NFL 2012-13 Season

I'm guessing they scheduled it for Sat.because Monday is Christmas eve.

I see nothing wrong with having a Monday Night game on Christmas eve, they use to do it.

Heck I don't either.It's the NFL who knows why they schedule things the way they do.I was annoyed that the preempted the Sunday night game for the President.It's not like we didn't have 50 other channels to see it on.

At least they moved the game to NBC Sports, fortunately the Prez was short ... that said, I feel for those involved in the school incident.

I don't recall the NFL ever having games on Christmas Eve night. Last year, the games on 12/24 were all in the afternoon....

The first pro football game that I attended was the AFL Championship game between San Diego and Buffalo on Christmas Day. I think it was 1964.

There was a game on Christmas Day night last season too. Jimbo was referring to games being played on Christmas Eve night...

This was years ago.

I'm interested to know when that supposedly was. The closest I could find happened in 2007:

In 2007, Christmas Eve landed on a Monday. This proved especially problematic; the league's television contract with ESPN requires the league to provide 17 Monday Night Football games over the course of the first 16 weeks of the season (the league no longer schedules a Monday night game for the final weekend of the season, for multiple reasons). In seasons past, the league compensated for an instance like this by giving ESPN or ABC an extra Saturday or Thursday night game later in the season, but this was no longer possible because the new television contract gave the rights to those games to NFL Network. Thus, with the league already stretching its limits by placing a Monday night doubleheader on opening weekend, this meant that every available Monday night would have to air at least one game, even if it were Christmas Eve. To ease the issue, the game was scheduled between two West Coast teams, the Denver Broncos at the San Diego Chargers, so that the game could start at 5:00 PM local time. The same scenario was set to occur in 2012, but the NFL's newly renegotiated television rights returned the rights to occasional Saturday night games to ESPN, which allowed them to move the scheduled "Monday night" game for that week to the Saturday before.

Back when I was a kid the family would get together for Christmas Eve party, now it was probably a weekend Christmas Eve that I remember, I didn't mean to imply that it happened every year.

More than likely, it was in the '70's

Vick would be an upgrade over Sanchez but,that's not saying much.

They are saying that Alex Smith most likely will be available to other teams.

That really doesnt surprise most, seeing how enamored they are with Kapernik

My advise to Tebow,"Don't let her get into your dome,dude."

 

[yaz96]

I wonder if Matt Flynn will also be on the market? Surely he doesn't want to be a backup to Wilson.

Im actually a little surprised people want a Christmas Eve or Day game. I would like to have it as well but I thought some people wouldnt want it.

Here is the thread I started a little over a year ago about Thanksgiving and Christmas games to see what Im talking about. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads...ce-having-games-on-Thanksgiving-and-Christmas
