Wednesday Night Football?  Tuesday, the National Football League
announced that it will play its first Wednesday night game in
nearly 65 years.  Why the change, you ask?  The Democratic
National Convention is being held that week, and President
Barack Obama is slated to speak on Thursday (the NFL season has
customarily kicked off on the first Thursday of September).
This is chess, not checkers. The president trumps pigskin and
fantasy football players everywhere will be setting their
lineups a day earlier.
