2011-12 NFL Season

[SandraC]

Didn't the Seachickens (from Seattle) travel all the way to East Rutherford (New Jersey) to beat the NY Giants this past Sunday at the very early hour of 1pm (10am PST)??

Absoutely! Didn't see the game (or any games, until last night), we brought my niece to a soccer tournament in Virginia this weekend.

The basic premise is still valid. It's a lot more challenging for west coast teams to travel east and play at 10 AM than it is for east coast teams to travel west and play at any time.

Doesn't make it impossible, of course...just more challenging. Check the overall records of west coast teams traveling east for a 10AM start...

I guess you learn something new everyday. On Jahvid Best's 88 yard TD last night for the Lions:
"Best's 88-yard run was the second-longest in franchise history, trailing only Bob Hoernschemeyer's 96-yard run against the New York Yankees on Nov. 23, 1950. It was 3 yards longer than Barry Sanders' longest gain on the ground."
Hey, I didn't know the Yankees used to be a football team. That's Awesome!

Yeah, apparently it was most problematic during September, when they had to play both sports. Come October, after they won the World Series, they were able to concentrate on football full time.

Still, Joe Dimaggio was not the most feared linebacker in the NFL...

Tebow named starter for Week 6.

At the Broncos next game (10/23 @ Miami), the Dolphins will honor the 2009 University of Florida national championship team at halftime.

It was pre-planned by the Dolphins owners. To attract more fans for that game...trying to take advantage of the huge Gators alumni...and have Nat Moore, a former Dolphin and Gator part of upper management did not hurt either.

I read it pissed off the local "U" fanbase, though.

You have seen how much trouble they have had selling out their home games. One game, if I am not mistaken, they needed one of the beer distributors to buy the last 10,000 tickets for the home opener to be seen on local TV. As long as the team does not win, it will be a tough ticket to sell.

So that would be #49 (XLVIX) I heard some rumors that #50 (L) will be in Los Angeles because that's where the 1st one was played at, but that's not official yet.
