Browns game a blessing for long

Browns game a blessing for long


The weather forecast calls for a 100 percent chance of precipitation today. Things can change, of course. This is Buffalo. But it looks like rain early in the day, turning to snow later, with a predictably horrendous, torrential transition in-between.

This can mean only one thing. The Browns and Bills are playing. All manner of ugliness is sure to ensue when these two AFC rivals strap on the helmets. There's a good chance we'll see some new and previously unimagined football atrocity today at the Ralph. Bad weather, like bad officiating, only tends to makes it worse.

It's not likely to be played in a whiteout, like the Bills' 8-0 loss in Cleveland three years ago. But there is definitely a blackout.

For the third time this season, a Bills home game didn't sell out. So in accordance with the NFL's antiquated blackout policy, it will not be televised in the Buffalo area. I haven't spoken up about the blackout rule before, but the idiocy of the policy becomes more and more evident as the years go by.

The NFL is a television phenomenon. It is TV advertising revenue that drives the public interest and feeds the profits. It doesn't make any sense to take the product away from people who prefer to watch it in the comfort of their homes. A fan who watches on TV is an NFL consumer. It's arrogant and short-sighted to take the product away.

I know there are a few NFL markets where fans don't fill the stadium for good teams. But in Buffalo's case, blackouts punish fans for being discriminating, for not wanting to support an inferior product. Why punish people who don't want to endure brutal weather conditions to watch a team that hasn't made the playoffs in 10 years?

It's the Bills' job to win these people back. You don't do that by blacking out the games. A disaffected fan might see something he likes on a telecast and decide to give the team another chance in person.tagheuerreplica1 totally free dating services with hundreds of thousands of online users. Maybe it's Ryan Fitzpatrick evading the rush and making a big throw, or Fred Jackson battling for an extra yard.tagheuerreplica01 womenhandbags compact fluorescent light.

The owner, Ralph Wilson, has been very lucky in recent years. Fans have bought season tickets despite the organizational dysfunction.cctv camera systems must satisfy budget constraints and meet required operating capabilities.What else should I look for when buying compact fluorescent light bulbs? Can you blame fans if they've turned away? The team is 2-10. They've been entertaining at times, and the offense is better, but 2-10 is 2-10. C.J. Spiller was supposed to be an attraction, but he's playing part-time.

Blackout? The Bills should have bought out the remaining tickets and handed them out for free at the gates. They could have tossed in free vouchers for team merchandise, maybe signed photos of Wilson and the players, anything to show their gratitude for anyone who made the trip.
