The CRAZIEST Scheduling Controversy in NFC Championship HISTORY | 1996 NFC Championship

[@alexe1707]

I know it's fairly recent 2023, but you should do a video on how a lacrosse team sold tickets just so fans could tailgate for an Eagles game playoff game

[@bryanglass5818]

Fun fact: when the Super Bowl was played two weeks later, there was a Bucks game scheduled for that evening. Rather than be in direct conflict with the Super Bowl, the Bucks game was pulled in so tipoff occurred either @ noon or 1:00 CT.

[@MikeBEASTLEY]

yeah, I remember when the Packers and Bears played in the NFC Championship, Wisconsin and Northwestern moved its basketball game up to like 11 a.m. so the fanbases could watch the NFC Championship.

[@mgb4692]

@@MikeBEASTLEY I also remember Flyers/Blackhawks on NBC ending just before it started and they cut right away once they finished

[@Bullwine]

Funnily enough, when the Bucks were set to play Game 6 of the 2021 NBA Finals, the Brewers moved their start time earlier the games would not conflict with each other.

[@WaltGekko]

And as I remember it was because the Bucks were favored to win those NBA Finals, MLB when they moved the All-Star game out of at Atlanta where they planned to honor Hank Aaron, they could not move it to Milwaukee because there was not enough five-star hotel space to cover both an All-Star game and an NBA Finals even with a pandemic causing other events to be canceled or postponed.

This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about the hassles Milwaukee residents had in trying to get to a Packers game against the Chargers during that 1996 season.

[@FreshPie1]

Last Saturday the Pistons had a game with the Suns scheduled for 3 hours before kickoff of the Lions Commanders game. But once the NFL announced the time of that game the NBA decided to schedule the start of the Pistons game an hour earlier then planned. NBA seems to always be willing to change plans because of the NFL.

Your right. I work both at Little Caesars arena and at Ford Field.

[@Phateagle262]

Also...the Bucks were mostly doodoo in the mid 90s, and IIRC this was just at the tail end of when they were next to impossible to catch on local TV.

[@RetroJR3379]

Back in 2017 a A's/Indians game got moved from 4pm to 9am so it wont interferes with the NBA Finals

[@wilderac2250]

Yesterday’s bucks game was kinda in doubt in the beginning. The Heat started the game with a 20-5 lead and the bucks were looking sluggish in the first half of the first quarter

[@marcus813]

The Packers are wildly popular in Milwaukee, so I understand why the Bucks did what they did.

[@mgb4692]

As did the Celtics in 91 with Game 2 vs the Pistons (Eastern semis) while the Bruins played Game 5 vs the Pens (Wales final). The Garden must have hella been booked that week for the NBA not to simply move it to Wednesday (they played on Thurs afternoon), even though that would have been a back-to-back and would have required them to rearrange the TV schedule on short notice

Not only was the NHL totally different in '91 but since when have Boston and Pittsburgh ever played in a *Western* conference anywhere (current D1 conference alignment efforts notwithstanding)?

Oddly enough, this isn’t even the first time this *month* that you’ve done a video about an NBA game being postponed due to an NFL playoff game, as you talked about when the Nets-Bullets game on December 28, 1985 was pushed back because Giants Stadium ended up hosting *two* Wild Card games that weekend.

[@attiepollard7847]

So who played first Giants or jets?

[@ianpoyant9772]

Jets on Saturday, hence the conflict with the Nets, followed by the Giants on Sunday.

[@rngfootball759]

The Bucks at the time have Ray Allen and Glenn Robinson but not much depth while the Warriors at the time were a terrible team (in spite of Sprewell, Mark Price, Chris Mullen and Joe Bust smith, plus another team that passed up on Kobe)

[@KnightBoat]

The 90s were lean years for the Bucks where the Packers were finally good again. Had there been such a conflict about a decade earlier when the Bucks were contenders and the Packers were lousy, or even now that the Bucks have a recent championship to their credit, this might be a different story. Wisconsin might be a football state, but basketball is king in Milwaukee.

[@ShiloStigen]

I thought it was cool that the Packers we used to play in Milwaukee, but the only way I could see that happening now is if Marquette brought back football and had a good enough stadium for the Packers to use, and even then it would probably only be in years that they had a ninth home game.
