CBS’s stubbornness cost fans heartfelt Eli Manning moment

Sticks and stones may break our bones, but this TV junk is gonna kill us.

On consecutive Sundays here, Dolphins-Jets then Dolphins-Giants, CBS had the opportunity to display right-there, can’t-miss, must-see shots.

Sunday, in what was billed as Eli Manning’s likely last home game, CBS cut to commercials after the first change of possession, a missed Dolphins’ field goal. CBS did not stick around to provide the scene and sounds as Manning hit the field.

Upon returning from those commercials, play-by-play man Spero Dedes said Manning was “showered” with cheers “during that commercial break.”

Oh.
