If the Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers can’t sell out their home games against other opponents, it’s only appropriate for the contest between the two teams to be blacked out.
Sunday’s game in Oakland will be the 10th straight home game blacked out and the third one this season.
Joining the blackout list for the first time this season are the Buffalo Bills, who failed to sell out Ralph Wilson Stadium for the first time since 2006.
And guess who is calling the Buffalo-Jacksonville game on Sunday?
Gus Johnson.
I’m starting to think there’s a conspiracy on sticking Johnson with the least amount of viewers as possible.
In the words of Johnson, “Heartbreak City!”
