Fox Sports Makes Bid to Steal NFL Games from CBS

TheStreet: Fox Sports has emerged as the top rival to CBS in the bidding for the broadcast rights to National Football League games on Thursday nights, submitting a “stiff” bid in an effort to keep CBS from extending its two-year agreement for the nation’s most popular sport. The NFL is collecting bids from TV and Internet companies for what is believed to be a one-year agreement to broadcast eight of the 16 Thursday night games.
