Cowboys-Eagles unlikey to be Flex game...

[LucaBrasi]

Howard Katz the NFL's Sr. VP of Broadcasting is on Chris Russo's show on Sirius and basically said that the Cowboys-Eagles game in week 17 is "highly unlikely" to be the flexed for Sunday Night.

Basically, Katz said that NBC has to flex a somewhat even amount of games belonging to FOX and CBS. For instance, there are 42 National Games per year between NBC, ESPN, and the NFL Network. Those games can not exceed a balance of 23-19 betwen what would normally be a FOX or CBS game.

So far this year the balance is 21-20 on these national games with Fox or NFC having 21 games on one of these other networks. It is more likely they will even things out with an AFC or CBS game in week 17. Katz did say its not impossible to flex the Dallas game but "highly unlikely." Jets-Miami is a prime target to be flexed.

Good with me. I live in Texas, so I'll get the game either way and I wanna see Dolpins @ Jets which is currently set during the same time as the Texans game.

I love night games! But I'm on the west coast so I know it is easier. I have lived on the east coast and it sucked big time for watching games.

west coast schedule:

- Get up around 8AM
- Make coffee
- Turn on pregame
- 10AM morning game
- 1PM afternoon game
- 4PM Postgame/Pregame
- 5PM SNF
- 9PM Postgame
- 11PM go to bed


What is NOT to love about this schedule??

So if it comes down to winner in, loser out, will they really be able to resist the change?

We must win and the Skins must beat the Fecals this week. If that happens, they won't bother moving this thing to 4 because the fecals will be eliminated.

The local Fox station will not want to lose the Dallas-Philly game as a "lead in" to the Skins game. There are a lot of Cow/Eagle fans in this area.

Looks like your kind of confused here...

They were talking about moving the game to Sunday Night (Michaels and Madden).

Just because its dark in Philly at 4, doesn't mean thats what it meant.
