I say do us a real favor and black out every Bills game, sold out or not. Run a replay of the game on Ch 7 at 6 and 11 pm. That way their ratings in that time slot would surely rise.

That got me to thinking. There is an epidemic of piracy in regard to streaming of NFL games on the Internet. The piracy issue and the blackout issue gave me an idea. I call it 'total blackout'. If an NFL game is blacked out in its home market, and the away team also had their most recent home game blacked out as well, then the networks would not have to send a crew down and carry the game at all. Instead, the channels that were to carry the game in the away market could pick a game of their choice (which is helpful for markets on the edges of each team's territory). It'd only come into effect for a handful of games, but considering blacked-out games are usually the ones most affected by piracy, it would make a dent in it (after all, you can't pirate a broadcast that doesn't exist).
