That ain't right.

The three games postponed earlier in the year were ALL earlier in the week. A Saturday scheduled game was delayed until Monday and two Sunday games were put off until Tuesday. None were previously scheduled for a primetime slot. The Saints/Dolphins game was a whole different scenario. ESPN owned the rights to the game. If they wanted it played that night it was getting played that night regardless of what teams were involved.
