Raiders and Chargers won’t swap home dates
Posted by Darin Gantt on September 19, 2013, 5:57 PM EDT
This time, the NFL isn’t sending teams elsewhere to accommodate baseball.
According to Scott Bair of CSNBayArea.com, the Raiders and Chargers won’t swap home games to avoid a potential conflict with the baseball playoffs.
Instead, they’re still considering changes dates or times of existing games. As it stands, the Chargers are scheduled to go to the Oakland on Oct. 6, and the Raiders visit San Diego on Dec. 22.
But with the Oakland A’s possibly conflicting with the first date for a playoff game, there was discussion of a switch. Instead, they’re considering a time change, or possibly playing the Oct. 6 football game on Monday, Oct. 7 if need be.
Baseball has to be loving this, after not budging on the NFL’s preference to have the Ravens open at home. Instead, the defending champs started the season on the road at Denver while the Orioles played a relatively meaningless game against the White SoxGo Rivers!Comment

Do these guys ever do research before they blog this crap?
No American League games are scheduled for that day.
If they move it to the 7th, then they would have a conflict.

Seriously. CNN botched Ken Norton's obituary today, basically stating that Ali and Norton traded the title back-and-forth between their two fights (Ali was not champ until their third fight in Yankee Stadium).Originally posted by Mister Hoarse View PostComment

So it appears the Chargers actually put the nix on the swap, but it may move the game to Monday night. I'm looking for a link, heard this on Jay Mohr's show. That would mean two straight appearances on MNF.Comment

So they would be swapping the ALDS game with the football game then?Originally posted by Bolt-O View PostComment

I read that it depends on seeding for the A's. If they are seeded 1 or 2 they play on Friday and Saturday, if they get seeded lower, they play on Monday and Tuesday. I guess they could play the Sunday game late or on Monday in the first case, or play Saturday night or Sunday, pushing the Monday baseball game to later in the second case. It takes time to remove that tarp on Mt. Davis, of course. Since the Chargers play the next Monday night, I don't think they care either way.Comment

Those aren't seedings, they're the actual games. It looks like both divisional series will play their games on the same days - Friday, Saturday, and Monday. So I'm not sure why the Chargers/Raiders would have to switch to Monday unless they were moving Game 3 to Sunday (presumably to avoid chewing up the field).Originally posted by Bolt-O View PostComment

They need a day to get the stank of the Raiers out of the place...
They need to empty the septic tank in the basement ant that takes a day...
The Raiders in Oakland admit defeat. They know they cant sell tickets to see them play when fans can watch a winner play the day befor and or the day after...Go Rivers!Comment
