ACTUALLY WE’LL BE WATCHING JERRY JONES ON NIP/TUCK: Christine Daniels has the sobering news that the handful of NFL fans left in Los Angeles will be treated to the Chargers-Raiders game this Sunday on CBS instead of Cowboys-Patriots:

Excerpt: “CBS is carrying both games, which are scheduled to kick off at the same time, 1:15 p.m. Ninety percent of the nation will see the 5-0 Patriots against the 5-0 Cowboys, but a KCBS Sports spokesperson said Tuesday that the Los Angeles market will instead get the 2-2 Raiders at the 2-3 Chargers.”
Mike Nelson, KCBS-TV PR guy in Los Angeles: “The NFL considers Los Angeles a secondary market for the Chargers, so NFL regulations require CBS to carry the Chargers home game, unless it isn’t sold out.”

Non-Angeleno explanation: Thanks to the Raiders
The KCBS-TV spokeshole Nelson though gets out the long knives for anyone might have the gall to call him on it: “You know how football fans, and sports fans in general, are … they want what they want. Its certainly frustrating for some people.”
Yeah, he’s a little patronizing, but give the guy a break. If we had to explain how the “SURVIVOR: CHINA” Fantasy League works 50 times a day, we’d be touchy too.
