Hows your World Series do against the NFL ?
The WS would get crushed .... fortunately the NFL has worked out a deal that they give the Sunday Night game a break when the WS conflicts.
MLB Wouldn't do well,
Not trying to imply otherwise.
NFL crushes everybody.
The Daytona 500 and NASCAR would be cannon fodder for them.
And yes even with the differing start times, Daytona 500 would be in serious trouble ratings wise if they tried to run it on a NFL Post season weekend.
This is going to happen(IMO) pretty easy to see from Goodell's Public Statements.
PA will use this to gain some leverage elsewhere.
Season startng Week after Labor Day runs for 20 Weeks with a double bye.
Ending on the Sunday of President's Day Weekend.
If this was in effect for the 2010-2011 season it would be as follows
Season Starts Sept 12th
Season Ends Jan 23rd
Playoff Weekends; Jan 29-30
" " Feb 5-6
" ' Feb 12-13
Super Bowl Feb 20
President's Day Feb 21
If they do this Goodell is already on record that the extra week off between the Confernce Championships and Super Bowl will go away.
Another plus in my mind. Just changes the Build up from obscenely overhyped to just moderately overhyped.
