The good news is the Rush will clinch homefield advantage for their
Quarterfinal Playoff game with a win over Indiana on Sunday. Also NBC
has renewed its option to broadcast Arena Football games through the
2006 season. This means continued network exposure for this growing
sport. The bad news is sometimes NBC makes bonehead decisions.
Sunday's game against Indiana was supposed to be televised, but now
NBC has removed it from its broadcast schedule. Indiana is 8-7,
battling for a playoff spot. Chicago is battling for homefield
advantage in the playoffs. NBC must have decided that there was not
enough Playoff implications to air the game. Am I missing something?
It's a home game, so I will be going anyway, but what about next
week, which is a road game against Colorado. Will NBC dump that game
also? Are we being penalized because we got into the playoffs early?
If this concerns anyone else besides me, do what I'm going to do.
I'll be sending NBC a nasty letter to let them know how I feel.
