Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2003 So, this weekend, the Dolphins get the Sunday night ESPN game, then have to play at Dallas on Thanksgiving. WTF? Both home teams for Thanksgiving (Dallas & Detroit) play early games on Sunday, as does Green Bay (Detroit's opponent). Yet, the team that has to travel the farthest gets stuck w/ an 8:45 PM start on Sunday. So, what does that give the Dolphins, practice-wise? Monday - off day? light practice? team meetings only? Tuesday - practice Wednesday - maybe morning practice, then travel Thursday - game Pretty poor planning by the NFL scheduling department. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stop yer bitchin' until you get to Foxboro in December, THEN you'll have something to cry about. Big deal. Last year, the Dolphins had 3 games w/in a span of 13 days (Monday 12/9 - Sunday 12/15 - Saturday 12/21). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted November 18, 2003 the Dallas/Miami game should be good either way I could careless about the Packers/Lions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2003 It's traditon. Detroit seldom plays anyone outside the NFC North on Thanksgiving, when they aren't playing an AFC team. So seeing Chicago, Minnesota, and Green Bay shouldn't come has a suprise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to the Detroit Lions Website it's the 17th time they played on Thanksgiving. Thier Most frequent "guest". I still contend the NFL should have a Christmas Game Tradition and Make it a Superbowl Rematch stip or something (of course if they did that THIS year...it'd be a sucky ass game) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted November 18, 2003 The NBA has games on Christmas, and they usually give some damn good games. Unless it was a night game its not needed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
