You know what sucks? Bye weeks. Week 4 starts the bye week rotation and from now through week 10, at least 4 teams will be missing from action each week. Bye weeks fuck up everything. Fantasy, gambling, TV schedules, you name it. This week blows especially hard as 6 teams will be MIA. In addition to eliminating all preseason play, let's get rid of bye weeks. And helmets.
1 O'Clock Games:
Most of the country will get the early CBS match-ups including Denver @ KC, Houston @ Jax or Cleveland @ Cinci. New England, along with the bulk of the nation will see the Denver game which should be a lopsided blow out. If that's your thing. The other two games are pretty shitty so no skin off my balls there.
As if we haven't had enough Brett Favre rammed down our throats, Fox is carrying the Cards/Jets game to a small portion of the country. Lucky Boston. Everybody else will get the battle of the Bays while we're stuck listening to yet another announcing team felatiate Favre (it will be Dick Stockton, Brian Baldinger and Brian Billick in case you're wondering). Sure is nice to see Billick finding work after the Raven years.
4 O'Clock Game:
No pluralization necessary. There is only one 4 O'clock job worth watching. Washington @ Dallas brought to your living room compliments of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. The Skins are questionable at best and Dallas should win going away but it is a fascinating rivalry nevertheless.
I guess if you live on the West Coast or Buffalo you could watch the San Diego/Oakland matchup or the Buffalo/St Louis. Maybe if it was San Diego playing Buffalo I'd be interested. As is, no thanks.
