An Open Letter to the NFL Network

Dear NFL Network,
I appreciate the fact that you are re-airing tonight’s game, albeit at 11PM CST. That is very nice of you. As someone living well outside the Texans’ regular viewing area, it is nice to know that I can see the game, even if it’s after the fact.
What puzzles me, however, is why you would choose to air the Titans-Redskins game live in lieu of Texans-Bears. I really don’t understand. We are playing the reigning NFC champs. The Titans are playing… um… the one NFC East team that didn’t make the playoffs last year (and who finished with a worse record than Houston). We have a new QB and a new RB, in what could be seen as the launch of Texans v.2.0. The Titans have Vince Young and a whole sack of ass. ‘Tis puzzling.
I have to be honest–I feel like you are giving me the finger from your cushy little office. That’s not cool. That’s the type of shit Matt Mosley would do. And we both know how badly he sucks. So, next time, maybe ask yourself “does airing this game make any fucking sense?” Because right now, the answer would be a fat “no.”
Sincerely,
Matt

So, am I drunk or was the first half of the NFL Netweork rebroadcast the telecast from ABC-13 and the second half from the Chicago affiliate? Either that, or Spencer Tillman morphed into Mike Ditka at halftime.
