It's arguably the biggest rivalry in sports right now. You could also make the case that they should show all the games selected specifically for 9/11 (even though I don't know why this game wouldn't be in PIT considering this fact). Either way, I'm not really tripping that they're not showing it, I just wish they were. But a blowout doesn't stop them from showing games. There are just so many story lines this week that this game being a blow out makes it's story worse than the others.

Of course it does, unless it's a playoff game.

Me either I wouldn't really care if they showed it or not but, it just wouldn't make any sense.

Not really. Better games/stories stop them from showing a blow out game (and there are plenty of those to work with this week). But this game is ALWAYS a story, so if the closest game was say CLE 24 - CIN 17, I bet the blow out would get the nod.

Anyway, this isn't a cry for them not showing it... I'm not surprised (and it doesn't really effect me, I'll just need to deal with commercials) and probably would be surprised if they did, but I still wanted them to. I'm just saying there are situations where they will show a blowout (outside of the playoffs which is obvious).

That's probably the closest example of one of these teams, getting ALL the breaks.

After the two point conversion I couldn't do anything but laugh and say "Wow". It was just so one-sided.

Correction: The Vikings vs. Chargers game was bumped in favor of the NFL records-setting Patriots vs. Dolphins game.

Seeing Ward get laid out like that made my day. Glad to see him get a taste of his own medicine.
