Spotts1701, Fighting The Good Fight @spotts1701.bsky.social · 14/10/2026It was annoying this weekend that I had to sit through the clown show that was the Giants-Commanders finish before they switched to 49ers-Seahawks because "here's bonus coverage since the other game ended early". I'm *in* the 49ers media territory, so why isn't that game the priority? 010
