I support this petition. The blackout gets worse. I purchased TIVO to record my Steelers and set it every Thursday prior to the game, but if the network decides to switch and put it local, I get screwed as it is blackouted on the 700 channels, so I come home to score listings and no game. The NFL MUST STOP this unprofessional way of doing business. Blacked out local games, due to attendance are fine with me, but it is absoultely ridiculous that I miss part of or an entire game, due to a local network's last minute decision. If this rule is not lifted for 2006, NFL Sunday Ticket can kiss my ass goodbye as well!!!!!
