QuoteGiants-Eagles Moves to 1:00 PM ET & Vikings-Packers Moves to 4:15 PM ET

The November 1 kickoff times for the New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers games have been flipped due to logistical issues in Philadelphia should the Philadelphia Phillies be in the World Series, the NFL announced today. Giants-Eagles will now be played at 1:00 PM ET and Vikings-Packers will begin at 4:15 PM ET, both on FOX.

yea OK....moving it for the Phillies when the NFL doesn't give a F about baseball (see the Minnesota tiebreaker last week)

Total coincidence it's Minnesota@Green Bay moving to the national game huh...

yup, its all for the favre and im shocked this wasnt made the second he signed. dont blame them considering the #'s espn got.

also a little bit of banner and lurie just died inside. a 415 against ny was moved to accommodate two MA's teams and baseball. no way they took this lightly. gonna feel even more spiteful when the phils repeat, too.

This move also puts the Giants and Jets on at the same time unless CBS adjusts their schedule too...

i agree mds, you know lurie and banner are burning up the phone lines right now while taking this kidney punch.

nice to see the nfl is falling to their knees to assume maddens former position in front of favre.

smeags · October 13, 2009, 12:15:15 PM

Pretty sure the Eagles/Giants are still going to be seen by the majority of the country, so settle your little hippy vadges already.

Goddamnit. I don't wanna have to wake up at 11 to get up there.
