Teams should not be required to travel after a Monday night game on the road.
They aren't whining. That is your interpretation. They are complaining about something legitimately wrong in the scheduling software. It needs to be fixed.
You guys sound like the whiners. If the Patriots got stiffed by a bad software algorithm you'd want them to jump start some energy to get it fixed, wouldn't you?
Don't go homer to the extent that you fail to see that there is a legitimate need to improve the scheduling, especially with these moronic international games coming more and more.
For all you know the Colts did the Patriots a favor too because this, or worse, could happen to the Patriots if nobody puts a stop to it. It's about fairness. All teams should at least get a fair shake out of the schedule if possible.
The thing that gets me is that if the Patriots front office had lodged this complaint you would have a totally different (read: biased) take on it. This is not correct, to always be so biased that you fail to see reality. There is an objective reality, and in this case the Colts are right, and you guys are whiners.
