I bet not. I bet it will. TV networks live off of the NFL, they'll switch up any schedule to fit an extra NFL game in. SmootSmack 10-20-2005, 03:16 PM I think one reason we don't see more Friday games is that, if I remember right, some law was passed around the time the AFL folded into the NFL preventing the NFL from televising games on Friday night or Saturday if any high school or college football game was being played within 70 (or so) miles of the broadcast station that same day. I think the NFL agreed to this in exchange for a law exempting their merger with the AFL from antitrust review. Riggo44 10-20-2005, 03:17 PM Is the game going to be televised? I bet not. I bet the NFL network our someone else will carry it. BrudLee 10-20-2005, 05:14 PM ESPN does not have a game this week. I wonder if they'll pick it up... Gmanc711 10-20-2005, 05:37 PM Yeah I like it that its all on sundays. Its easy to make up bullshit for whoever asks and just say I have religion on sundays (which I do). I really dont think this game will be on nationally, probaboly just the Cheif/Dolphin markets. kingerock 10-20-2005, 06:15 PM If they moved NFL games to Fridays it would kill the free farm system. That's why no Friday/Saturday games. Keep the good 'ol High School/College feeder system alive and kicking. Besides, down here in Texas, Friday night football is sacred. bjschmonsees 10-20-2005, 07:39 PM Last year when the Titans/Dolphins game was moved to Saturday morning becasue of a hurricane it wasn't televised, so I doubt this one will be... Warpath 10-20-2005, 08:52 PM Last year when the Titans/Dolphins game was moved to Saturday morning becasue of a hurricane it wasn't televised, so I doubt this one will be... Exactly, everytime I have seen an NFL game moved because of weather, it seems to only be televised in local markets. I will be extremely surprised if anyone carries the game nationally. Gmanc711 10-20-2005, 08:56 PM They announced that only Kansas City and Miami markets will get the game. I'm not sure if those with NFL Sunday Ticket will get the game. I'm pretty sure they will be getting it, as we did the Titans/Dolphins last year. Riggo44 10-20-2005, 09:02 PM . I'm not sure if those with NFL Sunday Ticket will get the game. I'm pretty sure they will be getting it, as we did the Titans/Dolphins last year.[/QUOTE] I hope so. If it was a Redskins game I would be pissed if NFL sunday ticket didn't show the game. That's what I pay 200 bucks for. I think they will show it.
