Who cares? McCain is going to lose anyway. I’d rather watch something interesting, like the paint on my wall dry.

your headkine should have read McCain schedules acceptance speech to conflict with NFL opener.

get it right troops. nfl trumps politicians anytime, anyday.

Does the NFL REALLY need to schedule a game on Thursday night of the Republican Convention??? I mean, really, use some common sense people!! This damn Country of ours is so obsessed with focusing on money rather than traditional values; it’s DISGRACEFUL!! ENOUGH ALREADY!!

Ummmm…haven’t you been calling him the “presumptive” nominee all along? Are you paying attention to the FEC scandel? Don’t be so sure of yourselves in predicting the future!

Let Mccain have his day for the Republican Convention. Reschedule the NFL event.

Who cares, I’m a conservative that isn’t going to vote for McCain anyway. If I’m going to vote for a Liberal, I’ll vote fpr Obama. Fox, you have really lost it. Your news show is a laughing stock . It’s more like Fox Comedy program. What happen to the old real Fox.

Your kidding, right?

This isn’t right. It would never happen if it was the Democratic Nomination Acceptance.

Sounds good to me. To bad it isn’t on during his speech…..

are they going to ask us to vote for obama or clinton during the halftime show? I know nbc is the tank for the democratic candidate but please, not the nfl too.

I know what I’ll be watching.

NBC’s BIASED is BLATANT!!

The only thing I watch on NBC (Nothing But Chatter) is the weather report, and it is usually WRONG!

I love football and do hope the time will be changed from 8:30 to 7pm. If the time isn’t changed, then football misses out! I must watch Senator McCain on the most important and well deserved night of his life. Lord, the man has earned it! From POW to POTUS! Only in America! Now that’s loving your country.

Great!!! Since McCain is a huge disappointment to conservatives everywhere there will be something to watch!

Oh well! It will be played repeatedly on the Republican stations the remainder of the night and the next day and for upcoming months.

So if it gets re-scheduled the season opener will start at 4:00 on the west coast? I’ll still be at work. The NFL needs to keep in mind life exists outside of EDT… Maybe the RNC should re-schedule.

If you conflict with the acceptance you are going to turn off many nfl fans. I will think again of ever watching a game on NBC again. Sounds like someone is trying to sabatage the Convention. We don’t need NBC anyway if they won’t change the schedule then I will change mine.

The NFL should stay far away from even showing a hint of political favoritism by competing with an event such as a major political convention - either Republican or Democratic, or both. While I am a fan of the NFL, it would cause me to reconsider my support.

The NFL should hold the season opener when it’s schedule permits, without regard to politics. The RNC should be smart enough to figure out how to use that schedule to its benefit- that what this great country is about!

The National Football League should reconsider their timing for the opening season. They have placed fans in the middle of being a good citizen or a football fan. This seems very careless on the part of NBC but then they are part of the “main stream media” which tends to try and sway opinions about presidential candidates. When they can’t be successful at swaying opinion they just don’t cover the news!!!!!

I love football and look forward to the first fall game. However, I think Senator McCains, exceptance speech should diffinately supercede the game. I need to hear what my next President plans to do.. So move the opening game to another night. Thanks

I am disappointed in the NFL’s schedule. I am a fan of the NFL season, however, how long has the NFL and the networks known of the Republican Party convention dates and the importance that the people in this country not be distracted by popular events such as this. I think there should be a ruling not to allow interferance with this kind of an event.
You better believe, NBS (and other networks) wouldn’t do the same with the Democratic convention airing. Is this just another way to not give McCain press? It seems over the course of this election air time has been quite lopsided. It feels like this is a calculated scheme.

I’ll be watching convention not football if there’s a conflict — FIRST THINGS FIRST!

Don’t change the game time…we need something as an alternative to these pompous windbags who are systematically stealing our money and and constantly lying to us.

McCain is largely responsible for $Billions in additional losses by the Savings and Loan industry (Keating Five), erosion of our 1st Amendment rights (McCain-Feingold), decimation of our Federal Courts (gang of 14) and undermining of the President on National Security issues (public statements about Waterboarding and Guantanomo Bay). In addition, he’s ignorant of the fact that tax cuts have always generated higher revenues and he’s guilty of class warfare with his references to “tax cuts for the rich”.

Let the game go at its normal time. Otherwise, if I have to watch McCain, Ill need a puke bucket beside my TV

Is this really a shocker to anyone? If this was the same night as the Democratic Nomination acceptance there would be protests and media coverage 24/7!! All this clearly points to the continued lack of respect and apathy that is strewn towards the Republican Party.

Notice how the insurgency has started to rise again in the “green zone” since talk of a reduction in troops in Iraq. I guess if we get a Democrat in the White House we can then “cut and run”. Once the terrorists think we can be intimidated I am sure this will only embolden them to further acts of violence against the West!!

I think this is a Democrat conspiracy……..

Why would an acceptance speech by possibly the next President of the United States be improtant!! Why not consider renaming the two houses of congress to AFL and NFL so that our children take a interest in our Government. Change the game to another night - maybe the to a night important to Hollywood where nobody would care. NBC you will always be on the bottom - your lobottomy is complete.

I’m just sorry that we have to watch the Giants that night…lets go Bears!

Well - let’s see - a football game or the fate of the nation. A tough one - huh?

Go Skins

Well, that figures! Afterall, football is much more important than choosing the leader of the free world, right?

DOES IT REALLY MATTER?

I much prefer the earlier start time. I start my work day at 7AM and can’t stay up to watch night games past half-time. It’s too late. I would watch the whole game if it started at 7PM.

I’d rather watch football! Leave the original time alone, if anything needs changing, let the politician’s change their schedule.

Isn’t that something! I wonder if the NFL would show their game if Obama or Clinton had their acceptance speech schedule for the same night. I bet they wouldn’t. Come on, change your game night.

Now, do you think the opener would be a different night if it was the Dem’s convention?

Hey everyone is saying how Politics is a contact sport. What better way to start both seasons. Go Carolina…

Again the a major network will do whatever it takes to lessen the importance of the Republican Presidential Candidate. The NFL should step aside and move the game to Friday.

If the choice is football or politics, I’ll even go for football.

NFL league meetings are in West Palm Beach, Fl, not Palm Beach, Fl. They are two different places.

NBC brings a new form of biased editorializing of the news to the table; editorializing by conflict scheduling. Leave it to left-wing NBC to try a subterfuge and of course deny any awareness of the connection and its political impact. To deny can only mean they are grossly unaware of current events (read that as stupid), or they are lying.

I think the word predictable just about sums it all up!

NFL season opener . . . Republican convention speech . . . I wonder which one will dominate the ratings? I’m confident it will be the Redskins/Giants game. Now, if this was the Democratic convention, the NFL might lose in the ratings race, but against the GOP, the NFL will fare much better.

Let me guess, this is the direct result of the liberals? Or maybe, just maybe, it’s the media’s way of defending Barack Obama?!

FANTASTIC! Now, there will be something INTERESTING to watch!!!
Thank you, NFL!

I’m ready for some football!!!

Something smells and it ain’t the NFL.

GO McCAIN !!!!! ALSO, keep in mind that when Obama was sworn into his current office - he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Kuran (Their equivalent to our Bible, but very different beliefs)

With NBC political bent that can be expected. My guess is that was done with a purpose

HA HA!!!!!

AND!?!?

This might actually help the Republicans because people will make glances at the convention without burnout. I don’t perceive the season opener being that much of an attention getter that no one will watch the convention.

Why would this time be a surprise? Anything that the public media can do to come against the Republicans seems to be justified. I think it stinks! Of course from my point of view it’s not a toss up I don’t watch football.

Alright! Now I’ve got something entertaining to watch instead of getting ticked off watching McCain wrip off his base while running as a democrat…

nfl is so stupit no moor mondaynight games no moor saterday games i will warch the big gye not football

It’s so typical. Republicans can’t catch a break on TV. I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts that the Dems’ acceptance night has no conflicts whatsoever and all the networks that aren’t covering the Dem convention show reruns during the time slot.

It’s amazing how seemingly sensible, capitalist entites, such as the NFL want to bite the hand that feeds them. I hope they like their TV revenue money being confiscated, which is what will happen if Osama Obama or Billary is elected.

I can’t believe the NFL has made this decision. Even if they move the game to 7:00, everyone knows it won’t wrap up until close to 11:00. This would never have happened if it was to be the final evening of the Democrats convention. It’s well known that the mainstream media will do anything to support the Democrat party, but am surprised that the NFL would be such a obvious pawn in their game. Wonder what back room deals were offered to pull this off?
