The NFL RedZone channel is one of the greatest things to happen to sports fans in this history of sports and Scott Hanson is the perfect host who makes laying on your couch for seven hours (or more) every Sunday a very enjoyable experience.
People love Scott Hanson and rightfully so – the guy is a total gem.
Late in yesterday’s action Hanson showed everyone that he’s human and made a mistake. With the Raiders-Seahawks being the last game going on he told all viewers in the United States to switch over to CBS to see the overtime period because NFL Network isn’t allowed to keep RedZone on the air when only one game remains. It happens almost every week and every week you just switch over to Fox or CBS and get your last fill of football before, well, Sunday Night Football.
Here’s what just about everyone saw last night, however, when they switched over to CBS for the Raiders-Seahawks finish:

60 Minutes, because CBS didn’t have a national game in the afternoon window.
I know because I was one of those people who jumped over to CBS and ended up missing Josh Jacobs’ 86-yard, game-winning TD run.

Hanson immediately jumped on Twitter and shared this message with fans:
…I would never intentionally mislead you, our loyal viewers.
There is no one on earth (that I know of) who wants to show you more football than I do.
However: I am an employee – not the boss. I have orders just like many of you do at your jobs. More later. Thank you.

Scott – no hard feelings bro. No apology needed. There’s no one better at providing 7 hours of commercial free football. https://t.co/zPg525thuu

See he didn’t even need to explain because everyone already loves him (and any non insane person would realize he has nothing to do with what networks carry what games) but I guess this is part of why everyone already loves him. https://t.co/RqLAkGAldX
