Ridiculous how much money I have to spend as an out of market fan.
Redzone, Sunday ticket, and the bar....

Why is CBS allowed to show NFC games? That is Fox's job.

Stupid NFL

in 2014 they started cross-flexing.

Also new this year is cross-flexing, which the league can do any week of the season.
This process involves CBS and Fox and will result in AFC games that previously could have been seen only on CBS now appearing on Fox, and vice versa.

"Basically, the NFL has the option of taking up to seven NFC games, which heretofore would have only been on Fox, and seven AFC games and basically putting them on the mirror network," McManus explained.

"So, a Washington-Philadelphia game up until this year would always be on Fox or in prime time [on NBC] — it couldn't be on CBS. But there are now three games on the CBS schedule that are basically Fox games that before this year would only be on Fox. There will probably be three or four at the beginning of the season, and then … up to three or four later in the season."
The idea is putting the best matchups before the largest potential audiences. For example, a 1 p.m. game that is one of several Fox regional telecasts could be moved to the 4:15 p.m. national time slot on CBS.

"What happens is that Fox will have a game — and Washington-Philly is probably a good example — that is only going to 12 or 15 percent of the country," McManus said. "But by moving it to CBS, that percentage might jump up to 60 or 70 percent. So, it's an opportunity for the NFL to use their inventory in a more intelligent way."
