    Oh, no... *consecutive* Jewish holidays!

    Check the ESPN story here...

    The NFL has moved the start time of a game played in NYC because of complaints about playing games on *two* consecutive Jewish holidays.

    Would the Christian community were as up in arms about the NFL annually playing on 24 consecutive Lord's Days...

    Let's ask they play all those games on Saturday. I actually would prefer that for a number of reasons.

    How absurd a tenet is this, which holdeth that there is some particular worship of God allowed, and not commanded? What new light is this which maketh all our divines to have been in the mist, who have acknowledged no worship of God, but that which God hath commanded? Who ever heard of commanded and allowed worship?

    If the Christian community truly cared about the games being played on the Lord's Day, it would be changed...

    I wonder if people who want sporting events rescheduled will be added to the list of terrorist suspects

    By the way, Folks, I was being totally fecitious and sarcastic. If you thanked me b/c you thought I meant that law should be pitted against grace, I will remove them at your request.

    No, not on Saturday. I prefer College football, and it would cut into my options. Play them all on Thursdays.

    Football is quickly loosening its grip on me. I really don't care when they play them but there are a lot of reasons why I'd like to see them played on another day. A lot of them.
