Nope, it will help the ratings.

I hate the freaking Steelers. We Browns fans want to see them lose every week.

[TARAsia Fan]

4:51 left in the Jets-Broncos game. The other CBS games have finished.

[TARAsia Fan]

Expect an 8:40 start time.

Next week, there's regional coverage, but there's a potential mess as there will be four ... count 'em, four games at 4:05 p.m. A lot of regions will be affected by possible delays and four different starting times for your region. I'll keep you posted and also try to keep you up to date from TARCon, provided I can gain access to a computer from there.

Well excuse me . If you must know my team is the 49ers but peeyew ...

[TARAsia Fan]

The Steelers are a corrupt organization. Everyone knows the Mafia funded them.

Anyway, 8:41 p.m. start time for TAR.

lol, somebody already said that

I've checked my reference sources for next Sunday and as I mentioned, there are four games at 4:05 which means depending on the game, four different starting times for TAR so I highly suggest going over to CBS.com and signing up for the CBS Eye-lert to notify you either by e-mail or text message when the finale of TAR is going to start. Yes, this will affect us at TARCon as well because the New York Jets are playing in San Francisco next week. This is one giant mess.

Here are the games and preliminary station lists. By Thursday, these lists become locked in and there could be changes between now and then. I will post the final lists at that time.

[TARAsia Fan]

I might as well give you the early CBS games so you can check to see if your station will be showing TAR at its regular time at 8 p.m.

CBS LOVES ME 

[apskip]

Ken, I'm having trouble with the relevance of the CBS 1pm games. What matters for the start of the Amazing Race is the 405 or 415pm games on CBS. Here they are:

MIA @ BUF  4:05 PM           
NE @ SEA   4:05 PM         
KC @ DEN   4:05 PM           
NYJ @ SF  4:05 PM 

The maps for distribution of these games do not appear to be available yet, but I will make a guess that they will cover most of the country and the probability of a football delay is very high. For you, Peach and Chateau at TARCON XIII this might not be good news. For me, with a special service to sing at Sunday night, the latest possible start is fabulous.

[TARAsia Fan]

I'm just stating those with 1 p.m. games don't have to worry about the late starting time and I posted the station lists because not everyone follows football like you and I, ap. Not everyone is aware what game is on their station so I figured for this one week, I would post the 1 p.m. games.

I'm going to have to set my DVR to run an hour after TAR is supposed to finish due to the Pats game.

And we appreciate it Ken! ! Know that!

Ok, the distribution map is out for the CBS games and boy, is it pretty! Lots of colors and pastels!

Anyway, the lower part of the page has the colors for the 4:05 p.m. games. It's a good portion of the country. Check for your area.

[TARAsia Fan]

One change thus far. The Lions will not sell out in Detroit meaning WWJ, the CBS affiliate in the Motor City has changed from Jets-49ers at 4:05 p.m. to Houston-Green Bay at 1 p.m. This means that Detroit will see TAR at its regular time and will not incur any delays.

I'll make that change in the station lists.

All four games are at halftime right now, so the delays might not be that long.

[north09]

the game that aired here in eastern PA ended at 7. 60 minutes didn't star untill 7:03.
