We are the #2 media market in the nation, and we are the #1 market for watching the NFL (maybe cause the NY teams suck), but that doesn't automatically translate into support for a local team if they don't perform well on the field.XWLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13646729965929680256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17320859.post-50960544065226630492007-09-17T13:23:00.000-07:002007-09-17T13:23:00.000-07:00I have no idea why Fox is showing this game over a...<I>I have no idea why Fox is showing this game over a more interesting contest like Seattle at Arizona.</I><BR/><BR/>For the record, we didn't get the Dolphins game in Orlando. Instead we got stuck with Chicago and KC. This is why I hate the Jaguars. After being in the Dolphins media market for three decades, along came the Jags and Orlando was mandated as Jags territory by the NFL. So now those of us who grew up watching the Dolphins play every week never get to see them these days.<BR/><BR/>I don't know why you think the Jags will be moving to LA (their ticket sales are comparable to Indy's), but you're welcome to them.Icepickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09616554052707230326noreply@blogger.com
