NFL playoffs, 2002-03 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia After the success of holding Saturday prime time playoff games during the 2001-02 postseason, the league revised all of the Sunday playoff games starting in 2002 to draw more television viewers. When the Denver Broncos and the San Francisco 49ers hosted the AFC and NFC championship games during the 1989-90 playoffs, the league moved both contests an hour later, but it also forced the networks to reluctantly change or move their prime time lineups.   New times announced for NFL playoff games. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/NFL_playoffs,_2002-03   (1847 words)

NFL playoffs, 2003-04 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The NFL playoffs following the 2003 NFL season led up to Super Bowl XXXVIII.

NFL playoff expansion is put on a back burner Though several NFL executives and coaches said one more year under the 32-team format should add to the chances of expanding the playoffs, Tagliabue indicated it would be more like two or three more years, with eight divisions. There will be no expansion of the NFL playoff system in the foreseeable future, because owners and coaches decided yesterday during the closing day of the league's spring meetings that the issue needed considerably more study. Every NFL game counts, unlike in the NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball, in which there are more than a few yawners as the regular season ebbs along. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-chat/918631/posts   (1747 words)

USATODAY.com - Miles won't lift blackout for Bears Now the NFL is ready to show how far it might go to alienate hometown fans for the sake of ticket sales by risking blackouts in the USA's No. 3 market. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello says "nobody wants to see any games blacked out," but it's "also difficult to sell something you're giving away for free" on TV. The NFL's local TV blackout policy, which began in 1973, mandates fans can't see teams' home games without sellouts 72 hours before kickoffs. www.usatoday.com /sports/comment/hiestand/2002-07-18-2002-07-18-bears-tv_x.htm   (746 words)

SignOnSanDiego.com > Super Bowl XXXVII -- Top officials, mostly SB rookies, thrown into fray The NFL has yet to give major consideration to repeated suggestions that it'd be better if the top-rated crew is rewarded with the Super Bowl assignment. Essentially, the NFL has assembled its own seven-man squad of all-star officials, each of whom has graded highest at his particular post over the course of the regular season. But that was at least debatable, which was more than even NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue could offer after the blown ruling in San Francisco denied the Giants another chance at a winning field goal. www.signonsandiego.com /sports/superbowl/20030125-9999_mz1x25crew.html   (831 words)

NFL Playoffs 2002 That the Browns, the unlikeliest of visitors to the playoffs, are still playing is entirely appropriate in this muddled, field-leveling NFL season. The Browns were only in their fourth season since returning to the NFL, but the team's president was tired of hearing the excuses, tired of hearing the E-word. The former University of Miami coach is now 16-16 in the NFL -- and the Browns seem to have finally rid themselves of the crutch of the expansion label. espn.go.com /nfl/playoffs02/s/2002/1231/1485102.html   (2035 words)

FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Football analysis and NFL stats for the Moneyball era - Authors of Pro Football Prospectus 2005 The NFL sells itself on the idea that any team can win any given game, but we use these upsets as a tool to explore what trends and subtle aspects of each team are revealed in a single game. Gado is different than the average NFL player not just because he spent his first nine years in Nigeria but also because rather than majoring in “general studies,” he earned a pre-med degree. At the point when the Falcons clinched their playoff position after Week 15, they were ranked just 16th in the entire league — but this was still good enough to be third in the conference behind Philadelphia and the surging Carolina Panthers. www.footballoutsiders.com /2005/11/15/ramblings/any-given-sunday/3215   (10206 words)

The Cub Reporter: February 2003 Archives As Matt points out, 2002 was an off-year for Aurilia (who played with an injury most of the year) — his career OBP is.332 and it was higher than that before his anemic.305 last year. Either way, the Cubs severely underperformed in 2002, possibly putting themselves in position to exceed expectations next year, especially with a manager whose teams tend to overperform — in his ten years at the helm of the Giants, his teams exceeded their Pythagorean expectations by a total of 15 games. Hill’s 2001 MLEs were better (288/365/351) and his 2002 actual numbers were roughly the same as Grudz’s (253/327/374). www.all-baseball.com /cubreporter/archives/2003_02.html   (7206 words)

Baseball Toaster : Mike's Baseball Rants : March 2003 Like the NFL, they want a system where teams just hold their hats under the league money spigot, and have no responsibility to their fans to try to improve at the expense of one another.
