Local Affiliate Drops Redskins Game For Eagles Vs Cowboys

In a move that reflects the nature of the Washington Redskins' season, WVBT Fox 43 had decided not to air Sunday's scheduled 4:15 p.m. game between the Redskins and San Diego Chargers and instead televise the crucial NFC East clash between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, making it the first time in memory that the Redskins have been pre-empted on TV in Hampton Roads. Bruce Rader, sports director at Fox 43, said he suggested the change when Fox switched the Eagles-Cowboys game from 1 p.m. to 4:15. "Honestly," he said, "the Redskins are just unwatchable." Rader went on to say how he was inundated with e-mails after the decision but only five of them objected to the move.

Awesome!

 

Redskin Suckitude at its finest

 

without direct tv and the HD fan pack all of us suck

 

This thread needs to stay open forever

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

:sw:

:rofl:

 

Lets all point and laugh at the Redskins fans............now undo your pants in preperation the the LOL@U Golden Shower

 

They say it's a caps town now.

 

I live here... it is a caps town now if it is anything.... but the truth is it's still not really a sports town at all

 

Hampton Roads is full of ghetto butt bandwagon Cowboy fans anyways. Works out to their advantage for once in the season.

 

Hampton roads? That place is just outside the NC border, no where near DC. I doubt any redneck in that town has ever even been to a Redskins game.

All the emails the guy recd were requesting the games be replaced by reruns of HeeHaw.

 

That is ridiculous i would be pissed off if i was a fan. In 05 i still watched all the eagle games when we went 6-10 and watching mike mcmahon was like watching a train wreck.

 

this news is wonderful to my ears
I pick up hampton roads stations so I can see the game without going to the bar today

woohoo

 

Last time we beat anyone? I don't have to pull up Santana roasting you all in 2005 do I? I mean you certainly didn't become a Giants fan after 2007 did you, I'm sure you know what our WR's did that year.

 

Wrong thread...

:icon_lol:

 

I found those pics hilarious. Don't get your panties in a bunch little man. I've been a Giant fan longer than you've been alive.

Your team is in a far worse situation right now. We may have slumped since starting 5-0, but at least we haven't been called "unwatchable" and had our game pulled from our local affiliate.
