Redskins vs. Cowboys Thanksgiving 2006...Not Happening (rumor just a rumor)

The Redskins/Cowboys on Thanksgiving would normally be seen by 100 million people or more in the U.S. NFL Network has 35 million subscribers plus the two local simulcasts. Does this mean that those living outside of Dallas and Washington who do not have NFL Network will have to watch 'Yes Dear' reruns on Turkey Day? I can't believe Fox wouldn't throw a fit. That Dallas game is the sweetest plum. Something feels strange here.

Update: Now that I look at it, that 100 million number looks high. But still, that Thanksgiving Dallas game is one of the real perks of the broadcast deal. It has to be one of their highest rated games, if not the highest.
