Flexed again. This time a double-Flex
Dude...post the article:
Kickoff time for two upcoming Steelers games have been flexed.
The Steelers-Los Angeles Chargers game on Sunday, Dec. 2 (Week 13) has been moved into primetime and will be an 8:20 p.m. kickoff on NBC. The game was originally scheduled to be a 1 p.m. kickoff on CBS.
In addition, the team’s Sunday, Dec. 9 (Week 14) game against the Oakland Raiders at Oakland Coliseum has been changed to a 4:25 p.m. kickoff and will air on FOX. The game was originally slated for an 8:20 p.m. kickoff on NBC.
NFL flexible scheduling runs from Weeks 5-17. The NFL implemented flexible scheduling in 2006 for Weeks 10-15 and expanded it in 2014 to include Weeks 5-17.
Jeez. Can't buy tickets for any game after October if you're a Steelers fan.
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile...

Not long though, it had been announced, definitively, that the Chargers game would NOT be moved.

Makes to much sense to schedule them a month at a time as the season progresses.

They don’t do a prime time game in week 17 anymore.

You sure, Pro, or just last year when final Sunday was New Year's Eve?

My mistake. You must be correct. Found this on the NFL site.
“The Week 17 Sunday night game will be announced no later than six days before Dec. 30. The schedule does not list a Sunday night game in Week 17, but an afternoon game with playoff implications will be moved to that time slot. Flexible scheduling ensures quality matchups in all Sunday time slots, and gives “surprise” teams a chance to play their way into primetime.”

Thanks Suwanee! Not as much to say, but this team's got me believing again. Hope we don't get the Little Bitch Lucy routine again.
I was banned for about a 12 hour period earlier in the season due to some Hall Monitor bullshit (You know who you are...)...wouldn't have even noticed had I not tried to sign in during the wee hours.
Was going to post on my pilgrimage to Heinz in October but never got around to it.
when you turn into Rachel Maddow of steelerfury the ban is warranted.
I hate the flexing! Because the SNF matchup means nothing to me. I just watch the Steelers, they could have Trump vs. Obama in a cage match and I probably wouldn't watch.

You didn't even have the wherewithal to make your political post in the general discussion forum. As they say, never go full retard.

You're way too young, RS, to have gotten so fuckin' boring. I know that marriage and fatherhood can do that to a guy...but already??
Few things...
*Post was hardly political; was more general humor, except for the humorless. If you can't laugh at the Supreme Court nominee testifying publicly that he was a virgin well past high school...
*General Discussion isn't where people post shit; it's where shit gets moved. General Discussion is where posts go to die.
*Unlike many on this esteemed website, I don't really give a fuck about being banned. If mods want to ban me for this, then go the fuck ahead. As I said on Jim Wexell's site some years back...I've been thrown out of better places than this (and was promptly banned, only to have Wex later ask me to write articles for him).
Anyone ever accuse you of always needing to get the last word?
