NFL announces week one schedule - who - 04-01-2008

http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-spw-nfl1apr01,1,2870829.story

The NFL announced its prime-time schedule for opening weekend today, and the slate of games features three division rivalries and a rematch of Super Bowl XLI.

The New York Giants will face the Washington Redskins at the Meadowlands in NBC's Thursday night opener, marking the fifth consecutive season the game has been hosted by the defending Super Bowl champion.

It's worth noting the league passed on a chance to stage a rematch of a hard-fought divisional game between the Giants and Dallas Cowboys.

In the first NBC Sunday night game of the season, the Indianapolis Colts will open their new retractable-roof stadium against the Chicago Bears, in a rematch of their Super Bowl showdown.

The Monday night doubleheader features rivalries from the NFC North and AFC West, with Green Bay hosting Minnesota in the first game, and Denver playing at Oakland in the second. Both will be televised on ESPN.

any idea why the pats aren't in prime time opening week?


could it be because they are cheaters?


NFL announces week one schedule - WoolyGoat - 04-01-2008

if the 9ers and Pats played during prime time in week 1, do you think Bird would blow up the stadium?


NFL announces week one schedule - Anhil8tor - 04-01-2008

Nah.. bird could give a fuck about the 9ers.


NFL announces week one schedule - BIRD33 - 04-01-2008

What the niners did was chickenshit compared to how the patriots hurt footballs credibility.


NFL announces week one schedule - BIRD33 - 04-01-2008

and why do the colts have a retractable roof?That Indiana weather is great for about a month and a half during football.Will they open it if it snows to create an advantage?


NFL announces week one schedule - WoolyGoat - 04-01-2008

peyton manning has an advantage in the snow?


NFL announces week one schedule - BIRD33 - 04-01-2008

Thats what I mean.Why after all the success in a dome go to a retractable style?On top of that the weather sucks in Indy so how is that not a waste of money?


NFL announces week one schedule - Anhil8tor - 04-01-2008

The 9ers were trying to trade for briggs. The bears were interested in the trade. The 9ers were trying to lock briggs up long term before sending over a first round pick. Its a moot point.

[SIZE="5"]Kraft, Belichick address owners, apologize for Spygate[/SIZE]

Wooley what are they apologizing for if everyone was doing it?I'm sure Belicheck spoke without anyone telling him he must.He kept up his classy persona by still saying he just misunderstood the rules.I misunderstand things several time before I finally figure out what was correct all the time.

"Others who listened believed Kraft was speaking from the heart. Once Kraft was done talking, the entire room broke into applause."

That was strictly about how sorry he was for bringing the league into a negative light and cost owners money.

"Kraft spoke of the values of the partnership with the league and how disappointed he was that his team brought negative attention to the league."

No mention of a standing O after Belicheks mea culpa.

I'm glad to see you've abandoned the everyone else was doing it arguement and settled on the fact your team is a bunch of cheaters.


NFL announces week one schedule - WoolyGoat - 04-02-2008

I still think everyone does/did it, perhaps to a lesser extent. The Pats got bagged, paid the price, apologized, and moved on. You're the one still hanging on it.


NFL announces week one schedule - BIRD33 - 04-02-2008

I'm the only one?They had an owners meeting dealing with it yesterday and more evidence of more cheating is due to come out when that Walsh guy is done cutting a deal.Yea I'm just the only guy still focused on it.


NFL announces week one schedule - WoolyGoat - 04-02-2008

I never said you're the only one. Besides, that meeting was about moving on.

I'd say it's more likely that Walsh has absolutely nothing and is just looking for his 15 minutes (or cash) than it is that he actually has something of substance.


NFL announces week one schedule - BIRD33 - 04-02-2008

Since you know absoluty nothing about Walsh or what he knows I'm shocked you've jumped to the patriots defense so early.


NFL announces week one schedule - WoolyGoat - 04-02-2008

yeah because no one on the local radio or in the papers has ever discussed him before.


NFL announces week one schedule - BIRD33 - 04-02-2008

Can you point me to the paper that clearly details what he knows?Lets not let lack of information get in the way of rampant homerism.
