Angry Actually have something to complain about in this great season

hope someone can help me on this. is there a rule as to how many late games a team can play? i get up at 3:30AM, and these games are killing me. i looked at the schedule and out of the 6 remaining games, half are late games. i know i shouldnt be complaining that the national media wants the pats games to be national, much less complain about anything. but it just stinks.
on another note, I hope we give these eagles the humiliation for a lifetime. they want their rings? we are gonna stuff em down their throats

Heh, I'm in Europe for the year. Late games here start at 1:15-30, and end around 4:30. Luckily I'll be home for December.

I agreee. I hate having to wait around all Sunday. I don't mind the 4:15 games, even though I like the 1 o'clock games. The Sunday Night/ Monday Night's suck. I like to watch the whole game, so I don't go to bed until about midnight. I used to like watching football in the afternoon.

I personally like the 4:15 games better because I can watch the whole game... I work nights and have to leave by 9 at the latest so I'm only able to watch the first quarter... Thank goodness for Tivo and at least I can listen to the game on the radio while I'm at work...

Do like I did, take tomorrow off.
I figured that by the time we get out of the lot and get home it'll be around 2:30 .

i thought there was a rule though, like four or five late games was the max. i cannot seem to find gametimes for the previous games, and i dont remember exactly how many late ones weve had, but with three remaining, we must be over the limit. anyone know the facts on this?

A team can have only 6 primetime games. I don't think there is a limit on how many 4-4:15 starts a team can have.

I believe the rule is, in general, a team may have no more than five primetime games, but up to three teams may be given six. There is no limit to late afternoon games, because West Coast teams aren't expected to have home games at 10 in the morning.
