    The wee hours of Monday? Not trying to smart but, If the game is at 1:00, ends at 4:00...Let's say a few hours after to shower and load up...Flight leaves at 7 or 8...Home by 8 or 9....Right?

    Lewan. Yes he did. Guy can't catch a break. He had a season ending injury before I think. I only remember it because he then made posted a video of himself crying about it, which honestly was hard not to make fun of.

    Yes, but if they flax the game till later then you get a later landing, that was my point. Move to 4 and you get in at midnight, maybe home by 1 or 2..move it to 8 and then it becomes a whole different story. Like I said yes they are pros and need to adjust sometime, and falexis not even an option yet, but this year in particular I just want the changes to a minimum. Enough other stuff to deal with.

    I like 1 p.m. games for us. If all of them were that, I would not mind.

    Raiders vs Bucs is the Sunday Night game and it’s in jeopardy of being rescheduled due to positive Covid tests. I’m thinking it’s possible for the Steelers vs Titans (the no doubt game of the week) to take that open Sunday Night spot. And considering I’m in the dismal NY football tv market (we’re just about the only ones in the country not getting said game of the week) that would be amazing.

    They moved the Raiders game to 4:00, and switched the Seattle/Arizona game to SNF.

    Saw this, my only ? is what does switching time slots have anything to do with Covid?

    The more I thought about it the more I was resigned to the fact that a different game would be flexed considering 90% of the country is already getting the Steelers vs Titans game.

    They just want to make sure there is a night game in case they have to cancel the Raiders/Bucs.

    I’m being selfish but I go to the games.

    1 PM for home games so I can get home at a reasonable hour.

    4 PM away games so I can get something done Sunday.

    Pure selfishness.

    Let me get this straight they moved the Bucs Vs. Raiders game to Sunday afternoon instead of Sunday Night due to Covid? Still playing the game though?

    Seachickens Vs. Cardinals now moves from 4 pm to SNF?

    Anybody care to explain this to me?

    Positive Covid tests now determine start times?

    You'd think they'd want to move the Steelers/Titans to primetime, over Seahawks/Cardinals.
    Oh well, I have to stream it. I get the lowly clowns/bungles game here in stainland.

    I assume they wanted to move it now so there would be a game locked in for Sunday night, instead of wait n see.

    I read CBS wasn't going to give up the Steelers/Titans game.
