Maybe they even could have played on Friday or Saturday night, but that may have cut into the NFL's precious ratings....
The decision to have it as a home game was made long before the Ravens won the SB. It just so happens they get it in week 1 now.Isn't that a small price to pay to have a home game versus the World Champs instead of an away game?

Crass maneuver by the NFL. If that abomination was hanging on Gillette I'd find a way to sabotage it. A few paint-filled balloons might do the trick.
First of all, I don't blame the Orioles one bit for not rescheduling. Why should they bend over backwards and lose money? Is the NFL going to cover all those missed sales?The Orioles look petty for not being more flexible. Despite the experiences we've had locally with all four sports over the past dozen years, championships just don't come around all that often. The community should be allowed to celebrate.
Or Wednesday night. That's what they did last year, albeit for a different reason.Or, the Ravens could have played at noon or 1:00 pm...
Yes, the uppity bastards who postpone MNF to not compete with the World Series.Parking and transportation. The stadiums are very close to one another. I hate both teams, but screw the Ravens. I don't blame the Orioles. It was a perfect example of the almighty NFL believing that every other entity in the world should be unquestionably subservient to them. Elitist bastards...
Thanks for the picture.The city of Denver's mood swings revolve around the Bronco's ... it's all they have ... this is funny.
Nicer than me. "Potato" gun shooting a tennis ball soaked in lighter fluid. A fireball that will transfer flaming charcoal lighter fluid should be enough to burn through what ever fire proofing they have. Not that anyone on this site actually proposes illegal activity.Crass maneuver by the NFL. If that abomination was hanging on Gillette I'd find a way to sabotage it.

Nobody would like that and the ratings on tv would be way donw if the game was at noon or 1:00 on a Thursday.Or, the Ravens could have played at noon or 1:00 pm...

Yup,the NFL could say, "Hey, I know you are jacked, but wrap this party up by 4 so you don't interrupt the vital baseball game. OK."

Why not? It's only baseball. It's not like they'll be exerting themselves to the point of breaking a sweat or getting out of breath.First of all, I don't blame the Orioles one bit for not rescheduling.

Second of all, it's not the team's fault as much as it is the players. Both the Orioles and their opponents on that day, Chicago, are flying in from out of town. You can't schedule a 1:00 game on a day where each team was out of town the previous night.
I believe that is one of the scheduling rules contained in the CBA. The players themselves would have had to have signed off on any change, and I don't blame them for refusing to.Why not?
