But I still think it is retarded to start what is going to be one of the longest games you can possibly have, with auto replay and a halftime performance, at 8:30 p.m.

you're right thats my bad(don't know why but coulda sworn this was at Dallas,guess need to lay off the beer some),but still this seems usual time for a night game.Correct me if I'm wrong but dont remember a night game starting before 7cst

If it's a West game they are normally later but CST and EST games are typically about 7:00 CST.

I took tantrix's comment to mean aired at 730 there in Dallas, didn't see the disconnect. sorry.

I don't necessarily like being up 'late' on a work night, but the folks out west may not like having the game start so early, either, so everyone gets to live with it. Interesting that the only time the NFL recognizes that is the first MNF game of the season, when there's an early one and a late one.

Yeah it seems like every first MNF of the year they have two games with two West coast teams playing the late game, like it should be. Otherwise it's 7:00 CST for primetime games.
