Pats-Giants game to be televised on NBC and CBS

Joe Quiles's picture

The NFL has relented and decided to simulcast the Patriots bid for perfection on both CBS and NBC.  The game was originally scheduled to be carried exclusively by the NFL Network, however with an estimated 60% of america unable to watch the game the pressure began to mount on league officials.  The league's contention has been that this problem has been caused by some cable providers failing to provide this network as part of their basic cable package.  While the NFL is all about making a buck, i do have a problem with companies like Comcast who created a 'Sports Tier' out of this air just to include the NFL Network and then charge for it.  They're probably both at fault but the bottom line here is that the right decision was made in the end and that the 'Revolution, er, Patriots will be televised'.
