What is the TRUE starting time of the NFL games today?!? [INFURIATING!!!]

nfl.com, cbs.com, fox.com, google news, etc etc etc ^

[DTogo]

The first pitch is sometime around 3pm, after they get the Zambonis off the green and Beckham sings God Save the Queen.

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

Wow, a unified conspiracy !!!

Dude, whatever medication you are taken, double up.

[jra]

Good Lord...find something worthwhile to cry about.

[rod1]

They want you to watch an hour plus of commercials before the kickoff actually happens.

Its deliberate.

[thesharkboy]

Too bad about Bret Favre, though. Who'd have thunk it?

Have they figured out how he faked being a man for so long?

[big'ol_freeper]

Game one starts at 1500 hours EST and game two begins at 1830 hours EST. Nothing could be simpler...

[j-damn]

Yup, here’s a real problem in today’s world to get upset about.

[frog in a pot]

Have always used Echo4’s rule set out upthread. End of schedule less 3:05hrs (just in case).

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

Because it wasn’t paying attention?

“Our enemy is U.S. imperialism, the enemy of all humankind,”
- Bill Ayers, Educational Secretary, SDS, 1969. (Students for a Democratic Society - currently active at several major colleges, including the U of Chicago.)

Enjoy the games! {:^)

[the long march]

The listings in my local paper as well as all the ads for the upcoming games have had the times posted. Perhaps you are just a bit behind

[the long march]

And you a fan of NCIS could not get Ziva’s help or Abbey’s——come come Gibbs will be slapping you any second now

[the long march]

Perhaps VERY special agent needs help.....

Note that the NFL builds in about 30 minutes of extra time between playoff games due to the possibility of extended sudden-death overtime in the event of a tie . . . so if Game #2 starts at 6:30 I'd venture to guess that Game #1 starts at 3:00.

Having said that, I'd point out that the general premise of the original post on this thread is correct. How hard is it for the NFL to announce the kickoff times for these games??

[hoosiermama]

Did the same thing last evening as our Sunday schedule is in the Sunday paper...that said:

GO COLTS!

[rob777]

"Do you guys honestly think the kickoff will be at 3:00PM? And not 3:45PM?"


Given that the coverage is scheduled to end at 6:30, I assume that the kickoff will not be much beyond 3:00. Perhaps 3:30 at the latest.

Kick off is traditionally about 5 minutes after “start”, nothing duplicitous about it. All sports start their game about 5 minutes after the TV listed start time, and it’s been that way for at least 30 years. Shouldn’t get worked up about it, they want to give everybody a chance to tune in and sit down.

[Razzz42]

It’s football season already!!?

[PGR88]

The NFL is too commercial, too much spectacle. I’m afraid the NFL is too much like a bubble, with ever-inflating prices and costs, which are leaving the common-man behind.

Game one starts at 1500 hours EST and game two begins at 1830 hours EST. Nothing could be simpler...

Wanna bet?

[FreedomCalls]

I suggest you switch to decaf.

[big'ol_freeper]

LOL...um no.
