    I just had to get this out, it doesn't make any sense to me why the NFL would name LA, SD second market. Geanted the raider/charger game is not the best game of this week, so it shouldn't be the national game, but if I want to watch and put myself through the pain of watching it I should be able too. The reason why I can't di that is 2 folds.1) The NFl has decided that LA area is were the signal comes from, and sence the Chargers didn't sell out the game, it is blacked out. 2) Why didn't they sell out? Because if the bright marketing world to keep Raider fans out of SD they make you buy the ticket to a Raider game and one other Game.

    Dont get beef started, his dolphins games get preempted for jaguars games even though everyone in the county (80%) is a dolphins fan.

    Very True....but Im told that when the NFL negotiates its next deal, the local affiliate will fight to get it changed....Im sure the Jags will fight like hell to keep their rights, but it is ridiculous....
