I suppose they realize this and attendance doesn't drop...makes no sense to me either...I wonder what the attendance figures are in these cases.

Sucks, same with the NHL as well. I remember scrambling to get from a Bucs game over to the Ice Palace to watch the Lightning play just a few hours later. Not a lot of fun but if you have ST's you want to see both.

If the NBA knew what they were doing they would'nt have the problems they have. NBA is crap and rating and attendence is at a low right now. I would guess the guy that has made the NBA go down the tubes the last 4 years is in charge of the schedule too.

No one cares about the Falcons, Braves Thrashers, or Hawks in Atlanta anyway. A nonissue.

As a Canadian outside of Toronto you should know that people outside of the GTA watch the CFL over the NFL. CFL sunday ratings across the country are always higher then Global's NFL rating. CFL diehards are not NFL fans so it only sucks if you are a gambler and are spread too thin.

Sure you would. How bad could it be. Just go throw down a bunch of bud lights and it couldn't be that bad.
