Not bad, but only fans are branded with lifelong loyalty to the team. The owner and players are loyal to the almighty $dollar$, it is after all a business.
My name is Gallup, come on

Let's Go Cowboys

I had my brother and sister inlaw ready to make the trip to South Beach with us for the fins game, then they put it on Xmas eve. That sucks.

I can see us losing as few as 3 games. Looks like one of the easier schedules. Who makes schedules? An auto generator?

Could have done without JJ.

Are you asking about The teams you play or the order?

Just wondering if a team of people sit down and make the schedule. I doubt it.

I love clueless people on the street interviews, especially the ones on the late night talk shows asking folks geography questions. This one was similar to those.

Yeah they do, I watched a documentary on it about 5 years ago. It’s not entirely them, they do have an automation system, but they have thousands of calibrations they have to continually tweak to get it to be appropriate. It takes months to do it.

For instance, The Eagles can never play a home game at the same time the Phillies do, because they’re so close together the traffic in the area becomes unmanageable. You have to work that out for every single NBA team, every MLB team, prescheduled stadium events. West coast games always start at 4:15 EST earliest, primetime games set up for the better teams but limited number for each, Jets and Giants can’t have home games on the same day, Rams/Chargers same, appropriate considerations for before and after teams go overseas, sensitivity to non-nfl things like Jets getting a MNF game on 9/11, Cowboys not playing on Thanksgiving AND Christmas… one change to one game can have a cascade effect that takes days or weeks to iron out.

They basically have meetings constantly and the rest of the time they spend sitting in a room tweaking the system. They’ll go through hundreds of Schedule iterations until they find one everyone is happy with.

The Cowboys games are written on the ones having the bent corners.
