NFL Considering Early Start for Opener

NEW YORK (AP) - The NFL is considering starting its Thursday night season opener an hour-and-a-half earlier to avoid clashing with the Republican National Convention.

The game, in which the Super Bowl-champion New York Giants will be the home team, now is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. EDT on Sept. 4 and will be televised by NBC. League spokesman Greg Aiello said Wednesday that the NFL is talking with the network about changing the game's starting time to 7 p.m.

Sept. 4 also is the concluding night of the Republican convention.

The highlight games of the NFL's first weekend, including the Giants' opponent for the opener, will be announced Monday during league meetings in Palm Beach, Fla. The rest of the schedule will be announced later next month.

1. comparing the relative number of fouls and penalties should be interesting

but I suspect that the GOP will win that battle.

2. I first watched the pug convention when DD Eisenhower was

nominated. The last one I watched was the Nixon stage preformance. Never again thank you.

3. I hope they have a warning before McCain's speech

To let viewers know they should not attempt to drive or operate heavy machinery while viewing or listening. It will be the least stimulating experience of some people's lives.
