Moved back to 4:15.
Eagles/Vikings get the nod. While the Vikings may suck, Favre still draws, unfortunately.

There's probably only two people in the Country upset about this. You guessed it. T.O. and Stinko.

What if Favre doesn't play, can they flex another game into that slot?

They should make it the Browns/Baltimore game.

Not having to watch Cincinnati in prime-time: GOOD.
Having to deal with 3+ hours of Favre-talk: MEH (that's what 'mute' is for).

Just looked at the NFL games in week 16. There arent many good matchups at all. I thought Green Bay @ NYG might be better. I did read today last nights Phila @ Dallas games was NBC's highest rated Sun night telecast ever.

I think Vick is playing pretty good but I am getting tired of hearing that he isn't getting the same treatment as every other QB in the league.

He seems to get about the same treatment as Harrison without the fines. I don't care that the smacks across the helmet get called or not as they are wearing a helmet....but Vick and Ben get more of those not called it seems to me.

They're screwed into it now... it has to be declared something like 12 or 13 days in advance (today/tomorrow).

Probably wish they had waited a few hours before making the decision. Although Vick is hot and should draw some viewers.ts1227;600133 wrote:They're screwed into it now... it has to be declared 13 days in advance (today).

This actually really surprises me.
Yes, the Bungals suck. BUT the Chargers are making the playoff push and this could be a deciding game.

The national sports media is sucking Rivers' dick pretty hard right now.

You could give them to me, this will be my first game this year. I am actually happy they moved it back; now it's much easier to find a babysitter.

Brutus I would definitely not buy tickets before you go to the game. You will be able to get in for around $10. True Story: A couple weeks ago against the Saints a guy I know had 2 extra tickets and he didn't really try to sell them he just left them under his windshield wiper with a sign that had FREE on it... well they got back from the stadium after the game and not only were his 2 tickets still there but someone else put 4 more tickets on his windshield!!!

Jets/Bears should have been the game. Both teams in the playoff hunt.

I dont know, but could the Jets get it? Havent they had all their primetime games for the year (limit 5)?

I think the Jets may have met their primetime limit (they're close). In addition, I think the networks protected that game from being moved as well.

You have a point with the limit for primetime games. I did not actually look at that. Just thought it would be a good matchup for the Sunday nighter for that week.

Yeah, I looked up and they have had their 5. But with the addition of the NFL Thursday night games, Im not sure if 5 is still the limit. Also not sure if they count a flex as a game since it wasnt scheduled, but I would assume that they do.

Under the current agreement: No more than three teams may make 6 prime time appearances. All other teams are permitted five, after the first 3 have been aired in prime time. The problem was this.....Fox and CBS may each protect a total of 5 of their games each Sunday. This doesnt leave much to choose from when you have already had Sat games and one on Monday.
