flomoe Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I caught the Fox halftime show when they went through the scores of all the early games and the Bills/Chiefs game was the last on the list. Every game got a mention of some sort but when they got to the Bills game, they rambled on about the game listed before them then went to commercial. Pretty pathetic for one of the NFL's braodcast networks to completely overlook that game like it never happened. Sad to see how irrelevant both those teams are in the eyes of the FOX network studio crew. The only one that mentioned the Bills at all after 4 was Bradshaw and he boasted how he picked the Bills, other than that, the Bills are pretty much a has-been football team in the eyes of the networks................so far.

I try to watch these shows from a neutral standpoint although it is hard. Fox has exclusive rights to the NFC, so they generally only mention AFC games in passing, even the feature games. So a Bills/Chiefs game isn't going to get any coverage. If the Bills keep winning though, that will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Don't worry, there is an all new episode of Glee coming up, followed by a new Cleveland Show, and don't forget to turn in Thursday for an all new "Cooking with America's best Dance Stars."

NobesBLO13 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 A mostly irrelevant team beat a mediocre one. It's not a big deal outside of WNY. It'll take more than one win to get the attention of the nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaise321 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) Fox does focus on NFC games, though. This is truth. On the other hand, CBS post game show gave the Bills some serious props. Especially Cowher. In fact he predicted the upset earlier.

Used 2 Be Bills Fan Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I saw it.... Winning cures all Yes it does and if they start winning I will change my name. They need to show me what they can do against the Patriots before I get my hopes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninMyrtleBeach Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 It's not just Fox that disses the Bills, they all tend to ignore the Bills. Even our local news channel didn't have the score for the Bills Chiefs game listed on the screen, like it never happened. ESPN glossed over the game, devoted about 25 sec of highlights, then went on to talk for 12 minutes about Mike Vick and the Eagles game. I wish the Bills would make it to the Super Bowl (and win) so that the sports posers HAD to talk about them. Boy that would really chap their butts wouldn't it? O.K. it is just one game but come on, how often do we get a great win like today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox = NFC = not going to spend time on a game that is afc and not of national interest It's not just Fox that disses the Bills, they all tend to ignore the Bills.

O.K. it is just one game but come on, how often do we get a great win like today? Do you really think that they just dislike the team? Everyone wants to know about Vick, bills fans want to know about fitz. That means about 32 times as many people are looking for Vick info right now. It's simple, and not spiteful. I try to watch these shows from a neutral standpoint although it is hard. Fox has exclusive rights to the NFC, so they generally only mention AFC games in passing, even the feature games. So a Bills/Chiefs game isn't going to get any coverage. If the Bills keep winning though, that will change. Does the NFL limit their halftime coverage across conference? It seems like something I've heard but maybe not.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjamin Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Thanks for posting the Fox talking heads... Makes me think that it would be nice to have some part of the site or even the homepage that would provide those kinds of media links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whites Bay Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Dating myself here, but when I was a kid (well, at least when the bald spot wasn't so pronounced), AFC games were carried on NBC, and NFC games were carried on...gasp...CBS. And the ass-clowns on CBS, which included dorks like Bradshaw and Madden, barely gave the Bills a whoop-de-doo back during the Super Bowl run. And now CBS carries the AFC, and gee whiz, Gomer, what do you think they're covering? That's just the way it is. These guys are just pimping their product. But to echo another poster...the bigger question is "Why in God's name are you watching Fox?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
