Whether or not the games interfere with church is irrelevant to me; I'd just like to see all the games start at 3:15 or later so that people could stay out late the night before, sleep in, then take their time getting to the game or the bar to watch it. It was especially annoying when I lived on the West Coast and had to get to the bar at 9:30 to get a seat, but even now that I'm in the Central time zone, it would be nice not to have to rush on a Sunday, for Chrissakes (pun intended.)

Why don't the Saints petition for more games in the 3pm time slot? It's not a secret that New Orleans is a pretty religious city (I mean, heck, we're called the SAINTS) so why not make the games a bit more user-friendly for the church crowd? Granted, there are ways around this with the current system in place, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels conflicted when it comes time to decide Saints vs. Saint Peter Claver...

The December 2 game will still be broadcast by FOX, but now will air as the second half of their Sunday NFL double-header coverage.[/FONT]

Get the rest of your family to join the fun by getting season tickets as well. My parents, brother, and sister, all live an hour away. We get together to go to the game on Sundays. We all still usually make it to mass one way or another as well.

Starting times are dictated by television. And since attendance and tv viewership is not lacking in the NFL, I don't see them changing it.

I think the start of the work week should be postponed from Monday to Tuesday during football season.
