NFL ALLOWS PATRIOTS-GIANTS GAME TO AIR ON TWO NETWORKS
The NFL relented Wednesday and said that it would allow its NFL Network coverage of Saturday's New England Patriots/New York Giants game to be simulcast on both CBS and NBC. The Patriots are aiming to end the season without a loss. "We have taken this extraordinary step because it is in the best interest of our fans," commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "What we have seen for the past year is a very strong consumer demand for NFL Network. We appreciate CBS and NBC delivering the NFL Network telecast on Saturday night to the broad audience that deserves to see this potentially historic game." The NFL's action came after some congressional lawmakers had threatened to reconsider the league's antitrust exemption.
