Talk about a bully pulpit. The National Football League announced Tuesday that it will open the 2012 season on a Wednesday night instead of a Thursday to avoid conflicting with President Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention.

Hopefully by then people wake up and stop listening to him recycle the same broken campaign promises by then so it won't matter.

Re: Wednesday Night Football!
They should've moved his speech. Everyone knows that the opening game of NFL football is way more important.Comment

Re: Wednesday Night Football!
They could just say "look up his last speech" and it would be 99% the same thing.Originally posted by Forward_LateralComment

Re: Wednesday Night Football!
A better option would be to start the season on Sunday like they did for 3000 years.
This opening night thing for two teams is for the birds.Comment

Agreed. It's stupid. If it was the superbowl rematch every year, that would be another story.Originally posted by EricStrattonComment

Re: Wednesday Night Football!
I don't mind it. Since I am often at the opener or maybe even out for it, this allows me to see the first game of the year. And extra football is not a bad thing.Originally posted by EricStratton

Re: Wednesday Night Football!
This sucks. Thursday is a good party night b/c you only have to get through Friday till the weekend. It's harder to justify Wednesday drinking."Miami played pretty damn good today and still got their ass kicked."Comment
