Philly, Houston Rev up for Rare World Series-NFL Double Dip (U.S. News & World Report)

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The road trip of the NFL season was mapped out months ago for Eagles fan Kevin Ridpath. There was a flicker of hope the season-ticket ...

— maybe the Game 5 score will be relayed to him over his headset. 27, 1986 night the Giants played across the river against Washington on Monday Night Football in a decade when both events were still peak TV viewing experiences. The Astros' 5-0 win in Game 4 tied the series 2-2 and will send it back to Houston. That means Eagles fans can flip to WPHL 17 and Texans fans can tune to MY20 KTXH-TV during World Series commercial breaks. “I can’t imagine they’re not going to have a baseball game on in the stadium somewhere.” But it wasn’t as easy back in the day to catch every Joe Morris touchdown for the New York Giants or Darryl Strawberry home run the New York Mets when they competed at the same time. Thanks to a Game 3 rainout, both Eagles-Texans and Astros-Phillies play on the same night and the same time, causing some headaches — though it’s more sports heaven in Philly — for fans who would rather not divide their fandom. The NFL game streams on Amazon’s Prime Video, but all Thursday games also air on broadcast television in their local markets. Yeah, the same date as a potential Game 6. “Other people are canceling because they want to be here tonight and tomorrow night.” More than 50% of the televisions around the stadium that would normally show other NFL games will instead show Game 5. There was a flicker of hope the season-ticket holder could catch the Birds in Arizona until a wedding got in the way.
