Pre-Game at Bengal Maniac's - Steelers/Bengals

[Bengal Maniac]

As promised the lovely lady and I will be hosting a little pre-game get together at our house in Covington prior to the Bengals/Steelers game. We will have sandwiches, chips and chili to eat and drinks. I need a number to plan accordingly if you will be attending.

 

I will then PM you the address and phone number. We hope to have a nice crowd.

 

We should start around 9:30. We leave for the stadium and park in Covington. We leave usually around noon or a few minutes after. We are always at the stadium sitting in our seats at least 20 minutes prior.

 

I look forward to hearing from you. Come on by whether you are going or not if you want. We do this anyway, so whether one of you or twenty come it doesn't matter.

[spindoc]

Me, my oldest, Ru and his lovely lady will be there. So, jot us down as 4.

[lawildcat]

Mr. Cat and I will be there!

From the NFL:

 

Flexible Scheduling

Allows teams to play their way onto the Sunday night schedule

In 2006 the NFL implemented a primetime "flexible scheduling" element on Sundays in Weeks 10-15 and in Week 17. In 2014 that was extended so that games between Weeks 5 and 17 could be affected by flex scheduling. However, only two games may be flexed into Sunday Night between Week 5 and 10.

Flexible scheduling ensured quality matchups on Sunday night in those weeks and gave surprise teams a chance to play their way onto primetime. The NBC Sunday night time slot for "flex" weeks lists the game tentatively scheduled for Sunday night.

Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the tentatively scheduled Sunday night game will be moved to an afternoon start time. Flexible scheduling will not be applied to games airing on Thursday, Saturday or Monday nights.

Just as the six major college football conferences have done for many years, the NFL has the flexibility to move the start times of games on Sundays, using a 12-day notice format.

For example, a game scheduled for a Sunday could move from a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff to an 8:15 p.m. start, but the change would be made and announced no later than the prior Tuesday, 12 days prior. Sunday afternoon games, as in the past, can still be moved between 1:00 and 4:05 or 4:25 p.m. ET.

In Week 17, in order to ensure a Sunday night game with playoff implications, the decision to move the start time may be made on six days notice.

Reading that I am not sure if you have to have 12 days notice for a game moved from 1pm to 4 whatever.

 

Anyone? CC?

I agree with you, it is ambiguous. I think the game remains at 1:00 since we haven't heard anything yet.

I wish I still lived in the area or I'd go for sure.

I would go merely to bask in the penumbra of Habib's intellect, in hopes of a bit of osmosis. Alas that he cannot attend.

Indeed, and you already know Ru and I are dumb as two bowling pins, so I understand your avoiding it.

I try to sound smart on BGP but when guys like Habib and Getslow enter a thread I get a little nervous.

 

Funny you made that comment pops, I really didn't want to meet Habib when I'm day drinking, I wouldn't have a chance...

[Habib]

I'd be boozing and talking silly as much as anyone. :lol2:
