Are you ready for some late night football?? Raiders-Chargers game moved to 11:35 PM EDT!!!

[Yavin4]

It's official: This Sunday's Chargers-Raiders game at O.co Coliseum will, in fact, kick off at 8:35 p.m. PT. This isn't a concerted effort to keep the East Coast from being subjected to Raiders football, but a logistical consequence of the Oakland A's hosting a playoff game on Saturday.

1. Fucking West Coast Bias!!

At least they aren't being pre-empted for the Skankees!!

[Yavin4]

2. Enjoy your playoff game

It will be your last for another 20 years.

[madinmaryland]

3. I am! So is my Dad. Of course, do you think the little steinbrenners who remind me of

Sam Walton's children will be able to maintain the winning ways?

Like your avatar! I do remember working with these damn things in college...

[Yavin4]

5. Stein Brats are clueless. They're more likely to sell. Praying that Mark Cuban buys the team.

Yep. Masturbating to punch card porn was really difficult.

[madinmaryland]

7. Cuban was thinking of buying the Pirates several years back. I think El Supremo is hoping that he

buys the Rangers (assuming that is his team of the week).

Yeah, the IBM guys had to clean all that sticky stuff out of the card readers and card jams!!

[El Supremo]

9. + all my old Playboys!

I almost remember this:

[trumad]

12. Hey Yavin---how's that Kiffin working out for you?

[Yavin4]

13. Great. Now that he's gone.

He served his purpose.

[trumad]

14. and what purpose was that?

[Yavin4]

15. Placeholder coach while the penalties ran

Now, we get a new coach with a fresh start.

[trumad]

16. Dude...

I suggest you go back and read everything you wrote about Mr Kiffin.

You're love for that Douchebag was legendary.

[Yavin4]

17. Hey, that's what fans do.

Gimme a break.

[KamaAina]

18. Tomorrow is 20 years from now?

Is there some sort of disruption in the space-time continuum?

[Auggie]

6. Blame $elig. Had this A's / Giants territorial dispute had been settled a few years back ...

the A's would have their own stadium by now.

--- OR ---

Had this extra wild card game never been established, divisional playoffs would have started today. And game 5 (if necessary) would have been Monday.

[KamaAina]

19. Can't let Lew Wolff off the hook, either

So desperate is he to move the team to world-class San Jose , where he owns real estate including hotels, that he has repeatedly rebuffed efforts to build a baseball-only stadium in Oakland, much like Boner et al. are doing with the government.

[TBF]

8. What teams were those again?

[hughee99]

10. I like it. On the upside, although

I live on the east coast, I'm usually up until 3am anyway, so it will be nice to watch live sports for a change... On the downside, it's the raiders and chargers.

[Jamaal510]

11. Why are people here only dissing the Raiders?

At 2-2, the Chargers aren't that great, either. Rivers is aging, their running game sucks, and they haven't made the playoffs in several years. In addition to that, they don't even have any Super Bowl titles. Though the Raiders haven't made the postseason in a decade, they still have the most SBs out of any team in the AFC West. The Broncos, Chargers, and Chiefs are all chokers in the playoffs.

[frylock]

20. fucking ridiculous..

why not flip the schedule or play at another site?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

21. Raiders fan forever

Fuck the rest of the AFC West.

[Jamaal510]

22. As I'm typing this,

the Raiders are up 17-0 at half. I'm not counting my chickens yet, since I'm well aware of how Rivers and his gang love to play possum against us through the first half and then come back. But boy, I fucking wish that I could watch this game right now; I don't have cable yet and can only get the basic channels, not NFL Network.

[Auggie]

23. KRON Channel 4 aired the game in the Bay Area last night

[Jamaal510]

27. I'm staying in Humboldt County now,

so I can't get KRON 4 either.

[JonLP24]

24. Pryor is suprising me so far

I admit I wasn't all that familiar with him but I seem to recall his passing skills/mechanics were often a subject of criticism at Ohio State but he is passing the ball very well in his first season as a starter.

[Auggie]

25. I'm watching the rerun on NFL network

Footwork, accuracy, handoffs, fakes, intuition, improvisation -- all there. Arm strength may be questioned, but ever since Bill Walsh called that attribute bullshit I don't take it seriously.

[JonLP24]

26. Only thing I really remember

was he kept throwing off his back foot against USC. Good to hear he has footwork taken care.

[Jamaal510]

28. Ditto. eom
