The NFL and YouTube TV really need to figure out Sunday Ticket.
I can't watch Commanders - Eagles on Sunday Ticket because it's "on locally"
But the local FOX is showing Saints - Lions overtime, meaning Commanders - Eagles isn't on.
So I'm paying for a game I can't watch, and this really shouldn't be that hard to figure out.
And why is the game blacked out on Sunday Ticket in the first place. It's the local broadcast!

44-11 run in the 4th & OT…
44-11!!!!!!! Kenny Atkinson doesn’t just deserve to lose his job, he might not see heaven after that performance. Check his Kalshi accounts. I can’t believe what I just witnessed…
There’s a 0% chance Cleveland wins this series after that. It’s over.
MIKE TIRICO’S ALL-TIME GREAT OLYMPICS SIGN-OFF:
“All the young people out there, those dreams are formed now. Go chase them, our country loves sports, it brings us together unlike anything else. And if you didn’t know that: you saw it in Team USA Hockey”
"Someone kept calling the radio station requesting the same song. For 114 days straight.
I'm a DJ at K-Rock 98.3. Overnight shift. Midnight to 6 a.m. Mostly lonely truckers and insomniacs listening.
Around 1:15 a.m. every single night, same number calls. Same request, "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses. Eight-minute guitar solo version.
First week, I played it. Thought maybe someone really loved that song.
Second week, I started screening the calls. "We just played that yesterday, how about something else?"
"November Rain, please."
"We have a no-repeat policy"
Click. They'd hang up.
But they'd call back the next night. 1:15 a.m. exactly. "November Rain."
This went on for months. My coworkers thought it was hilarious. Started a betting pool on when the caller would give up.
They never did.
Day 47, "Look, buddy, what's the deal with this song?"
Long silence. Then, "Just play it. Please."
The voice sounded older. Male. Tired.
I played it.
Day 82, My manager told me to block the number. "It's harassment."
I didn't block it.
Day 91, I answered. Before they could speak, I said, "It's queued up. Playing at 1:30."
"Thank you," they whispered.
Day 114, The call came. But different voice. Younger. Female.
"This is about the November Rain requests," she said. "My grandfather passed away this morning. He won't be calling anymore."
My stomach dropped.
"He had dementia," she continued. "Couldn't remember much. But he remembered that song. Said it was playing when he proposed to my grandmother in 1992. At some restaurant. She died five years ago. The song was the only piece of her he could still hold onto."
She was crying. "He'd get confused at night. Agitated. The only thing that calmed him was that song. So I'd call you. Every night. He'd sit next to me, listening on the radio, and for eight minutes he'd remember her. He'd smile. Then forget again. But for those eight minutes....."
I couldn't speak.
"Thank you for playing it," she said. "Even when you were annoyed. Even when your manager wanted you to stop. Those eight minutes were everything to him."
She hung up.
I sat in that booth. Played "November Rain" at 1:15 a.m. Nobody requested it. I just played it.
Did it again the next night.
And every night since.
Some listeners complained. "Why do you keep playing the same song?"
I never explained. Just said, "Station policy."
But truckers started calling in. Said they pulled over during that 1:15 a.m. slot. Listened to the whole eight minutes. Some knew why. Most didn't.
One guy said, "I don't even like that song. But something about hearing it at 1:15 every night..... feels like church. Like we're all stopping together. For something."
They were right.
It's been six months. I still play it. Every single night. 1:15 a.m.
Some things aren't about what you like. They're about what someone needed. Once. When nothing else worked.
That song's not mine anymore. It belongs to an old man who forgot everything except how to love his wife.
And now it belongs to everyone driving lonely highways at 1:15 a.m., looking for a reason to keep going.
Eight minutes. Every night.
That's my church now."
Let this story reach more hearts....

In my opinion, Brian Daboll is the ideal target for the Eagles at offensive coordinator.
Daboll has experience working with Nick Sirianni, Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley.
Three of the most important pillars in the Eagles organization right now.
He has shown the ability to utilize the skillset of three different mobile quarterbacks in recent years (Josh Allen, Daniel Jones and Jaxson Dart).
Sirianni has mentioned that Daboll served as a mentor to him in 2012, when they coached together for the Chiefs.
Daboll has extensive experience calling plays in the NFL with multiple teams, along with one season at Alabama.
While his heated exchanges with both players and coaches as a head coach are well documented, I believe that Daboll’s fiery personality could be what the Eagles need.
It felt like Kevin Patullo didn’t have much of a spine at times and that wouldn’t be an issue at all with Daboll as offensive coordinator.
The Eagles have seen what an experienced coordinator that isn’t afraid to speak their mind can bring to a team. *cough* Vic Fangio! *cough*
While I’m not saying that Daboll is the caliber of coordinator that Fangio is, I do believe that he checks a lot of the boxes that the Eagles need to focus on in 2026.
I also believe that Daboll is less likely to land a head coaching gig in 2027 than the other potential offensive coordinator candidates.
Lastly, here’s an article from 2022 where Sirianni discussed his relationship with Daboll:
