The latter 70s however warrant no warm feelings whatsoever.Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-2393192974615210112016-08-20T21:38:54.849-04:002016-08-20T21:38:54.849-04:00How is it ironic?

Looked at the television schedule, and with Pay-TV holding all the games (save the Cotton on Fox and Sun on CBS), even the King Orange Parade was taken out because the games no longer controlled television deals. Not even the Tournament of Roses is televised on network television.<br /><br />In fact, CBS will air their normal plate of daytime dramas and game shows, all with new episodes. NBC is blocked because of restrictions caused by Donald Fehr. ABC will become the ESPN Broadcast Network and air all of one game. New Year's night will consist of normal shows.<br /><br />How far have we lost the special effect of New Year's now. And the new playoff system may mean Pay Per View after ESPN's new 12-year deal. College football may soon go the way of boxing.Bobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366544608847776006noreply@blogger.com
