    - Not quite as bad football as Thursday but it's close. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 30, 07:00 14
      - Yup. Both need to go away asap. Sunday and Monday at the normal times is just fine. - Krusty Oct 30, 07:02 13
        
        FWIW, when these game start for you is only one hour before "the normal time" for the west coast. -- nm - Reagen Oct 30, 07:15 12
        
        I ain't worried about the scheduling/viewing as much as the quality. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 30, 07:40
        
        I get that it's ridiculously early for the west coast which speaks to my point that it was doing - Krusty Oct 30, 07:33 10
        
        naw, what I'm saying is that if you think 9 am is too early, well, 10 am is what the west coast gets every week. - Reagen Oct 30, 07:51 1

        I'm serious that there are like 8 teams that could be called as much as "good" this year - Reagen Oct 30, 08:30 1
        
        Good point. The product on the field is pretty crappy this season and is likely the biggest cause of the decline. -- nm - Krusty Oct 30, 08:31
        
        There are fans in other places, you know? (NM) - Marlowe Oct 30, 07:54 1
        
        Sure but the vast majority are in America and we're the ones that spend the most money on their product. When they start to focus elsewhere and hurt - Krusty Oct 30, 07:57
