flgreen Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Jets-Giants On Right End Of Reported 8-Game NFL Season… For Now June 7, 2011 12:22 PM NEW YORK (WFAN) – Jets vs. Giants, a preseason staple. A regular season rarity. If the NFL is forced to shorten their season from 16 games to 8, as reported Monday by SportsBusiness Journal’s Daniel Kaplan, will New York’s battle for gridiron bragging rights be safe? According to Kaplan, the 2011 NFL season could start in late November “as the league plans for the possibility of an abbreviated season because of the nearly three-month-long lockout.” The Super Bowl would be played in Indianapolis on February 12. “I think if you get under nine games, you’re gonna have people that want to put an asterisk (next to) Super Bowl XLVI,” Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio told WFAN’s Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts on Tuesday. LISTEN: PFT’s Mike Florio talks lockout, shortened schedule As it stands, Jets-Giants is on the right end of a shortened schedule, slated for Christmas Eve. That could change if the NFL schedule undergoes a total re-haul. With one matchup against each division rival in the second half of the Giants’ and Jets’ schedules, there’s reason for hope. Jets’ final eight games as scheduled: vs. New England, @ Denver, vs. Buffalo, @ Washington, vs. Kansas City, @ Philadelphia, vs. NY Giants, @ Miami. Giants’ final eight games as scheduled: @ San Francisco, vs. Philadelphia, @ New Orleans, @ Green Bay, @ Dallas, vs. Washington, @ N.Y. Jets, vs. Dallas. Of course, right now it’s all speculation. But, in the case of an eight-game schedule, one thing’s for certain: the much-anticipated Giants-Redskins season opener — on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks — wouldn’t be played. Can the NFL really let that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone thinks billionaires give a damn about what happened on 9/11 at the price of not getting to expand their net worth then those people are sadly mistaken.

serphnx Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 The irony is the same moron commissioner that wanted 18 games now will have an 8 game season...if any. It's always funny to watch greedy people ruin something. The true brilliant people always build something, then get kicked to the curb in favor of "businessmen" who then generally destroy whatever it is they pushed someone out of. The only capable businessman I know of is Steve Jobs, the rest are useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barcs Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 But, in the case of an eight-game schedule, one thing’s for certain: the much-anticipated Giants-Redskins season opener — on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks — wouldn’t be played. Can the NFL really let that happen? Who gives a crap about that? I want a football season. I don't care to be reminded of the biggest tragedy in US history. It doesn't make the least bit of difference what day the game is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
