The NFL announced the 2008 Kickoff Weekend schedule, which features four national games, on Monday.
The New York Giants will host the NFL East rival Washington Redskins in the season opener Sept. 4, continuing the tradition of the Super Bowl champion hosting the Thursday night season opener. Kickoff will be at 7 p.m. ET, 90 minutes earlier than usual because of the Republican National Convention. The Indianapolis Colts will host the Chicago Bears in Sunday night’s prime-time game, the first regular-season contest at Lucas Oil Stadium.
ESPN will feature a Monday night doubleheader — the Green Bay Packers, in their first game without retired quarterback Brett Favre, will host the Minnesota Vikings in the early matchup at 7 p.m. ET, while the Oakland Raiders will host the Denver Broncos in the late contest at 10:15 p.m. ET.
All right after taking a look at these games and thinking of the players in each game I am not gonna lie to you…I am not a fan of any of these games. I understand putting the G-men Thursday night but c’mon aganisit the Skins…BORING BORING BORING. Why not put them up aganisit the Cowboys, now that would be a great game!
The Colts Bears on Sunday night…first off thats a year late and second off the BEARS BLOW! That game should be a blowout! Which brings me to the Monday Night games the Packers are without Farve so that means they have who…EXCATLY..no one I want to watch! And I am not even going to comment on the Radiers Broncos game because WOW, what a brutal game that will be…honestly not to pleased with the opening games!
