Leader O'Cola: lindalouwho: THE GAME TIME HAS BEEN CHANGED TO 3:40 ET.
I'm watching local news and they said that just happened a couple of minutes ago.

THE STEELERS SUNDAY GAME IS CHANGED TO MONDAY, THEY HAVEN'T DECIDED ON A TIME YET.

Cripes, it's a good thing the Steelers are having a good season, because it sure is a lot of work to find the final answers on when they're playing lol.

I love how you're laughing about it while the team is getting completely screwed.

Play this Wed afternoon, then again Monday , against a team on 11 days rest  while the Ravens get to play Tuesday.

the team who created the mess is being coddled and rewarded while everyone else is punished.


She's laughing because she is good-natured and keeps things in perspective. She's just as big a Steelers fan as you are-- see how not everyone whines over things and yells that are out of their control and also happen to fall under the category of "entertainment"?

The Broncos were screwed because they violated protocols, not because they had positive tests. The Ravens keep getting positive tests.


Ravens also violated protocols (one coach hid symptoms and didn't follow mask and contact tracing policies).

Someone was trying to convince me that the league has done a great job because there haven't been any cancelled games.

But when the league position is that nothing will make them cancel a game, it's a bit hard to take that seriously

Greed and stubbornness are going to be the NFL's undoing.

"I think the NFL is 10 years away from an implosion. I'm just telling you: Pigs get fed, hogs get slaughtered. And they're getting slaughtered. Just watch. Pigs get fed, hogs get slaughtered. When you take it too far, people turn the other way. I'm just telling you, when you've got a good thing and you get greedy, it always, always, always, always turns on you. That's rule No. 1 of business." -- Mark Cuban (March 2014)

Four more players tested positive today.  It's f*cking ludicrous at this point.

And I forgot to mention, f*ck this "the strength and fitness coach has been disciplined."  Nah, for this level of absurd clusterf*ck, he should be fired and outed.

Ravens violated protocols too. A coach going maskless and not wearing his trackers is what kicked off this whole mess. It all comes down to ratings. Steelers-Ravens is a game with playoff implications and featuring a major rivalry. Broncos are not in playoff contention and have no rivalry with the Saints.

lindalouwho: AdmirableSnackbar: gregz18: Steve Young was on whatever the ESPN MNF pregame show is - and he finally asked some questions about playing an extra week, and about the competitive integrity of having these games being moved all around.

You can tell that ESPN/CBS/NBC/FOX are telling their talking heads NOT to talk about how bad this is from a fairness point of view.

There was already a talking head on ESPN right as the delay was announced, before they could create talking points, who talked about this being the clown show decision that it is, with the entire panel hard agreeing.

The NFL has just lost what little credibility and respect they still had at this point. There isn't a football fan in the nation that's not shaking their head, making fun of them, and some are really pissed off.
The betting and fantasy worlds must be going insane.


This season was just a joke from the start, anyone who put high stakes on it was silly. The only reason I'm paying a little attention is because the Steelers looked to have close to an all-time defense and could be a problem. And now I'm mad that the NFL farked this up because the Steelers have a ridiculous (not all-time, maybe next year) defense and are a big problem.

I have no idea, maybe I'll find out from the 11pm news. My only guess is, since network tv's show's season premiers (or new season shows that have recently started), NBC doesn't want to preempt their evening lineup. I think Wednesday is all those Chicago shows.

Should have just played the game on time to fark the Ravens; but I agree on the fine (but bigger) and the draft choices.  Want them to play the game because the What the F..ks play the Steelers on Sunday and need the Steelers to be slowed down and sore (probably won't make a difference).

The Broncos accepted their punishment and directed their anger at the QBs for putting them in the situation.  I thoroughly admire them for it.   They deserve kudos for taking it like men.

I'm not surprised the Ravens are being petulant toddlers about the whole thing.

This was a fark-up by the Ravens organization not following Covid protocols, endangering everyone's health. The coach responsible should be fired and banned from working in the NFL.


They came down on the Saints like a ton of bricks for a far less egregious violation.

If it were me, I'd go further and demand a fine that's at least eight digits, bar them from next year's draft and bar them from playing until they get their sh*t together; any remaining games would be declared forfeit.
