Probably the metrosexual connection... if there's a large population of messenger bags in the area, its a safe bet you're going to be watching the 69rs.
The lack of good games in any particular poster's area is a function of a couple different things:
The NFL has spread games out, into Sunday night and the 17th week. These games generally come out of the 4 o'clock game range.
Luck: last week there were something like 7 out of 14 total games between teams with winning records. It's hard to get that 2 weeks in a row. Last week we had a party; this week we get the hangover.
Also, you've got stupid local decisions in combo with the quasi-fascist way these games are controlled by the NFL and the few networks involved.
