CBS and rules?

[Row1and]

why couldn't CBS show the end of the browns and baltimore game? he said something about because of NFL rules, we can't show you the rest of the game. anyone know what is going on?

Are they airing it earlier than others?

BALTIMORE FG!!!! 30-27

No need to watch the end, Cleveland's choking just as bad as they did last week.

Yup, they blew a double digit lead again.

I don't know, but that was a crazy field goal kick

 

[BlackTigers]

Hopefully it gets called back. It went through and bounced back (lol?) so I think they'll reverse it.

If not, wow. o_0

 

[Indolent]

Field goal is good. They made a good call, but again with a rules question...

Why is a field goal kick at the end of the game not reviewable with instant replay?

to the OP - I believe Fox has the doubleheader this week, which means after 4:10 CBS can't have a game on unless its local.

love how CBS bypassed the rules by having their team do live play by play and showing "replays" 5 secs after every play. heheh, this is a good game!

I got it blocked here in Vegas as well...it sucked having to listen to boomer try and call a game. Lots of dead air in more ways than the obvious Its bullshit though and the NFL will i imagine recieve a TON of complaints. Hopefully godell with "review" that "rule"
