   Are you sure?  It looked more like 8:08 to me.  Could it be different   
   in different (EDT time zone) cities?

   When I heard about sub-channels a decade ago, my first thought was   
   that when football runs over, either the game or the show it's   
   stepping on could be moved to a different sub-channel.  But apparently   
   they never use them for that.   
      
   Also, how can it be that after all these decades of football, they   
   don't know how long games typically are, and allocate enough time   
   for them?   
      
   Would it be too much to ask that they put the actual start time on   
   a chyron and/or on their website, rather than making us sit through   
   endless ads and boring football-related stuff?   
      
   Or maybe they could move the entire Simpsons season forward a few   
   months so that it doesn't overlap with football season?  So what if   
   that means it continues way into the summer?   
      
   Would it help if we all got together and wrote to the network that any   
   ad we see when The Simpsons starts late, we will boycott and write to   
   the advertiser saying that we were doing so and why?
