Rumors of Seattle game being flexed
-
I sure as hell hope not. Having a West coast team come to the East coast for a 1 p.m. game is a clear advantage (the same being true the other way around). It'd be pretty unfortunate to lose that angle. 49ers v Rams is likely not to get flexed, Chiefs v Texans is a strong candidate.
Further, this East coast dude loves his 1 p.m. games. It's awesome the Browns have some prime-time love, but we have enough. I think it's damn near criminal to be able to flex games in the first place, but that's just me. People spend thousands of dollars planning around an event.

It would be fresh to say to the Steelers: your game is being flexed out in favor of game featuring the Cleveland Browns.
Nevertheless....I thought that they did not start "flexing" those Sunday night games until like after week 8.

& I'm sure there's a limit on prime time games (Sunday and Monday night) a team is allowed, not sure of the number though. The Browns have to be close.
EDIT: ok I looked. Flex scheduling starts week 5. And you have to give teams 12 days advance notice. Today is day 12 for the Seahawks game. So if it doesn't happen today, it's not going to happen.

I knew it started week 5 and there was limit of 6. Was unaware of the 12 day limit so thanks for the info. It makes sense you have to give notice. Is the same true if they were to flex it to the national 4 o'clock game? I really want that advantage of west coast team coming to play at 1

According to Daryl Ruiter and Jim Donovan a flex of the Seattle game to Sunday night football has been discussed with the league Browns and Seahawks. The game scheduled for Sunday night is stoolers (awful team) vs the chargers (no fan base). While it's fun to be a team that has the ratings and the talent that is being considered of being flexed I don't want to give up the advantage of a west coast team traveling east to play a 1 pm game.

Under normal circumstances sure, but we're returning from the Cali to a shortened week... so we might gain more benefit than SEA loses...

Please no.
What time...your time... do the 1:00 pm games start for you? I am thinking that for you, every one of those games are about prime time for you.

7pm-10:30 pm
Afternoon games 10:30pm-1:00 am
Sunday Night hell, MNF, TNF... 2:30-6:00 AM.
EDIT: In fact, I believe that the Superbowl is played at an odd time (6pm ET) because it's not a total shit for European viewers (ends around 4am) and in Asia you have it during a Sunday morning.

That ain't Europe. Haven't heard ya?
Then push that island out further into the ocean.
Besides, you shouldn't be so hard on the British. Didn't they save your bacon against Napolean?

OMG. But hey we're the TOUGHEST FANS IN PRO SPORTS maybe moreso in your case!

Well, unless I severly misunderstand the policies the deadline has passed (12 days prior to game), so this will be a 1 p.m. game as scheduled.

Save us? SAVE US? After harassing Spain for decades they gave military help only to avoid Napoleon going after their island, and they were so gentle that they set fire to the city of San Sebastian and raped all the women, for example.
Napoleon lost the war because he went to Russia with Spain still being rebelious. Britain had in favor that Villeneuve was given the command of the French-Spanish Navy in Trafalgar which resulted in the huge loss of both navies thus the British gaining supremacy on the sea.
The UK suffered during WWII 460,000 casualties. In Spain, during Spanish Independence War against Napoleon, 30,000, which is respectable...
But...
Spain had 300,000 soldiers on the casualties list during that war. Over a million civilians died. If we were to thank someone for saving us, it would be Portugal, who had 150,000 casualties. That is a true ally.

I did my job...I tweaked your senses...with a good historical debate.
As for San Sebastion...I suspect things can get our of hand in warfare like that...(and fyi....Portugal was a major player in that battle, which was an "allied" victory....do you absolve them of the rape? What about the other major battles: Salamanca, Vitoria, Badajoz, Talavera
Besides....the Battle of Trafalgar took place 2 years before the Peninsular War began....1805. France did not invade Spain on the way to Portugal until 1807.
And I would expect Spain and Portugal to have taken the bulk of the casualties in that war. It was, after all, fought on their soil.
And, I suppose that if Spain and Portugal did not want British involvement...they could have disinvited them from participating. Then all y'all could have continued under the thumb of Napolean...if that is what you wanted. (but sure.....Napolean lost the war by stupidly going after Russia...especially in winter). Good old Adolph did not learn from that lesson, did he?

I have to admit that woman on the metro in Barcelona had me thinking it was worth at least an attempt had there not been so many witnesses including my wife. Damn Spain has beautiful women!?
