Pretty Pissed

For about three weeks now I've been jazzed about the NFL season kicking off. I've been even more jazzed that the Cowboys' week 1 game against Cleveland is what's called a "nationally televised game," which means that everyone gets to see it unless you actually live in one of the other cities who have teams playing at the same time (in this case, San Diego, Charlotte, Phoenix, or San Francisco).  Today at approximately 2:21 pm MT when FOX was supposed to cut away from the end of the Seahawks-Bills game to the Cowboys-Browns game (as had been advertised for more than a week)... they instead cut to the Chargers-Panthers game.  Considering that a) Dallas is closer to Denver than San Diego is by more than 300 miles and b) Foxsports.com reported a story on the NFL's biggest fan bases which included both Dallas and Cleveland in the top 10 (but said nothing about San Diego or Carolina), I'm wondering why my team's game is not being shown.  It's ridiculous.  If you're not going to show it, fine, but you damn well better not advertise for a week that you are.
