Hello:

While on the subject of the Superbowl, maybe some of you TV types can answer 
this. During FB season, CBS is constantly late airing 60 Minutes to the point 
where I have stopped watching that show. That's OK with me if a game runs over 
on occasion because of the character of FB, but why does it happen every 
bloody Sunday? What is the reason that the game could not start say, 30 minutes 
earlier? Often 60 Minutes is late getting on the air only by 15 to 30 minutes. 
This delay would help a lot.

Now is there a legitimate logistical nightmare to starting early, or is it 
simply the arrogance of the football franchises not wanting to play nice with 
the TV networks?
