be a huge deal to all you people with NFL Sunday Ticket, but for those of us in the Comcastic cable black hole of New York City, the Earth is a sweeter place today:

The National Football League, for the first time ever, is giving its broadcast network television partners, CBS and Fox, this Sunday a right to air two games each in markets that do not have a home football team–a double doubleheader.

"With tight playoff races and so much interest in so many games, a Week 17 double doubleheader offers fans more football as they look ahead to the playoffs," said Howard Katz, NFL senior vp of broadcasting.

I don't have anything mean to say about this. It's just awesome fucking news, and the first nice thing the NFL has done for fans since that sonofabitch Roger Goodell took over at the end of the summer. Now if you don't mind, Mr. Goodell, how about doing this every damn week?

But there I go making sense again. I've got no future in the business of sports. Which is good, because if I had to go into an office every day I'd end up grabbing female coworkers' tits. Best to keep me inside.
