Move out here to Cali... games are over by 8:30 PM

I have something to complain about too.

The punter.

I mean, we never get to see him.

And are rarely on TV unless in primetime. Now, if I didn't work on Sunday's I could go to a sports bar...

I prefer early games, too as it usually means I am getting my money's worth from NFL Sunday Ticket. I don't like Thursday games as I travel extensively and there isn't a single hotel that offers in-room NFLN. I'll have to find a sports bar in some unfamiliar city this Thursday.

It's killing me. The local satellite provider in Thailand doesn't broadcast the 8.15 games or the Monday Night games so I end up missing them.

There are 2 rules regarding how many prime time games a team can have.

The 1st is during the initial schedule setup, a team can only have a maximum of 4 prime time games.

The 2nd is that a team an only have up to 6 prime time games in TOTAL after flexing.

Primetime = Sunday / Monday Night games, Thursday season opener.

I am not a huge fan of the night games either, although I will be at the Monday night game next week, so yay!

Three night games in a row seems ridiculous, though. It is also annoying how fans of other teams are complaining about how sick they are of us because we are constantly on their TV sets. Well, it's not like the Patriots begged to be flexed....I'm sure they hate all these night games too. It's just something else that everyone complains about re: the Pats.

This is a good example of how the typical "everyone says" is misleading. Networks put the top teams like the Pats on primetime often because more people will watch. You rarely see Oakland nationally, people certainly aren't sick of them, but if they were on many people wouldn't watch.

The people complaining are vocal but they are a minority. From what I can see, most of the complaints about the Pats (Spygate, running up the score, etc.) are also being voiced loudly by a minority. The majority of NFL fans likes watching the Pats and is sick of the complainers.

Pat, do you have NFL package, and is that, or something like it necessary to get any NFL over there? Thought of a dumb question: what kind of commercials do you get over there?

I get up early and hate the 8:30pm games as well. The 4 pm games are great.
You have the whole day to do what you want and can relax at 4pm .
