Re: Openning Game 2013 Season Now an Away Game (Merged)
Hey guys,
I just left the following message for Goodell on the 212-450-2027 line:
Yes, good afternoon, I would like to leave a message for Commissioner Goodell regarding his abhorrent handling of the opening night game for the 2013 NFL season.
The blatant disregard for the good citizens and fans of Baltimore by his refusal to be flexible on the opening day of the season is underscored only by his transparent and sickening greed. Mr. Goodell states that the NFL is unable to begin the season on Wednesday, September 4th due to the Jewish Holiday of Rosh Hashana. Well then, please explain to me why the Broncos hosted the Falcons on Monday September 17th, 2012 – the first day of Rosh Hashana.
The Baltimore Ravens were slighted after their first SuperBowl victory as Commissioner Tagliabue thought the opening of Mile High Stadium was a more momentous occasion than celebrating one of the greatest defenses of all time. Today, Mr. Goodell is taking a page out of Tagliabue’s book and force feeding us this tripe about Holiday conflict when we know it’s really about ratings and that pompous owner up in Foxboro.
Mr. Goodell, you were an old Colts fan, and the way you have followed your predecessor by thumbing your nose at the people of Baltimore and fans of the Ravens is disgraceful. Play the game on Tuesday or Wednesday, ratings be damned, and allow the men and women, many of whom you rubbed elbows with at Colt games, to celebrate our second championship in 13 years.
Good day.

Yea the media reports that have been coming out have all pointed to the Orioles as the ones who had the final say in whatever was going to happen. Not blaming them entirely, but to just blame the NFL and make it seem as if the O's organization was an innocent little lamb is a bit false IMO.

Why don't we just let the Broncos play the Pats or something on Thursday night, and open up Sunday night against the Steelers?

Re: Openning Game 2013 Season in limbo
Dude, give over because you're being ridiculous. 'Mild manners' had nothing to do with this. What's Biscotti supposed to do, tell the networks, the MLB and the NFL to shove it? Sure, there wouldn't be AAAAAAAANY reprecussions from that right? Gimme a break. If there's anybody who isn't at fault here, it's Biscotti.
