[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't people worry about their kids starting out the week tired?[/quote]

No, it is a once a year event.  No different than when Halloween is on a weekday.  The latest the game will be over will be 10:30pm.  School starts at 9am.  Not a huge issue.  [/quote]

Isn't trick-or-treating at 5 or 6 pm? [/quote]

No, because it's not dark at 5 or 6 pm and no one is home from work yet to give out candy.

My 11-year-old will watch the whole thing this year.[/quote]

Ugh.[/quote]

Can you please explain the "ugh"? Kickoff is at 6:30, so barring overtime the game will be over by 10. That's only an hour past my 11-year-old's bedtime.[/quote]

Sure. Sports are pointless, mindless, and (not exclusively) in football's case, dangerous. I wish parents would emphasize academics as a priority instead of sports. Does your child ever stay up an hour past bedtime reading? That is much more enriching than watching grown men fight over a ball, every time.[/quote]

Actually, the grown men fighting over a ball are richer than you or anyone else here.[/quote]
