this is pretty cool…

There’s a site that shows NFL TV distribution maps. It’s a good way to figure out what game you’ll be seeing on Sunday. If you’re in an NFL market, at least one of your games is set — and another is potentially blocked, if they’re playing at home. And if you’re near an NFL market, and the team’s on the road, you could be locked in to a game as well. I’ve seen these on the ABC/ESPN website, for college games. I’ve seen NFL distribution maps a few times (a long time ago…), but I think this is the first time I’ve seen them aggregated like this.
Cool stuff.

edit: Just noticed the distribution of HD games among the networks. CBS has 3 this week. Fox has 6. Talk about a deployment of HD trucks…

it’s still Monday in my mind.

I watched Studio 60 tonight, as I have since it started. Within the first few minutes, the general plot smacked of “Celestial Navigation” from season one of The West Wing — person of importance is arrested in some tiny town, lots of people go to help, and the whole story is told using flashbacks. Real creative, Sorkin. This seems to be a recurring theme (the plot reuse, that is). Of course, the commentary of the show is classic. I still have a feeling the show won’t make it through the halfway point of the season.
