SNF: Pats-Dolphins, Dec. 6, buh-bye!

There is no way NBC will show that game when the Eagles are playing at the Falcons that day.
No way.

Never say never.

well it depends, if Vick is suspended, if he isnt contributing, if he isnt going to be on the field, if there arent playoff implications involved, they wont air the game...

Hard to say at this point, but it definitely could be a big game. So could ours.

I'm just enjoying the Vick signing for now, and the fact that it bumped pretty boy Brady's triumphant preseason return from being the lead story. Though the ball-lickers are still getting in their licks...

Do NBC always get their own way?

BUH-BYE​

 

[DanStillStands]

that would be fine with me.. Move it to a 1pm game. I like the day games.

 

[DiepatriotsDie]

Whatever happens happens I guess, but I see no reason why a 3rd string Michael Vick going back to Atlanta is newsworthy.

 

[Tetragrammaton]

FOX gets to select a number of games to protect from being flexed, which they will likely do here.

 

[Nublar7]

It is a December Division game against two teams that will probably be duking it out for the division title. It is also an AFL legacy game. Unless the Eagles and Falcons are the two best teams in the NFC and Vick is starting, I find it hard to believe they will change the game.

 

[dolfan94]

I dont think they will change this, as it is too early in the flexing season. And Mike isnt even the starter. Now if Donovan gets traded.........

 

[fatkirstyalley]

dont underestimate the Tom Brady factor. People seem to love him.

End of thread.

NBC will have to pry this game from FOX's cold, dead hands!

No only Patsies fans and the sports media leviathan that is the 4-letter love him. I am SO thankful Vick signed last night to KO the scheduled Brady love-in. This AM, one of their Patriot-homer-talking-bobble-heads actually lamented the fact that that the Return of the King was pre-empted.
