The 506

Here’s a helpful little guide I’ve been using the past few years to determine which games I’ll be able to see on Sunday: http://www.the506.com/nflmaps/ . Every year they’ve been getting fancier and more precise, providing maps for FOX and CBS’ coverage at 1:00 and 4:00 ET. As you can see, this week in the DC area will feature nothing at 1 on CBS, Redskins/Saints at 1 on FOX, and Ravens/Texans at 4 on CBS.

Of course, as helpful as the guide is, it is often a painful reminder of how annoying it is to live outside your team’s home market. I’d rather watch two obese men washing themselves with rags than Ravens/Texans. Why on earth is DC constantly forced to watch Baltimore games, anyway? Is it really such a significant secondary market?

Then again, there are sites where you can stream games in other markets… but I’m not sure I should post them.

So now that I’ve dissed the Ravens, here’s the picture of the week from week 1, summing up the Bengals/Ravens game nicely, and probably Cincinnati’s entire season:
