I remember the Patriots were playing the Dolphins and I expected that the game would be shown locally. They were showing Tampa Bay instead. Sometimes it's the Jaguars.

I love going to Gators Dockside in Town Square at Spanish Springs to watch the games. It's a great atmosphere and good food. You'll find plenty of fans rooting for your team and you'll get to sit together. In fact, I'm usually disappointed when the Pats don't play on Sunday. I miss going to Gator's.
Tampa Bay and Jacksonville are considered to be in our viewing area. If the team is playing, they will be on television. If the team is on a bye - like Tampa Bay - we will get something else. When either or both are so lousy they cannot sell tickets they are subject to the NFL black-out and we do not see them. Which is probably why we are not watching Jax right now. I do remember seeing in the paper the other day that they would be on.

The blackout is usually a good thing - unless you want to watch who they are playing.

I consider it a gift because I now get to watch a better game.
