The WOOSA should open negotiations with NBC for its 2004 TV contract and leave Pax behind once that sorry-arsed contract is over with. Paul
The implications are that WUSA will probably fold and NBC should consider taking over MLS games for TV...just my opinion.
None, It just shows how desperate NBC is for any Football programming no matter how bad it may be (see XFL)
And meanwhile this one AFL game drew on NBC drew higher ratings than ANY MLS game on ABC in 7 years. Andy
