the $%&# raiders can't even sell-out their last home game of the season, so I can't see it on sunday ticket either
and there is NO way i'm driving 100 miles in the rain to hand al davis $$ just so i can fight drunk, raider fans 1-on-10 after the win

I was just about to ask if you made it, I looked around for you. We had a nice turnout, only a couple of us from the boards but probably at least 20+ Texans fans there, it was cool to see that many people supporting the team. Sorry you couldn't make it, I will not be there next week as I will be at the game!

KEYE will show Tennessee/Pittsburgh over the Texans. Pretty much everywhere else in Texas will show Houston/Oakland.

Previously, there was NO CHANCE the Texans would be on TV in the final week, because FOX only can show one game that day, and they would obviously choose Philly/Dallas ahead of Chicago/Houston... and Dallas will have gone over the "limit" of national games, thus could not be moved to the flex spot on Sunday Night Football.

HOWEVER - if you read THIS ARTICLE on PFT, it looks like there's still a chance that Philly/Dallas can be flexed!

So let's all HOPE that Philly/Dallas gets flexed to SNF, which would pave the way for there to be coverage of the Bears/Texans game in Austin on FOX!

On FOX, the Dallas at Philadelphia game, which is oozing with playoff possibilities, has been moved to 4:15 p.m. EST as well.

They didn't move it to SNF but to the 3:15 time slot.

That sucks for us in CC as well if Fox can only show 1 game this week.

I totally forgot that BOTH networks get two games each on the last weekend of the season.

So, obviously the Cowboys/Eagles will be on at 3pm... but the Texans could also be on TV at Noon. I have no idea if FOX in Austin wants to show the local(ish) team or not - but the only game that would seem to be a threat is NYG/Minnesota... I would hope the people at the Austin FOX affiliate realize that game is totally meaningless to the Giants. If so, we should be getting Texans/Bears on Sunday.

This could show us if KEYE is honest when they say they'll show the Texans whenever possible, or if they are just being d-ck's on porpose. Personally I suspect they're in no hurry to ever show Houston. Austin loves to hate Houston.

Last week's game was KEYE's last chance to show the Texans. Texans/Bears is a FOX game.

It still hasn't been made official yet... the affiliate choices should be out sometime today.

*Slaps my own forehead* You're right, I know better than that.

BTW, I was at awfulannouncing.com the other day and they showed a mistake in the graphics I thought was pretty funny. Did anyone that saw the broadcast catch this?

It is. (Isn't it?) This is what is under the picture..

I poke fun, but Jamarcus Janikowski would be a badass name, and they're basically the same build so it's understandable how CBS would mix them up. Wait, no it's not.

He looked more like JoeMarcus Montana against us...
