2012 NFL Season Kicks Off on a Wednesday

[EmpireWF]

September 5th in East Rutherford (kick off @ 8:30), the Champion's opponent will be announced at a later date.

President Obama is speaking at the Democratic National Convention the next night.

Potential Opponents:
Dallas Cowboys
Philadelphia Eagles
Washington Redskins
New Orleans Saints
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Cleveland Browns
Pittsburgh Steelers
Green Bay Packers (Have to assume it's them)

[Hasselbeck]

Lots of potential opponents there..

Redskins - (Only if they were to sign Peyton Manning)
Saints - Brees v. Manning = high ratings
Packers - Rodgers v. Manning = high ratings
Steelers - Hate them to death but they are a very marketable team
Cowboys - Ditto Pittsburgh

My money is on Green Bay or Washington (only if they get Peyton)

[NAHSTE]

Sounds greedy, illogical and very Goodell-like.

[Rudi]

Shit is mad gay. and lol at the Browns being on the list of potentials

Sounds greedy, illogical and very Goodell-like.

Yet the ratings will be great.

Shit is mad gay.

I dont see anything illogical or gay about it. Do you prefer they play during the convention, or not play at all?

Sundays are when I prefer my professional football games to be played.

[Rudi]

Yeah before we know it there is going to be an NFL game on fucking 5 out of the 7 days of the week. We already got thursday saturday sunday and mondays. Sundays and Mondays only. Fuck all this other money hungry bullshit

[StealthShot]

Can't wait for football every day of the week.

[MvP]

It's gonna be Green Bay, and I can't wait.

[Sharkweather]

Listen to the NFL owner, insider information.

Durr, but if it makes money in the short term then obviously it's a great thing for the league in the long term!

[ZoneBlitz]

Fuck all you faggots wanting less football.

[jaxjaggywires]

Seriously...what the hell is wrong with this? They've started the season on Thursday night a few years now, this particular Thursday will not work so they're moving it up a day.

Why get all butt hurt about it? Go wash the blood off your panties and get ready for early football...

I listed all of the Giants home opponents...

It will almost certainly be GB because they've been doing SB champs vs. previous years SB champs the past few years.
