Here's What You Can Do To End NFL Blackouts Forever
We did a post yesterday on Richard Nixon's 1972 efforts to forever sustain the NFL's policy of blacking out teams' home games in their local markets. The NFL rejected Nixon's bargain, and so, from 1973 on, only those games with unsold tickets 72 hours prior to kickoff would be blacked out. That rule...

Él Es Fiesta: Sterling Moore Went To IHOP Just Two Days After Losing The Super Bowl
