You guys covered that earlier... I was addressing the home and away portion of the discussion and how it's planned pretty far in advance. And, I still think the greater advantage for Denver would be having more home games late in a season when teams are dealing with injuries and colder weather. And, with regards to the history of early home games -- I can't rationally explain it and don't believe I've tried to do so. If I were a fan of another team, I would be in an uproar over it as well. What I have said is this - I would like to see if there are other teams that have had similar scheduling over the years. I would be surprised if it were just Denver, but if someone wants to do the research league wide, go for it.
