After all, making them replay the game the next day is only going to make more people mad when more shows get bumped to make room for that game. At least on Sundays, 4-7pm is cleared out for football. If the game has to be played again on Monday, you'd be wiping out three hours of scheduled programming, making even more people mad. The entire problem could be fixed if CBS and Fox would just acknowledge the fact that football is going to run 30 minutes late, and just set the rest of the schedule that way. List "60 Minutes" as starting at 7:30 and "Amazing Race" for 8:30. Adjust the starting times for "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy." At least then, the DVR's have a better chance of recording the right shows. Hehehe… I don’t know if we need to go THAT far.

Here's what I say they should do (they as in the sports associations, like NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB): Let's say the TV guide says that the game is going to end at 10:00. The game MUST end no later than 10 on the dot, or else this will happen: Let's say both teams go into this 0-0. If this game does not end by 10:00, the game will automatically end at 10:00, regardless of score, and both teams will have a loss on their record, prompting them to re-do it the next day, and they'll have to keep on re-doing it until they get it right.
