Orlando CBS affiliate apologises for airing Jags football game

Orlando station apologizes for having to show Jacksonville Jaguars game

The most appealing game of the Week 2 afternoon slate is obviously Broncos-Giants, the Manning Bowl. The Raiders vs. the Jaguars has almost no appeal, unless you're in Jacksonville quarterback Chad Henne's immediate family.



The NFL has rules about regional coverage, and Orlando is getting the Jaguars game. Whether they like it or not. And based on this scroll during the Dolphins-Colts game (as pointed out on Deadspin), it appears many people are telling the CBS affiliate there they don't like it.

They almost beat Indy, barring a last-minute end zone INT. And Pryor and McFadden looked damn good today, albeit playing a weak team.

I think I'm going to have to institute an "Not From The Onion" category.
