Am getting sick and tired of................

these stinking 8:00pm starts. I know that the NFL wants to be able to allow everyone on the planet to see the March to HISTORY, but

for cripes sake, let's get back to playing/watching football

when we're supposed to be playing/watching football. Last Sunday was great!

1 o'clock and 4'oclock.

Plus it's colder in NE round this time of year when the sun goes down, ya network guru pukes!!!!
Get a clue, will ya??

Ya it sucks but they want the primetime slot for the Pats

It really sucks trying to get out of the parking lots after a game around midnight, add 2 hours to the crawl out of the lot and another hour or more and I'll be home by 3 am I hope.

Thumbs up

Fitzy should get a ring, too.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

The Pats,Tiger Woods and yes Jeff Gordon.Everybody hates a winner.

When they start winning to much there's always excuses by those being beaten.The winners can't possibly be winning because they're good.

It won't be long before fans of other teams start breaking out "The Pats suck" mantra because they'll have nothing else left to say.I've been amazed by that.How does someone or some team suck when they're kicking ass on a regular basis?

Ratings, they gotta build (keep) the hype or loose viewers. Talk their way into a matchup. For one half tonight, it was a match

Lenny Clahk, love that guy! Remind me, Slip.
