Save the date: turning chaos into the NFL schedule is no simple task

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 16:29:06 GMT

Have you ever wondered who decides where the 49ers play their season-opening game?Or why they won’t face division rival Seattle until Week 12 this season, or how the Red and Gold play multiple games on the East Coast back-to-back, allowing the team to stay out East for the week in between?It’s all thanks to a team of people at the NFL offices who spend months building out the perfect schedule, trying to create as many appealing matchups as possible while also trying to keep all 32 teams and fans as happy as possible.For years, the NFL schedule was created by hand. Tags with team names were plotted — and re-plotted — across a massive wooden board as each week’s matchups were determined.

The former president also has been charged in Georgia in a scheme to subvert the will of voters who elected Democrat Joe Biden instead of giving Trump a second term.“I spent the majority of my career as a prosecutor,” said Harris, who served as California’s attorney general before moving to Washington as a U.S. senator. “I believe that people should be held accountable und...
