voted too, while the network might have a legit agenda of trying to figure out which game to play they also get a nice spike in their website hits . . . hmmmmm.
maybe they took notice of how many skins fans voted for the probowl online and realized we are an organized bunch? hmmmm . . .
sorry, just the conspiracy theorist in me i suppose. just suspicious like when i canceled my cell phone service a moonth ago but got something in the mail saying my account wasnt closed, called them and it seems they have a "computer glitch" that just so happens to err in their favor.
go skins!!
its was 56% to 44% in favor of the cowboys game when i voted.

This is brutal. I pay for Sunday Ticket so I can watch every Skins game while in exile down in South Carolina. But guess where I will be this weekend? In HAMPTON ROADS, VA at my sister-in-laws house! Can anyone recommend a decent place down there to watch the game if they end up preempting it?

I voted to help you out but dude, get the Sunday Ticket and you'll never have to worry again.
In our area we get every single game and this is the first time they have thought to show another game.

Some real good early news. The GM ( Doug Davis) from FOX just returned my phone call, very nice and smart business man, AND UNDERSTANDS THIS WAS A VERY BAD MISTAKE!
At this point and there will be one more call this afternoon to closeout. This is being worked out at the very highest level, but right NOW he just gave my 99% assurance OUR REDSKINS WILL BE SHOWN OVER THE PUKES/ PHILLY GAME!
Keep voting until we get the FINAL! THANKS TO ALL OF REDSKIN NATION AND KEEP VOTING.

I usually watch the game at home SC Skins Fan but I think Applebys and some other places have games on. Sorry.. not much help I know but if I find out about a place I'll let you know. I think we'll end up getting the game on Fox like usual.

That's cool. Good of him to individually call you back as well. Very professional.
I'm glad they realized their mistake. Live and learn.

Great job everyone. I had 7 people vote from here at work. I didn't think that this would fly but not sure why they cannot show one game on FOX and the other on WAVY.
