Seattle game on TV

The Rams and several local firms bought up enough of this week's unsold tickets to clear the stupid NFL blackout rule and get Sunday's game on TV. Noon on KTVI-2.

This might, however, be the last home game that gets on TV until Kansas City comes here in December. I'm guessing that's the one game on the schedule that has the chance to be an actual sellout, since Chiefs fans travel well and that team is playing well. I give the Rams and the local business community high credit for putting out funds to help get the first three games on TV, but we can hardly expect them to do it all season.

For all the taxpayer dollars that get put into building stadiums for NFL teams, we sure do get screwed as far as whether or not we get to watch our local team on TV. Maybe the fans/taxpayers should be the folks who go on strike after this season.
