Effectiveness of spreading a petition to get Pats v. Giants on TV?

That local market crap is BS as well. I live in Youngstown, OH where 85% of football fans are either Browns or Steelers fans. If you draw a diaginal line from Cleveland to Pittsburgh, Youngstown is smack dab in the middle.

Now get this...if the Browns are not sold out...the game is locally blacked out. However, last years NFLN Browns/Steelers game was not on local TV in Youngstown.

Seems we are local enough to black out, but not local enough to be considered "local market". Total BS.
