My guess, FWIW: Everybody in the league hierarchy assumed that the game would resume, like it always does after an injury, and the five minute warmup after a delay is standard. So that's what the officiating center told John Parry, and when Joe Buck reported it, nobody thought it was erroneous. It wasn't until the players and coaches made clear that they didn't want to continue, and the Players Association told that to the commissioner, that the possibility of postponement or cancellation became a real option. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
