NBC Jacks Fox For Their Game

This is the first season that the NFL is implementing “flexible scheduling” meaning that for the Sunday night games that air on NBC (except for last Sunday, curse you World Series) in weeks 10-15 and week 17, NBC will have their choice of what game to air. And NBC has made their first choice for week 10. Drum roll please. And with the first pick in the scheduling draft for the game to air the evening of November 12th, NBC selects…. Bears vs Giants! Not a bad match-up if both teams keep playing like they have been as of recent. This very well could be a match-up of two first place teams. Fox will replace Bears/Giants which was scheduled for 3:15 CST kickoff by moving up (or would it be back?) anyway Fox will move Saints vs Steelers from noon to 3:15. That should be a pretty good game too, so in my opinion, flexible scheduling, so far so good.
