Do you really believe what you wrote?  Laughable.

Its pretty basic economics really. And I only know that because I'm one of those people that had to book a flight and hotel room without knowing which day the game is. 

 

For example, if my flight is Friday and I know for sure that the game is Saturday, I can get away with only booking one night instead of 2 nights if the game were on Sunday, therefore costing the hotel money. It also forces you to book a Monday return flight early, or risk waiting till the prices soar for a Sunday flight if you know the game is Saturday.

 

you're fooling yourself if you don't think the NFL has agreements like that with major airline and hotel companies

The NFL could care less if hotels/airlines make money.

They're not going to schedule a 1p ET game if it's SEA vs SF (for example), regardless of how much SF hotels could possibly make in the deal.

You just need to do a better job of planning on your road trip. Enjoy the city you're in for an extra night and roll into work around noon on Monday with a big fat Victory Monday smile on your face.

Venom has better conspiracy theories about 9/11 than your theory on this.

C'mon, man. The NFL schedules its playoff games to draw the highest ratings. Once they know the matchups, they'll schedule the games. The game that is most desirable to viewers will be scheduled at 4pm on Sunday. If that's an NFC game, an AFC matchup will be scheduled at 1pm Sunday and 8pm Saturday night. The other NFC game will be Saturday at 4pm. Each conference gets an early game and a late game. 

And that's it. They're not in cahoots with hotels and airlines.

And by the way, try booking any travel to any city at the last minute. You'll see that it has nothing to do with sports.

Besides, *anything* can happen before the season is over.

Take a look at http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/12/26/upshot/2015-nfl-playoff-paths.html?src=twr&smid=tw-upshotnyt&smtyp=cur#car to see the following:

The flowchart for the Falcons is almost comical.

But tools like this show why the NFL can't possibly begin scheduling games anytime before the season is over.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
