would be nearly simultaneous, the posting said, with the cities specifically chosen in different time zones.

Impossible. The NFL has made recent changes to ensure that the early and late games almost never overlap.

I wasn't quite sure what that meant either. Simultaneous...but a 4:15 game on the East Coast and a 1:00 game on the West Coast would be "almost simultaneous" wouldn't it? But according to this week's schedule there are no 1:00 games in the West Coast.

Carolina at Cincinnati 1:00 p.m.
Detroit at N.Y. Jets 1:00 p.m.
Green Bay at Miami 1:00 p.m.
Jacksonville at Houston 1:00 p.m.
New England at Buffalo 1:00 p.m.
Philadelphia at Tampa Bay 1:00 p.m.
Pittsburgh at Atlanta 1:00 p.m.
San Diego at Kansas City 1:00 p.m.

Denver at Cleveland 4:05 p.m.
Arizona at Oakland 4:15 p.m.
Minnesota at Seattle 4:15 p.m.
Washington at Indianapolis 4:15 p.m.

This is what doesn't pass the smell test - Depending on the speed of the game, a game with a one o'clock kick could be over for a half hour before the four o'clock (actually 4:05 or 4:15) games even start.

Unless they want to blow up an empty stadium for some reason...
