(Reuters) - American football fans can rest easy: President Barack Obama's nationally televised jobs speech to Congress will not conflict with the season-opening NFL game between the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints.
Obama agreed late on Wednesday to move his jobs address to a joint session of Congress back by a night from September 7 to September 8 to avoid overlapping with a debate by Republican presidential candidates on the first night.

If he stops talking in a timely manner then his speech will not conflict with the game. But the game will conflict with the customary televised opposition statemets in reply to the speech.
To be consistant, he really ought to follow it up with his parliamentary draftsman producing explicit legislation and with a formal budget, all designed to implement the contents of the Speech From the Throne.
;)
"Spech From the Throne" should have read "Speech From the Throne".
Most pro-football fans have one hand on their crotch and the other hand in a bowl of potato chips. They actually need 3 hands, one more to hold in their gut so they can buckle their size 54 pants.
Ooh, you are very judgemental, my FRiend, standby for flaming...
Who is this Hugh guy?!?!?!
Do you mean Huge?
Nevermind!
On the other hand, they may remember very little of the game because they had already finished off a few by the time hussein finished.
Perhaps he can be bumped back to 1 AM - right after the farm report.
Good lord ... the drinking game we could have with this! I shudder to think of what abuse my liver might need to absorb.
A shot of scotch everytime theone says "I"? Tanked before kickoff. Way before kickoff...
Maybe he should set up his teleprompter at the US Open so that his back and forth head movement fits right in with the spectators watching the tennis matches.
Yep, 1 a.m. works for me. It will be opposite the infomercials for how to buy real estate with no money down, the infomercials for Time-Life CD rock and roll hits of the ‘50s and ‘60s, and the infomercials for DVDs of the Dean Martin celebrity roasts.
The sham-wow man may get bumped, but he’s dead any way and won’t care.
A 45 minute mooning would be more appropriate.
On top of that, the NFL had planned a Kid Rock performance and the introduction of an NFL Legends team during the pregame show.
Granted, Kid Rock isn’t a big draw, but I’d take a Sinead O’Connor boyfriend audition over obama’s speech.
