GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
Jason La Canfora reports in the Washington Post (via PFT) that the 2008 NFL season will open on Thursday, September 4, with the Washington Redskins visiting the Meadowlands to take on the Super Bowl champion New York Giants.
Although nothing formal has been announced, the game will presumably be televised by NBC, which owns the network television rights to prime time regular-season games.
The Super Bowl champion hosting the season opener on Thursday night has become an NFL tradition over the last five years, although this year there's a bit of a controversy, as Thursday, September 4 is also the final day of the Republican National Convention.
The NFL will most likely back down and move the kickoff to 7 p.m. in an effort to have it finished before John McCain gives his convention speech, although if the game goes long, it could be the least-watched speech in the half-century plus that the conventions have been televised. Barack Obama will be hoping for overtime.
