Watching a Vikings/Lions game has to be like watching two EIU football players fight over a DVD while standing on a log in the river.

-DSM/Ames is Minnesota's largest out of state market
-It's a division game
-The Bears suck..... (probably not an actual reason, just throwing it out there :) )

You forgot to say the Cubs suck too...I'm sure this has something to do with that too.

I'm guessing there are more Vikings and Lions fans in KDSM's market than Bears and Falcons fans.

superdorf · 10-10-2008, 09:52 AM

Lions fans? I doubt they would even admit it.

Showing an 0-4 team vs. a 2-3 team instead of two 3-2 teams...another excellent business decision by KDSM...

They showed the Lions last week.. Didn't hear you complaining when it worked out for you...

I will again reiterate, how HILARIOUS this is!

A couple of weeks ago, the Vikings season is over and the Packers and Bears are competing for the division. The Packers and Bears have an "easy" schedule for the rest of the year while the Vikes do not.

I bring up that ATL would be a tough game and everyone dismisses it. Now that ATL beat the Pack, you are all appalled that they aren't showing the Falcons.

I would expect this from the Hawks fans....

I agree that Vikings-Lions isn't the game of the week. Neither was Bears vs Lions, or Packers-Lions, all of which KDSM showed. Division games are more important in theory, which is why I think they went with Vikes-Lions.

If it was Bears vs Packers going up against Vikes-Lions, I'd almost guarentee they'd show that game instead.

That's funny. Being able to watch the Bears game makes it better to live in hawkeye country?

The Vikings season IS over.

Every game in the NFL is a tough one. While improved, I'd rather face Atlanta than Indy, Carolina, Tampa Bay, or Philly...so compared to the Bears first few games this one is "easy".

Expect what from Hawk fans? That the majority of the people don't want to watch 2 losing teams play each other?

The NFL package folks would probably never let that happen, and the affiliates probably don't want to take the empty radar display down for a couple of hours on their secondary channels, but I can still dream...

They'd probably have to be less than 720p - probably 480p. Otherwise the bitrate would be so low that it would look like crap.
