Selection of Games to be Telecast Regionally
By network contract, all team road games must be telecast back to that team’s home territory (franchised market and secondary
blackout markets). Other than this requirement, the televising network is the sole selector of which game(s) will be aired in all
markets.
RECORDS &
HISTORY
Number of Games in a Market
With regard to the number of NFL games seen in a particular market on a Sunday afternoon, there are three situations.
u
An NFL franchised market (i.e. New York, Chicago, Dallas, etc.) — On a week when the NFL team (or teams) in a
market is on the ROAD Sunday, Monday or Thursday night, or Saturday afternoon, the market will receive three Sunday afternoon
games: Two telecasts by the network with the doubleheader week and one game by the network with the single-game week. When
an NFL team in the market is playing at HOME on Sunday afternoon, the market will receive two games: One game on FOX and
one game on CBS, regardless of which network has the doubleheader week. That is, unless 1) the home team’s assigned telecaster
that day (CBS or FOX) also is on the doubleheader network and 2) the game is sold out 72 hours in advance. In that case, the three
games would be the home team’s and two other games in the remaining early or late window.
u
All other television markets (including secondary blackout markets) — Network affiliates in these markets will
receive three games on Sunday afternoon, two on the doubleheader network (one early and one late) and one game on the singlegame network (either early or late).
2007 REVIEW
Blackout Policy
To ensure an NFL club’s ability to sell all of its game tickets, and to make televised games more attractive to viewers through the
presence of sellout crowds, the following policy is observed by the NFL:
For a home game to be aired locally in the franchised market and in any secondary blackout market(s), the game must
be sold out 72 hours in advance of kickoff. If the game is not a sellout by the 72-hour cutoff, both the home franchised
market and the secondary markets of the carrying network will air an alternate game.

From the Rule Book: “In the plane of each end line, there shall be a centrally placed horizontal crossbar 18 feet 6 inches in
length, the top face of which is 10 feet above the ground. The goal is the vertical plane extending indefinitely above the crossbar and
between the lines indicated by the outer edges of the goal posts. All goal posts will be the single-standard type, offset from the end
line and bright gold in color. The uprights will extend 30 feet above the crossbar and will be no less than 3 inches and no more than
4 inches in diameter. An orange-colored ribbon 4 inches by 42 inches is to be attached to the top of each post.”
History: The NFL moved its goal posts from the goal line to the end line prior to the 1974 season. In 1966, the year after Don
Chandler’s controversial field goal sent a Packers-Colts playoff game into overtime, the league raised the height of the goal posts to
“a minimum 20 feet above the crossbar.”

During the 1923 season, the Green Bay Press-Gazette published a major story announcing the Packers had signed Jack “Dollie”
Gray, an end who’d received All-America honors at Princeton.
According to participation charts kept by George Calhoun, Gray started his only game played — a 24-3 loss to the Racine Legion
at Bellevue Park.
Suspicious by Gray’s performance, Curly Lambeau checked the player’s background, only to discover he was an imposter.
Lambeau quickly gave the player — whoever he was — his walking papers.
However, because he did play in a game, the Packers still list him on their all-time roster.

Hutson settles on the Bay
1962 Lambeau Field program feature, by Steve Boda Jr.
Green Bay has always had that special somebody, either on the field
or in the background, offering inspiration or carrying on the tradition for
the City of the Bay that is unique in the annals of professional sports.
And yet, the Packers came perilously close to being denied one of
their most popular on-the-field performers. Instead of catching passes
and acquiring immortality in Green Bay, Don Hutson might well have
been relegated to obscurity in, of all places, Brooklyn.
By 1935, the Packers and Green Bay had fought side by side through
one crisis after another, adversity and discouragement. A proud and

like a flash he would turn and invariably get to the point where the ball and
he were to arrive, and he caught by sure hands.
But landing this target for the accurate-throwing Herber was another matter.
Hutson frankly admitted to the Packer coach that John (Shipwreck) Kelly of the football Brooklyn Dodgers had approached him and
he had a tentative agreement to sign with Kelly.
Both Lambeau and Kelly redoubled their efforts. Lambeau pointed out that Green Bay, with its emphasis on passing, was the place
for Hutson in pro football. He stressed that Brooklyn, under Paul Schissler, relied on a ground attack, featuring power plays and that
Hutson, at 185 pounds, would not fit in with the Dodgers’ pattern of play.
Hutson was unveiled in Green Bay on Sept. 22, 1935, taking a starting position at left end against the Bears. The visitors kicked-off
and Herber carried back to the 17. On the first play, Herber drifted back to pass. The Bears, familiar with previous Green Bay pass
patterns, converged on the most likely receiver, Johnny Blood. The rookie left end was ignored.
Herber let go from the Packer 6 and Hutson pulled in the toss at mid-field. Challenging him was the Bears’ fastest back, Beattie
