NFL, Unlike MLB, Is Thinking Ahead

By Ryan Corazza

Hey, you know what you really want to read about in the last hour of your day before you get out early for Thanksgiving? Yes: The Jets and Giants.

Everyone is getting all crazy excited about the possibility of an all-New York Super Bowl — and man, wouldn’t the rest of the country just love that — but wait a second, don’t these team play in the same stadium in New Jersey? What’s going to happen if they both host the championship round of the playoffs? They couldn’t possibly have two games in two days, could they?

Well, thankfully Roger Goodell is already one step ahead of the game:

Per ESPN’s SportsCenter, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told WFAN radio on Tuesday that, if the Jets and the Giants both host the championship games for their respective conferences, one game would be played on Sunday night, and the other game would be played on Monday night.

It makes senses; there’s no way that both games could be played on the same day.  And with two weeks until the Super Bowl, there’s no real advantage or disadvantage to playing on Sunday or on Monday.

Phew. I’m glad this is all figured out because I wouldn’t have been able to eat my turkey or anything tomorrow without it being resolved.
