You Don't Deserve an NFL Team If

You can't sell out an NFL playoff game

Hat tip to Jason at Bleeding Green Nation via lifetime Eagles fan, season ticket holder and Curly R reader/lurker Wilbert Montgomery, the Minneapolis Star Tribune is reporting that the Eagles-Vikings wildcard playoff game may be blacked out in the local market due to poor ticket sales.

As of 10:30 am CT there were still eleven thousand tickets left for Sunday's playoff game. NFL rules dictate that these tickets must all be sold by 3:30 pm CT tomorrow, New Year's Day, which seems to me to be very unlikely. The Vikings are going to ask for an extension to Friday which I expect the league will grant but come one dudes, this is a playoff game we are talking about.

I hope Eagles fans invade in their thousands. This is what happens to fans that cannot support their team:




Blackout from here. The Colts bailing on Baltimore from here.
