CNN suspends Martin for Super Bowl tweets
NEW YORK, Oct. 13 (UPI) -- The possibility of the Philadelphia Phillies playing in the World Series led the NFL on Tuesday to change the starting times of two Nov. 1 games.
If the Phillies defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series, Game 4 of the World Series would be in Philadelphia the evening of Nov. 1 -- the same date the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles are scheduled to have a home game against the New York Giants.
The Phillies and Eagles play in separate stadiums but the facilities are next to each other and share a parking lot so the NFL moved the Eagles-Giants game from a 4:15 P.M. EST start to a 1 p.m. EST kickoff.
The NFL also moved the start of the Minnesota Vikings-at-Green Bay Packers game from 1 p.m. EST to 4:15 p.m. EST. That game marks the return of quarterback Brett Favre to Green Bay's Lambeau Field.
All the games involved are to be broadcast on the Fox television network.
