Lions vs. Falcons in London is played at 8:30CT

[mcbear34]

I put this in the Around the League - but figured I'd put it here since the Lions are in our division.

Sunday at 8:30CT AM in London. Just an FYI.

might wake up early to watch that. who's home game is it?

 

[mcbear34]

Atlanta

Too bad one of our home games this year wasn't in London. We'd have a better chance of winning it there.

 

[mcbear34]

Does the league know that some people go to church or like to sleep in? I guess not....

Fucking Goodell.

Enough of my bitchin'

I'll watch and hope the Falcons win

You all going to have to not drink the night before, that's all. Oh, and I have a hard time believing anyone on here goes to church, they wouldn't allow you in.

Reminds me of last season when the 1-4 Vikings (one win in London) played the 0-5 Giants and Berman joked that neither team had won a game in the US.

I'm excited about the Lions game. I always am jealous of West coast fans since they only have to wait until 10:00am for football on Sunday. Going to be a long drunken day with the Packers playing at 7:30pm.

Imagine if they did this before the time change in the next couple of weeks, it woulda screwed up everything

Ya we should do coke the night before and believe it's just the same day and have the curtains shut so it feels like a Saturday night, LOL!

We're nuts man- [video=youtube;lENb6OzabPs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lENb6OzabPs[/video]

Sweet! That means I get to watch the Bears locally

 

[Scoot26]

I'm not so sure there will be a game. They don't seem to know where London is.

Wait, let me get this correct - that game will ACTUAL be on at 8:30 in the morning?

Everyone knows ATL doesn't have fans. The only people watching that game will be Detroit Lions fans. Bizarre.

If the game was played at 12:00CST like most games, that's a 6pm kickoff London time. Why not do that?

Stupid.

They wanted to experiment with an afternoon game.

 

[Jailbreak]

I don't really get the point with games in England. It just doesn't seem very realistic to me. It's hard to imagine they'll generate as much money as it would in Atlanta or Detroit, but I'll watch it before the 1pm games.

That's pretty funny, scoot - I guess they were thinking Barcelona or Madrid.

You gotta be shittin' me. How can someone make a mistake like that???

 

[jcrab66]

Another shitty idea by he league. Evidently the Falcons found the stadium because they are kicking some Lion ass right now
