Do we have the NFL on board for this move ?  They have changed their dates
around in the past and can in the future.  The Super Bowel use to be in
January - remember ?

The farther into January you push this contest, the less the chance of 6M
sporadic E and the greater the chance of a east coast sweep of the top ten
every year.  Not to mention the large number of contesters too far from
population centers to work anybody with normal winter conditions, who may
only get on if there is a chance to work someone on 6M Es.

It would be pretty ridiculous to trade off conditions for a non-football
weekend, just to have the NFL move things and AGAIN have the contest on a
football weekend.

So, which one of you has the NFL bosses ear on this ? ?
