It's all a conspiracy then, huh?
If CBS still wants games, they let it die. Like I said they took the PATS/Bills game away and moved it to NBC.
Poor production, Poor officiating. WEll done NFL/CBS. The most whatched game.

In Boston, it was bigger than the Academy Awards. It was bigger than Games 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the American League Championship Series
In a word, Brady v. Manning was a blockbuster for CBS and especially for its company-owned station in Boston. WBZ-TV earned a 38.2 household rating, with nearly 1.5 million viewers in the Boston market.
In all likely-hood the PATS will run the table. Bills, Eagles, Miami, Jets,
Steelers are their toughest opponent left, Giants will be beat, as well as Baltimore.
I think this is what PO's the NFL and the rest of the Fans.
They wanted parity in the NFL. They "every team has a chance" concept and the PATS blow that Idea out of the water, with perfect salary cap management, and getting more out of less talented players then another team.
