Here`s an interesting fact.  It seems there may be a conflict
between ABC showing a NFL game on either Monday or Sunday night
and one of the REAGAN/MONDALE debates!  From what I understand,
one of them may have to give in to the other.  Is this absurd
or what.  Though many people would rather watch footbal than a
debate (how sad), I think ABC should show a little class by
choosing the debate to televise.  I don`t think they should
say "Sorry guys, but we can`t move the football game, so
you`ll just have to change your debate day".  However, I`ve
also heard that something similar is already planned.  It
seems that next year`s Presidential inauguration may be held
on Jan. 21st instead of the 20th.  Why?  Because the Super Bowl
is going to be held on the 20th!!  I don`t know of an
amendment to our Constitution which changes the day of the
inauguration.  If this is true, we will technically have NO
president for a day.  It`s a sad day in the USA when a footbal
game takes precedence over the Presidential Inauguration.
Shame on you, ABC.
