I really want to apply for a job and be one of the schedule makers... I'm pretty sure with 30 beers and a few hours, I'd be able to hammer down a schedule that will break ratings records for all stations.

Ha, I dont know why I'm so bitter about this... maybe its just that I wanan get my time off in cause its tough sometimes to get days off here or what, but I'm really impatient with this.

You're saying my job's easy?! Granted, it's not my job anymore but still just a few things to consider:

-Contractual limitations and obligations
-Other programming obligations on the networks
-Event logistics (suppose there's an MLB game in Baltimore the same day as a home Ravens game and at the same time, how will that affect traffic patterns, or what if there's a concert scheduled in the stadium?)
-Franchise QB gets traded at the last minute before the schedule is set to be announced
-Traveling distance for teams and networks

Did you actually used to write it? lol... I'm so confused now.

No I know, I'm being a little rediculous... but I mean they know there is a ton that goes into it...but I think what really irritates me about it is that the NFL keeps it as some like huge secret. I mean we already know who and where we're playing, should it really be a big deal as so when. Even if they just release the dates that we'll be home, it would just be a lot easier to plan... and I just hate how its been pushed back and the Week 1 Primetimes werent released this year....

I'm just beeing needy lol. Maybe its because I overslept this morning.

And just tell me when its gonna be released, if its gonna be next Monday, then fine. Just let me know so I'm not refreshing PFT/TWP and NFL.com 800 times a day.

Well not me alone, but yeah I was part of the group (moved on to bigger things now, but I still consult on it)

Even the dates we'll be home honestly comes down to the very last minute

It should be released sometime between tonight and Thursday night, but then again it should have been last week until...we screwed it all up

Thats actually kind of a cool gig. I didnt know you did that.

You may or may not be able to answer this, but how does something like that get screwed up?

I'm now like really interested in this process lol...

Im pretty sure you dont have to schedule around the 100 people that show up for an Orioles game.

The Orioles won't ever be playing past September anyways. They'll be in the way for 2 weeks tops if the Ravens are at home for the first few weeks of the season.

It's not the Orioles you have to worry about in B-More, it's the thugs in gangs and some of their cops who behave like thugs in gangs.

Stay near the harbor and out of the porn district and you'll be fine. I made the mistake of parking there once...

well played. Orioles were just an example of course. Anyway, still working on the schedule. Might be a few more days than expected
