to that point, i don't know why the nfl even cares.  schedule the thursday night opener and let the city deal with it.

[ice grillin you]

because the nfl is petrified of bad publicity of any kind these days

[General_Failure]

Bad publicity if for players only thanks for the CBA.

the nfl offered to offset whatever financial loses the orioles might have.

basically what it came down to is angelos and mlb sticking it to the nfl. only truly awful people like dio who hate happiness would be supporting the o's in this

....

Both the Ravens and Orioles released statements Friday saying that logistical issues will prevent the possibility of a baseball/football doubleheader on Sept. 5. The Orioles are scheduled to play the Chicago White Sox at 7:05 at Camden Yards that night while the NFL had also hoped to stage its annual kickoff game across the parking lot at M&T Bank Stadium.

However, after several days of talks and the Orioles' willingness to move their game up to 4:05, both sides decided there was too much to work through to pull off a doubleheader. As a result, the Ravens will become the first reigning Super Bowl champions to open on the road since 2003.

"After thorough discussions among the Orioles, the NFL and the Ravens, it became clear that holding both an Orioles' game and the Ravens' regular-season opener on the same day would create logistical situations that would cause serious issues for the city of Baltimore, and fans for both teams," Ravens team president Dick Cass said. "The Ravens greatly appreciate the willingness of the Orioles to adjust the start of their game in an effort to make this sports spectacular happen. But, in the end, anticipated problems with parking, rush-hour traffic, plus crowd and car congestion around Oriole Park and M&T Bank Stadium, will keep the doubleheader from taking place."

....

The two downtown neighbors, who bonded over the last year with the Ravens' vocally supporting the Orioles during their surprising run to the playoffs and the Orioles returning the favor during the Ravens' Super Bowl run, maintained Friday that the situation spurred no hard feeling between the two.

"The Orioles did make an effort," said Kevin Byrne, the Ravens' senior vice president of public and community relations. "They were willing to adjust their time. They went above and beyond. We appreciate that."

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti acknowledged ...that the Orioles were in a tough spot. He said that the Ravens would offer financial compensation to their neighbors. However to the Orioles, it was more a baseball matter than a financial one.

The Orioles and White Sox play the previous night in different cities and they didn't want their players to have a quick turnaround the next day, especially during a potential pennant race. The Orioles also doubted that they'd be able to get the necessary approval from the White Sox, Major League Baseball and the players association to make such a change.

Obviously, the NFL should show the MLB who's boss.  Might makes right, USA! USA!

idiots all of you

Also, don't forget to hate on the jews for playing the PC/race card on the NFL.  Goddamn shysters screwing around with the greatest event in Baltimore football history evAR.

Ravens signed Dumervil for essentially the same years/length/money/guaranteed money as the Birds gave Barwin
