My understanding is that the two options they are considering are for Friday 1/31, Saturday 2/1, or Monday 2/3. I haven't heard of any consideration for a week delay.[/quote]
You're correct RD, for some reason I thought they would push back a week. If the game were moved to Friday, I'd still be hosed as Friday is a travel day.[/quote]
It would be an unmitigated disaster if they had to move the game to a Friday, or any other of the days under consideration. The networks would have to change programming, advertisers would get hosed, the audience numbers wouldn't be half of what they would be in the scheduled time slot, tens of thousands of fans that spent huge sums of money on what is a once in a lifetime event for many would be out thousands of dollars in airline and hotel costs that they wouldn't be able to get reimbursed for. I could see class action lawsuits filed against the NFL for scheduling the game in New Jersey to begin with then changing the date at the last minute. God, what a mess.
If it wasn't for good people like yourself ending up holding onto the s*** end of the stick and if it didn't affect our chances of winning, I'd love to see the worst case scenario, monster snow storm hit beginning on Friday and lasting through Monday and for the league to lose a couple of billion. It would serve them right.
