Sunday Night Football?

[.GR]

I cant find it anywhere. Who is playing SNF?

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

No Sundy Night Football this week.

 

[.GR]

Why? That is stupid!

 

[yezzir]

Theres no SNF this week. NBC's playing 40 Year Old Virgin instead hahahah

Something tells me it has to do with the Chargers and Saints playing in London. That would probably be considered a late game in London, even though it's played at 1 here.

someone told me it had to do with the MLB Postseason... i have no clue how that would relate to NBC, but w/e. Ill go look it up.

Ok, I looked it up, and a yahoo Answer (doesnt mean its right) says that it happens every year because of the World Series. It just appears that for some reason the NFL doesnt want to compete with the World Series.

In fact, the question I found was asked on Yahoo a year ago, and it was on Week 8. It just happens to be that the NFL doesnt want to compete in ratings, even though I personally think they would crush the MLB Ratings.

 

[yezzir]

Maybe the MLB pays them not to have a game? haha

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Another person on Yahoo suggested that. It actually makes sense. Fox and NBC are always competing, 365 days in the year. Why they would stop competing for 1 day makes no sense? Obviously FOX has the dough to pay off NBC, and they want the spotlight on Sunday night. It makes sense to me, but personally I'd like to start seeing Sunday Afternoon games for the WS, because im not gonna stay up till 11 to watch the Phillies and Rays when i got school the next morning.

+1

lol, and personally I think places like Sports Bars will get an even larger Buzz, because they'll have NFL on a few TV's, and the World Series game on another 2 or 3 TV's.

Actually it'd be 11:30-12, seeing as the games have too much garbage going on from 8-8:30

 

[High.Flyer88]

There should be SNF and MNF every single week

The NFL should find a way to make us watch EVERY SINGLE NFL GAME without shelling out money

 

[Giantmetfan07]

I'd love to see that happen too but it will never happen. Its 2008, everything is about making money.

Dang, I was hoping the G-Men Steelers game would be on.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

that woulda been a great SNF, but nah their on at 4:00 on FOX (i think fox... not sure)

It is on FOX at 4:00

and 95% of the country gets it (feel sorry for the west coasters that have to get the lame Niners-Seahawks game)

 

[Giantmetfan07]

is Fox airing a 1:00 game? If so I think its Jets... idk why, buti had a dream last night that fox aired a New York double header..

Fox is airing 1pm games...CBS isnt.

Philly vs Atlanta in my area, of course.

I see Giants vs Steelers, CBS, 4pm on my Comcast channel guide though. :smile:

Especially, since the Seahawks lit up the 49ers. Now, against any other team, they wouldn`t have scored quite as much, but still a pretty lobsided affair.

that was the most brutal sunday night ever.. im just sick of baseball, and there was nothing else on...
