40% of the Country to See Chiefs vs. Cowboys on FOX

by Joel Thorman on Oct 7, 2009 11:57 AM CDT in 2009 Kansas City Chiefs Campaign

FOX has released the announcing crew for Sunday's matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys. It must be a down week for FOX (it is) because the game drew their No. 1 crew: Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Pam Oliver. The trio are a stable of veterans at FOX with Buck having served 12 years, Aikman nine years and Oliver 15 years.

The game will also be shown to 40% of the country as FOX's nooner. Or, as Barry Horn of the Dallas Morning News says, it will be "inflicted" on 40% of the country.

Here are the other "duds" FOX has this week (via the DMN):

Bucs (0-4) at Eagles (2-1) -- 8 percent
Redskins (2-1) at Panthers (0-3) -- 9 percent
Vikings (4-0) at Rams (0-4) -- 15 percent

The network's lone 3:15 pm game

Falcons (2-1) at 49ers (3-1) -- 27 percent

40% of the country for a 2-2 team vs. a 0-4 team? Ouch.

Check out The 506 to see if you will be able to see the Chiefs game (should be completely updated by the end of the day today).

Dang...another 10 sec FOX delay with radio

CBS is only about a 3 second delay with radio that I can live with! (I don’t have a DVR)
Internet stream is even worse !

My Bad....CBS radio is actually 3 sec behind Chiefs Radio

simple solution to this problem

go to a pawn shop, pick up a guitar delay pedal for about $10 or if you already have one then even better. Have your radio run through the pedal and turn the delay time up all the way and the feedback and mix all the way down and voila! you compensate for the sattelite delay!

I swear I’ll learn how to spell that friggin’ word someday

by jonnyu on Oct 7, 2009 3:11 PM CDT up reply actions

actually, correction:

you would turn the mix all the way up, not down.

by jonnyu on Oct 7, 2009 3:16 PM CDT up reply actions

The mix would act as a volume control but, you would still get the original signal coming from the radio unless you disable the speaker.

by Chiefsfan1970 on Oct 7, 2009 4:05 PM CDT up reply actions

Or just pause the game on the DVR to match the radio feed

That’s what I do :)

Was hoping to get the same crew as last week.

They called a pretty good game and I thought really understood what was going on in KC rather then just thinking they were just another crap team.

100% of me to see Chiefs vs. Cowboys on FOX

Except when I’ll be switching over to watch the “riviting” Vikings/Rams game. Seriously, that game is going to be 100-0.

Speaking of which, where have the Brett Favre haters been lately?!?

Cowboys

This is our showboat game! Its the main game because its the Cowboys. Love em or hate em they draw a large tv rating. It would be great to turn our season around with a win. Have faith, backuped with confidence and kick the cowboys ass.

Jackasses

they don’t have Hawaii on the map..

You know I actually get some idiot tourists asking me how is Alaska so cold if it’s next to Hawaii where its so warm.. Oh so you get the concept of climate changes differing as you get closer and further from the equator but you don’t know that Alaska is the Northernmost state in America and Hawaii is the southernmost!?.. Ugh sorry for ranting

You mean Hawaii is part of the USA??

When did that happen??
