Thanks, but you forgot to say "click on the link [URL="http://www.wavy.com/dpp/sports/sports_wavy_nfl_flexible_scheduling_20081222"][COLOR=#810081]Which game would you prefer to watch?[/COLOR][/URL]".

Anyways, I cannot believe the amount of people opting for the Dallas/Eagles game. It should be Blasphemy in that part of the world.

[quote=Beemnseven;515018]If you're referring to ESPN 1310, you won't get any help from Tony Mercurio. He HATES the Skins. He was openly calling for the FOX affiliate to show some balls and give the area Cowboys-Eagles.[/quote]
He's the reason I don't listen to 1310. Thank God for XM.

I voted for you guys but the Redskins are at 43% against the Cowboys 56%!? WTF

Re: A little support needed due to the flex schedule from the warpathers, HELP NEEDED!
 

First time post here, voted for the cause. I hope it works out for you guys down in 757, but worst comes to worse hit up a bar b/c im sure if the skins arnt on that any good sports bar will be packed with skins fans who want to see the game.

Man, I knew I was forgetting something. lol. I think some people just want to see a game that matters ie; a play off game but Virginia is Redskins country. I don't get them screwing over local fans.

Same confrence and everything. They should be flexing the Skins game also and run it earlier.

It is blasphemy Angry. At least to me it is. But we have alot of transplants around here, Navy....lots of military etc., so we get this kind of stuff from time to time.

Re: A little support needed due to the flex schedule from the warpathers, HELP NEEDED!
 

they cant play a west coast game a 1pm eastern.

Re: A little support needed due to the flex schedule from the warpathers, HELP NEEDED!
 

I believe it's a 4:00 game.

Re: A little support needed due to the flex schedule from the warpathers, HELP NEEDED!
 

[quote=skinsfan_nn;514916]Hey fellas,

Due to this flex schedule this week backs up the pukes/philly game to 4pm, same time as our SKINS game. Here in the local Hampton Roads area they are actually dumb enough to be talking about bumping the SKINS game out (Our LOCAL TEAM), first time EVER.

To show the pukes/philly game to get the ratings. A little help would be greatly appreciated. They are voting on this issue to see who gets the most votes then try to make a discussion on what game to show..? :doh:

Please just take a second to vote for the SKINS game and help us out in the greater Hampton Roads area. Link is provided. It only takes a second.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think it will happen and they will air the skins game. Years back the Skins were playing a meaningless game and around half time they switched over to another game with teams playing for a playoff spot. They had so many calls they switched back after like 15 minutes. They also put a thing in the news paper apologizing for taking them off the air.

I would hope your right and they don't make that mistake. But you really never know?

But the votes should make it loud and clear, lets out vote the puke/philly fans and make it a no brainier.

I just got off the phone with FOX and the decision HAS NOT been made yet at this point I can tell you that.

I'm waiting for a return call back from Doug Davis at FOX/Wavy the GM. Please call OR just drop a email to show support.

Re: A little support needed due to the flex schedule from the warpathers, HELP NEEDED!
 

voted too, while the network might have a legit agenda of trying to figure out which game to play they also get a nice spike in their website hits . . . hmmmmm.

maybe they took notice of how many skins fans voted for the probowl online and realized we are an organized bunch? hmmmm . . .

sorry, just the conspiracy theorist in me i suppose. just suspicious like when i canceled my cell phone service a moonth ago but got something in the mail saying my account wasnt closed, called them and it seems they have a "computer glitch" that just so happens to err in their favor.

go skins!!

its was 56% to 44% in favor of the cowboys game when i voted.

Re: A little support needed due to the flex schedule from the warpathers, HELP NEEDED!
 

This is brutal. I pay for Sunday Ticket so I can watch every Skins game while in exile down in South Carolina. But guess where I will be this weekend? In HAMPTON ROADS, VA at my sister-in-laws house! Can anyone recommend a decent place down there to watch the game if they end up preempting it?

Re: A little support needed due to the flex schedule from the warpathers, HELP NEEDED!
 

[quote=Paintrain;515023]I voted to help you out but dude, get the Sunday Ticket and you'll never have to worry again.[/quote]
In our area we get every single game and this is the first time they have thought to show another game.

Re: A little support needed due to the flex schedule from the warpathers, HELP NEEDED!
 

Some real good early news. The GM ( Doug Davis) from FOX just returned my phone call, very nice and smart business man, AND UNDERSTANDS THIS WAS A VERY BAD MISTAKE!

At this point and there will be one more call this afternoon to closeout. This is being worked out at the very highest level, but right NOW he just gave my 99% assurance OUR REDSKINS WILL BE SHOWN OVER THE PUKES/ PHILLY GAME!

Keep voting until we get the FINAL! THANKS TO ALL OF REDSKIN NATION AND KEEP VOTING.

I usually watch the game at home SC Skins Fan but I think Applebys and some other places have games on. Sorry.. not much help I know but if I find out about a place I'll let you know. I think we'll end up getting the game on Fox like usual.

Re: A little support needed due to the flex schedule from the warpathers, HELP NEEDED!
 

Great job everyone. I had 7 people vote from here at work. I didn't think that this would fly but not sure why they cannot show one game on FOX and the other on WAVY.

Re: A little support needed due to the flex schedule from the warpathers, HELP NEEDED!
 

It's a Festivus MIRACLE!

Congrats guys, enjoy the game.

Re: A little support needed due to the flex schedule from the warpathers, HELP NEEDED!
 

This is now what replaces the link to voting.

We've heard from Redskins fans loud and clear! Thousands of you logged on and voiced your preference on which game to show, Cowboys vs Eagles or Redskins vs 49ers. We've been working with the FOX network and we are happy to announce the Redskins game IS GOING TO AIR SUNDAY AT 4:15 P.M. ON FOX 43 TV.

We appreciate hearing from so many of you about your game preference.

If you want to see the Cowboys vs Eagles game, it will be available on NFL Direct Ticket or check with local restaurants/bars to see if they are carrying the game.

As part of the NFL's flexible scheduling, The Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles game on FOX on Sunday, December 28, was moved from 1 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. This move conflicted with the Washington Redskins vs San Francisco 49ers game, also scheduled at 4:15 p.m. on FOX. Flex scheduling was instituted with the new television contract in 2005 to allow more attractive games to be switched to prime time in the last two months of the season.
