Game may be flexed

[FortressX]

Even though I like 4PM games better I kind of planned for this to be 1PM and was surprised when I read the game might be flexed.
All is well.

Trying to figure out if we get the game here in the Tamper FL arear

Week 17 the usual NFL television rules are suspended. Both networks get doubleheaders, televising early and late games. More importantly the blackout rule that does not allow for another game to be televised when the local team is at home is lifted, if I recall correctly.

So (if my memory is correct) that means that in Tampa the Panthers-Bucs will be on Fox, and Dolphins-Patriots on CBS, both in the early time slot.

Edit: yes, in week 17 there are no blackouts due to the local team playing at home.

Edit #2: Note that that's a map for 2015 folks, not this week's games.

Edit #3: Sorry to say, but Ian Eagle and Dan Fouts will be the announcers for NE at Miami. Please don't shoot the messenger.

My brother lives in Clearwater Beach just over the bridge.....He usually watches at a local tavern. The 506 sports maps will be up on Wednesday.

Heh...My S&W MP40 is always handy....

Okay, time for me to remove my tinfoil hat... I thought the thread title said "game may be fixed."

I thought the OP was suggesting Ed Hochuli would be the ref.....

 

[groundgame]

Fixed = Triplette, Morelli, Anderson or Hoculi as the referee.

Forgot about Corrente too

Question: When is the last day and time that they can change the TV time for the Miami game ?

I'll be on a cruise ship, so they usually show the Miami channels, so either way I should be able to watch it (in the casino), hungover, while playing 3 card poker.

I was on a Disney cruise (Nassau, Castaway Cay) during New Year's last season, and Jesters-Billiards
was shown instead of Pats-Doofins. During the first half of the other game, I was rooting for Beefalo
to win. Then a bunch of ugly, bloated, sunburned Squealers fanboys started arriving at the bar with
their ugly, bloated, sunburned women. So because of their foul, obnoxious presence, during the fourth quarter I started rooting for the Jesters, for all the good it did anyway.

Fixed = Triplette, Morelli, Anderson or Hoculi as the referee.

When it comes to fixes against the Pats, Blakeman is at the top the list as far as i'm concerned and he was actually one of the guys that "measured" the AFCC footballs at HT.

Up through week 16 the flex has to be made no later than 12 days prior to that weekend.

For week 17 there has to be at least six days notice.

So in this case we know that the time of the Patriots game at Miami is not going to be moved.
