KCCI - WHY ??

[ISUAlum2002]

The Chiefs should never be on local TV in central Iowa, not when there are plenty of better games to show. Fortunately, I'm not at the mercy of bad decision makers who know nothing about football (just like Chiefs fans). I'm enjoying the Vikings/Colts game with the NFL Sunday Ticket on DirecTV, along with many other games involving good teams.

By this logic, NO ISU games should ever be on TV!! LOL....great reasoning here.

we have no idea where the teams will end up...If anything put some bad teams on early in the year because they won't be there later...

You now get to see the QB of the Future for Chiefs - Thigpen. Who?


You also get to see the Best Hawkeye in drafting ever - Robert Big Shoes to Fill Gallery.

ISU is a local, in-state team. Chiefs are not.

ISU is a local, in-state team. Chiefs are not.

And the Vikings are? Doesn't matter if the Vikings may be a better team (yet to be proven), the fanbase is here for the Chiefs and since we have no "local, in-state" teams, this is the game to go with.

I don't care where a team is from. I want to see the better game. KC-Oakland is the worst game of the week. And if it's about fanbases, Vikings fans far outnumber KC fans

Provide some proof.

There are much more Vikings fans here. Bad job out of KCCI.

Sometimes I think they have a deal going on w/ the local bar restuarants. You know those places love it when they chose **** games. Then more people come into their place and pay money to watch the games. Maybe they give them a cutback?!?!

If you are a football junkie like me......? you learn to adapt.....

Got a 3 TV set up in the basment (60"Big, 2-27") cable on the small ones, DTV (NFL Ticket) on Big screen....got 3 games going there, and then have DTV superfan pkg on computer....jumping around.....

I never get any work done a Sundays for some reason....

As I understand it, because the game is at Minnesota, an NFC team, CBS doesn't have broadcast rights to it. FOX does - and they're choosing to air Green Bay/Detroit. I may be wrong, but I don't think it's KCCI's fault.

[michaelrr1]

Let's see your proof first. Your only claim for this game to be on TV is your belief that there are fans here. My argument is for the better game.

I am sure there are more broncos fans in iowa than there are jets fans but we have watch that ****** game. so I am watching all the games on channelsurfing today.

[ketchupnmustard]

Chiefs, Vikings, Bears, Packers, Rams

All of these teams' fans will claim to outnumber the others. And it doesn't mean anything.

The fact is that KCCI is showing a game between 2 bad teams in place of a game of 2 "playoff contenders."

The loser of the Chiefs/Raiders game will be 0-2 and that result will surprise nobody.

The loser of the Vikings/Colts game will be 0-2 and that result WILL be newsworthy.

It's a CBS game. For these games, the network of the visiting team gets the broadcast. Plus I'm watching it on DirecTV with the big CBS logo on the screen ;)

By the way, I'm far from a Vikings fan. I'm a fan of good football.

[tman24]

mean while we are watching another worthless game on fox as well
