and it could be even worse for the SF/Chic game
that game starts @ 5:30P (PST - we will be off daylight savings time next sunday). if there is a G7 of the WS it will start around 5P.
imagine how many people will be watching the NFL game between 2 sucko teams as opposed to G7 of the WS - and we know the WS would start earlier and end later than the NFL game.
AND - to top it all off - it is Halloween on sunday meaning for time zones like PST and MST the game will start around the time kids go trick-or-treating meaning even fewer viewers for the NFL game.
