sat nite is not considered primetime in the tv world...sunday late afternoon/evening garners a much larger viewing audience as many more people are at home than on a saturday nite....in fact sunday nite is considered primetime....

however the afc has this weekends sunday late game otherwise eagles would def be in that slot as they were last week with ny vs philly constituting the biggest game of the weekend

so the answer to the question of why the eagles play sat nite is because fox doesnt have the late sunday time slot

Having a holiday party when there are no holidays to celebrate...

BRILLIANT!

Many companies are celebrating the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., this weekend.

With a party?

I've never heard of any company parties for his holiday.

They delay the party until after the new year so they can give out the bonuses.

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

that's bullshtein...they never, EVER consider the fans in any decision they make.  this game is the marquee NFC game this weekend, that's why it's Saturday night.

LEO is very enthusiastic.  I care if they play on Tuesday morning.  Thats the only time I'm not drinking.  I can't break my habits.

No way. Everyone know if you want to drive your point home on the interwebs YOU DO IT BY TYPING IN ALL CAPS.

doubtful. its done by market sizes. philly + minny > dirty dirty + st. louie

market size is far less important when its a national broadcast

new yorks 11 million people mean little when you are comparing it to 340 million people in the rest of the united states

the matchup that will get the most people to tune in country wide is what goes in the best spot and the best spot is when the most potential people are in a position to tune that game in...and more people are at home late sunday than at any other time during the weekend...which is why sunday late afternoon/evening is considered prime time and saturday evening is not
