Why is Vince Scully not play-by-playing Midwest and East games?

He's getting up in years and doesn't like to travel.\n\nBy the way, it's Vin not Vince.  I know, you can't tell either way when he speaks, but when written in print, it's Vin.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vin_Scully

I feel like the games would be only slightly better if they had overtime...however most countries don't have overtime in regular season games. it would be wierd for MLS to have it. I am going to see the Rapids play Salt Lake on Friday....Go Rapids!

Classic Sports in NY area shows them.  Also MSG runs the games sometimes -- usually the Houston series (finals) and some of Chicago series (Charles Smith has the ball .. rejected ... rejected again -- I am still bitter about those hacks).  You could probably Tivo it off of this and burn a DVD.\n\nI am not aware of ready-made tapes for sale.\n\nCheers

it's not happening this season which realy sucks as they used to show three live games a week where sky only show one. Check there website and you'll find the nba on nasn link on the page has dissapeard just like it did when they did'nt get the rights to show the nfl. It's a real shame they won't be showing the nba know you can only watch it on sky sports and channel five and channel five us.\nIf only they'd bring nba tv over here i'd subscribe to it oh well

was watching, Simpson's coming on, and Montreal doesn't seem to be in the game so I'm switching back and forth. there o line needs some help,  linemen need to starting stepping up.

Probably not, I hope they send all those referees who made the call in the XL Super Bowl back to the minor league like baseball. They should send them back to NFL Europe or Candadian Football.

I'm sure the games will be televised somewhere, but MLB has not announced specific broadcast plans or announced a rights deal with any network. Part of the problem may be that the tournament runs at the same time as the NCAA basketball tournaments, pretty much locking up a lot of dates for both CBS and ESPN (which does early round men's games and the women's tournament pretty much throughtout). That would lead me to believe FOX is the most likely place for games to air, although they may only be interested in the end of the tournament, like the semifinals and championship instead of all the pool games. \n\nThe only information I have been able to find for certain is that subscribers to, MLB.com web broadcasts will be able to get games as part of their off-season package, which they are charging $9.95 for. MLB.com also has a complete tournament schedule, with game times, for the entire tournament.

i have the same problem... im in s.e. PA and am steelers fan and they are showing the one o'clock redsking-eagles game(which is fine) but at 4 o'clock the saints-steelers are supposed to come on.... wouldnt u think that they would show that game seeing as that we are in PA.... but no they are playing the dallas-arizona game.... two teams on the other side of the country.... trust me their are more steelers fans in the philly/jersey area than dallas fans... it ridiculous!

They've done a good job during the regular season and I see no reason why this won't continue in the playoffs. Bill Clement and company are polished and professional and I look forward to watching as much playoff hockey as possible for the next couple of months. I hope ESPN is crying in their worthless NBA beer for losing the NHL contract.\n\nGO SABRES!!!

Part of it is so that no team has home-field advantage, as other people said. That's important since it's just one game. Other sports have a championship series where three games are at one place and four are at the other. Both teams get a pretty even shot. You can't do that with the Super Bowl.\n\nThe other reason is the amount of people who go to the Super Bowl. You have tons of media, advertisers, team representatives, and other people who come in for just this one event whether they go to the game or not. They all need hotels, and that needs to be set up a year or so in advance. Do you remember after Septbember 11, 2001, when the NFL tried to move the Super Bowl one week later and had huge problems with it? They eventually got it moved, but it was a huge headache for the hotels and the car dealer convetion that had to move.

nothing has been announced yet. in 2007 it will be i Las Vegas, this year will be in Houston. usually the NBA switches from east coast to west coast every year, but are gonna make an exception for next year because it is gonna be in Vegas for the first time.

Yeah. Tony Kornheiser blows. Way annoying. Sunday Night Football with Al Michaels and Madden is way better. That's what MNF is supposed to be.

I think it has to do with it being football season. If it were baseball season, there would be more baseball stuff. ESPN always has its "Instant Classics" during the season. I'm sure that then the NBA heats up, you will see more NBA stuff on there, although I'm not sure about the NHL, seeing how ESPN no longer carries it. They just go with whatever is the major sport at the time.

In 1998, baseball added the Arizona Diamondbacks to the NL West and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays to the AL East. That alone would have put 15 teams in each league, which would mean that someone would have to play an interleague game EVERY DAY. Baseball wants to keep interleague "special," so they had to put an even number of teams in each league. That meant that one team had to move, and Milwaukee was chosen. They picked Milwaukee because the old Milwaukee Braves were in the NL, so the city has some NL tradition.

The reasoning of the sports organization is that if you black out a game in the immediate area of the ballpark more people will come to the game instead of watching it on TV.  Not that that makes a whole lot of sense, but it's what they say.  This can also backfire by blacking out a game (Braves) on a local network (TBS) that is watched nationally (in Denver). It's hardly gonna get me to fly to Atlanta, I'll just be pissed off at the network.

The current NFL schedule was developed in 2001and activated for the 2002 season.It works from the 2002 to 2008 seasons.It will take all 32 teams through every team and stadium. That means that every team will play every other team away and at home. The season is set up like this:\n\nNFC & AFC\nEach team plays there division rivals 6 times(3 at home and 3 away)=6 games\n\nOne division will play a whole other division with a combination of home and away(it could be all away or all home or 2 away or 2 home or 1 home and 3 away or 3 home and 1 away)=4 games\n\nEach division willl play one team from the remaining 2 divisions based upon where each team finished the previous \nseason=2 games\n\nEach NFC division will play an entire AFC division and vice versa in any combination of away or home games as was deemed when the schedule was put together=4games\n\nTotal:16 regular season games per team\n\nEach team plays 8 home and 8 away games each season.\n\nStarting in the 2007/2008 season each team will play 1 to 2 games over seas in Europe.\n\nI'm 100% right, I guarantee it. I studied the schedule very carefully and researched it very completely. Anyone who tells you any thing different is a complete idiot.
