Schedule Change
The air time for the National Football League season opener between the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins was changed to accommodate the final night of the Republican National Convention. Since 2002, the game was traditionally aired at 8:30 p.m. eastern standard time on the first thursday after Labor Day. In 2008, the game began at 7:00 p.m. eastern standard time. The move allowed NBC to air both the game and John McCain's acceptance speech without overlap or conflict.Reuters: NFL Season opener yields to McCain speech
