Posted October 20, 200519 yr According to the Herald... Dolphins game is now at 7 p.m. Friday due to the threat of Hurricane Wilma The Dolphins game originally scheduled for Sunday against Kansas City has beenmoved to Friday night at 7 at Dolphins Stadium as South Florida gears up for Hurricane Wilma. An NFL spokesman confirmed the change from in the schedule. TV broadcast information will be announced shortly, the Dolphins and CBS said Thursday afternoon. The game was to be broadcast by CBS. It is unclear what fans who hold tickets but are unable to attend the game following the change will be able to do relative to refunds or rain checks. ??As in the past, we recognize unusual circumstances and will address them appropriately on a case-by-case basis,'' Dolphins Enterprises CEO Joe Bailey said in a statement released by the team. The game was moved ostensibly to allow emergency personnel typically working a home game and fans in South Florida to prepare for Wilma, which is expected to hit Florida sometime Sunday or early Monday. This move marks the third straight year and fifth time in the last five season the Dolphins have changed a contest's date, time or venue. Last season, hurricanes Jeanne and Ivan moved the starting time of Miami's games against Pittsburgh and Tennessee, respectively. Wildfires also forced the move of Miami's game at San Diego to Arizona one day after the original kickoff date. The Dolphins are 3-3 in games that have previously been moved. Moving the game may adversely affect the ability of two key Miami players to recover from injuries. Linebacker Junior Seau (calf/Achilles') and defensive end Jason Taylor (foot) were hoping for the maximum recovery time from their injuries. www.herald.com

October 20, 200519 yr LOL The one game I get up here in Tallahassee is changed and now it's not on nationally. F*cking brilliant.
October 21, 200519 yr It sucks that we're not gonna get the game on TV, but at least I'll find some bootleg radio station on the internet to listen to the game.
October 21, 200519 yr To accommodate the South Florida community in preparing to deal with the approach of Hurricane Wilma, the Miami Dolphins' home game against the Kansas City Chiefs has been rescheduled for Friday, October 21 at 7:00 p.m. ET at Dolphins Stadium, the NFL announced in conjunction with both teams and local authorities. The game originally was scheduled to be played on Sunday, October 23, at 1:00 p.m. ET. CBS will televise the game live to the Miami and Kansas City primary and secondary markets, which are WFOR/Miami, WPEC/West Palm and WINK/Ft. Myers in the Dolphins area and KCTV/Kansas City and WIBW/Topeka in the Chiefs territory. For customers of Sirius Satellite Radio, the game will be available live on Friday at 7:00 p.m. ET on Channel 121 for the Kansas City Chiefs? radio broadcast and Channel 131 for the Miami Dolphins? broadcast. On MiamiDolphins.com, fans can follow Miami Dolphins GameDay Live, or listen to the local radio broadcast of the game via the Field Pass subscription service (NFL.com/fieldpass). [Field Pass is available on a seven-day free trial basis for first-time subscribers.] A delayed-telecast of the Dolphins-Chiefs game will be shown nationally on NFL Network on Sunday, October 23, at a time to be determined. Moving the game to Friday will enable emergency personnel and others in the South Florida community to focus on preparing for the approach of Hurricane Wilma. As previously announced, the schedule of the Hall of Fame celebration that was planned over the coming days has also been changed. The Dan Marino Ring Presentation Ceremony has been moved to halftime of the Dolphins-Atlanta Falcons game to be played on November 6 at 1:00 p.m. In addition, the team?s Orange Carpet Gala to honor all of the Club?s Hall of Famers, which was scheduled for this Saturday, has been moved to Saturday, November 5, at 7:00 p.m. Finally, the Miami Dolphins Hall of Fame Exhibition, featuring the busts of all nine Dolphins Hall of Famers, will be open From Wednesday, October 26 ? Saturday, November 5. ?As in the past, we recognize unusual circumstances and will address them appropriately on a case-by-case basis,? said Dolphins Enterprises CEO Joe Bailey. This is the third straight year and fifth time in the last five seasons that the Dolphins have had to change a contest?s date, time or venue for a variety of reasons Since 1992, the Dolphins have had to alter the date, time or venue of a game six previous times, with this being the seventh, and the Dolphins are 3-3 in such games. Last year, they dropped a 17-7 decision to the Tennessee Titans on Saturday, September 11, at Pro Player Stadium, in a game originally scheduled to be played on Sunday, September 12, but was moved up a day because of the threat of Hurricane Ivan. The Dolphins also lost a 13-3 contest to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, September 26, 2005. That game was moved from a 1:00 p.m. kickoff to a 8:30 p.m. kickoff because of Hurricane Jeanne.
