At first I was amused by this post from This Modern World:
If John McCain was hoping to use his speech at the Republican convention in September to try to woo working class voters away from Obama, he might have hit a snag. It seems that McCain’s speech (which traditionally happens on the final night of the convention) will be happening at the same time of the NFL season opener between the Superbowl champs NY Giants and the Washington Redskins.
On reflection, I think this is part of a massive conspiracy by the NFL to get McCain elected. I mean, if people actually heard his convention speech, what chance would he have? The NFL is helping to hush up the Republican agenda, and this year there’s no greater service they could render for the Republican Party.

isn’t it just too bad that i will pass on both the speech and the game?
like either event will make any difference…
