far too logical to move it-
-that would shorten the longest two weeks in sports by a day
-help out immensely with travel plans (commuters still fly Monday am)
-shift the entire game to primetime in the east, and more of it in pt in the other time zones = more commercial $
-improve productivity in almost every business in America Monday morning

The first SB's kicked off at 1:00 eastern. Now it is an all day commerce-based holiday as financially impactful as x-mas, Valentine's, or Mother's Day.

If I were Godhell I would castrate myself and send my goodies to Sean Payton.

Let's see, the offense is on it's own 1 yard line. The QB drops into his own end zone and lets a perfect spiral arc to an open WR at the 50 yard line. The DB is beat and he knows it. He tackles the WR who falls and misses what would have been a sure TD.

The flag flies and they march the penalty off and palce the ball 1st and 10 from your own 16.

Yeah, no screaming will occur here. It lets the defense profit from a penalty. I believe PI in the end zone should be a TD. The defense shouldn't profit from a penalty. PI in the field of play = spot of foul, in the end zone should be a TD!

The Colts also are a "Dome" team or are they? If the roof opens, is it a dome?

The entire concept of a challenge is idiotic.
How about they get it right the first time?
but since they don't, I can challenge it, because literally the game, my season, the playoffs, or my career is in the balance
but, it has to be conclusive, and I can't do it more than twice

Put 3 guys in a room with 15 tv's, review anything that's close, and get rid of challenges completely

So if the commissioners job is to do what's best for the game, why doesn't he step down?
