NBC could always use this to push the league for a Sunday night conference semifinal in the future. (ABC-ESPN could always join in the conversation.) NBC would be the logical home for Sunday night football, even if the league insisted on mirroring the conference-final schedule the next weekend, with the second game starting at 6:40et. This year, CBS is carrying the other AFC semifinal tomorrow night. Fox would no doubt insist on alternating conferences in primetime coverage, even if the other network partner isn’t actually covering the late Sunday game. _ _ |_>|_> Brad Beam- Belle WV |_>|_> http://www.facebook.com/74bmw -- -- TV or Not TV ....
