Has anyone else noticed the date and the team? And the historical context of the game? bbgun's Zapruder joke made me think of it. Probably just a coincidence that we play that team on that day, but I sure wish we were playing on Monday night against any other team. The announcers will have to mention it 10-15 times during the telecast.
 
Seriously? If the announcers mention it even once I'll be surprised.

What kind of reference are you expecting?

I just find it highly ironic the schedulers picked that date and time. Even 20 years later when I was in the service, when I said I was a Cowboys fans, people would talk about that day. I guess since I grew up with it being brought up any time I mentioned the Cowboys, I just hate it that we play them that day.

Clearly, it was Dan Snyder from the artificial grassy knoll.

there's no irony in it, maybe coincidence but no irony

The Kennedy murder by Oswald et al is ancient history, most people will not even remember it was on that day.

I could see if there were a bunch of deflections on a play the play by play guy saying, damn it changed direction more than the magic bullet

Of course, I thought it would be obvious to everyone, but in case you didn't know, it's my birthday.

PM me for my address so you can send a present
 
They are playing the game in Arlington Texas and JFK is buried in Arlington Virginia. Coincidence?
