Whoa, you have WAY too much time on your hands to be this upset about what time a football game starts.

I plan to turn on the game at 3:00, pop a brewsty, if the insane banter is going on, I turn down the sound until the game actually starts.

And that injury to Manning — I hope he has a career after this...

It'll be hard for him to throw left-handed. Did they ever find his right arm? Will we still see him in every commercial, or will they actually film one without him?

You are not alone.

Last week I went nuts looking for the actual kickoff times. I refuse to watch those pregame shows with their inane blather. It is almost as if the pregame show is more important than the game. And, of course, there are endless commercials.

I don’t know if you saw that study posted on FR last week that determined the amount of time during a football game that the players are actually handling the ball was 11 minutes. 11 minutes!

11 minutes, of a 60 minutes football game that is spread out over 3+ hours. So you know what the rest of the time is spent doing.

Vikings @ Saints
Sunday, January 24, 2010
5:40 PM CT
Louisiana Superdome; New Orleans, La.
FOX

The Colts were not so accomodating - though I suspect the 10-15 minute lag from start to kickoff holds true their also.

Lighten up Francis. You turn the TV on at 3 pm Eastern and then do chores until you hear what sounds like a kick off. Nobody is forcing you to watch the TV just because it’s on.

Surely McGeek could hack into the NFL magic game scheduler program and give you the actual time?

ESPN NFL Scoreboard website has the Jets/Colts game starting @ 3PM eastern; the Vikings/Saints @ 6:40PM eastern.
The start times for both games has been up all week.

>>It’ll be hard for him to throw left-handed. Did they ever find his right arm?<<

Not sure, but you know how fans are about souvenirs. It should actually boost his commercials — the symapht factor and all.

I think it is clear that he will be able to play using the new “Brady/Manning Rule” where they finally put the QB in a dress with flags on the side...

They’ll probably have some celebrity over-sing the National Anthem before the game, so that should take about 20 minutes.

If you go to nfl.com home page and move your mouse over the scheduled games it changes to show the times of the games.

Jets / Ind at 3:00 PM - CBS
Min / NO at 6:40 PM - Fox

I don't care about the actual start time of the game so much as this unified wall of silence from the media on a crucial piece of information.

Go to Google News, or Yahoo News, or Bing, and spend a while searching, and see whether you can find a definitive answer to the question.

These MSM people know the answer, but they are unified in their conspiracy to withhold the answer from us.

And I find that to be not only infuriating in a pedestrian sort of way [how am I supposed to plan an afternoon if I don't know the kickoff to within a window of +/- 45 minutes?] but also really disturbing in a what-it-portends-for-society sort of way.

If they can become united to withhold from us a piece of information as trivial as a kickoff time, then it's no wonder that we have a communist like Barack Hussein Obama in the Oval Office.

Look at the bright side...NBC isn’t broadcasting either game, so you won’t wind up with 45 minutes of Olbermann’s pre-game bullsh*t on your DVR if scheduling is screwed up... :-)

” Don’t you think it’s a little bizarre that I can Google literally tens of thousands of news outlets but that NONE of them will tell me the kickoff time?

And you wonder why the American public never heard of William Ayers before Tuesday, November 4, 2008?

This Game Theoretic idea that there can’t be unified conspiracies is simply idiotic - the whole modern world [as presented to us by the MSM] seems like one great big unified conspiracy. “

Great comedy!
Of all important things one could worry about; and we have conspiracies to cover up NFL kick off times!!

They’re already over. Did you miss them? If so, you missed two of the greatest games ever played, in any sport.

No kidding. Too bad about Bret Favre, though. Who'd have thunk it?
