NFL Schedule 2011: Packers vs. Saints Is NFL's First Primetime Game of the Year

By Eric Bowman(Featured Columnist) on April 20, 2011

2011 NFL Schedule Has the Packers Hosting the Saints on Opening Night

The last two Super Bowl winners will be going head-to-head in week one. It's such a good matchup that NBC snagged it up for the Thursday night primetime slot of opening night.

Two of the top five quarterbacks in the league will battle it out at 8:30 pm ET on September 8th, 2011. As reigning champs the Packers have the pleasure of hosting the first game of the season. It truly is the best game of week one, and it deserves to kick off the season. Gregg Rosenthal of NBC Sports writes it will be a good or bad day for NFL fans.

Partisan fight leads Obama to move date of speech

First, Obama ambushed the GOP by upstaging the party’s presidential debate with a major address. Then Republicans returned fire by trying to push it back to the 8th. Then the name-calling started. Finally, late Wednesday, Obama agreed to change the day — even if it means backtracking and bumping against the NFL’s Thursday night opener.

“Both Houses will be back in session after their August recess on Wednesday, September 7th, so that was the date that was requested,” Obama press secretary Jay Carney said in a statement after a day of partisan sniping.

“We consulted with the Speaker about that date before the letter was released, but he determined Thursday would work better. The President is focused on the urgent need to create jobs and grow our economy, so he welcomes the opportunity to address a Joint Session of Congress on Thursday, September 8th and challenge our nation’s leaders to start focusing 100% of their attention on doing whatever they can to help the American people.”
