I remember reading an article about this, there's a whole bunch of cool constraints you can put in. Like for example, I think they make it so the winners of the Super Bowl never play an away game to open up the season, or they're trying to minimize the number of straight away games a team has, or stuff like that.

It's actually a really cool scheduling problem.
Ravens won the Super Bowl to end the 2012 season, then opened the 2013 season in Denver.

Granted, there were many complaints about that, so maybe a new rule was added after that.

That was because the NFL dicked around instead of reserving the date, when the Orioles and Ravens can't have events on the same day due to parking issues, and the Orioles schedule came out with a game that day.

The Chargers have 4 10am games this year, but three of them are in like a 4 week stretch after the bye. I'm cool with it.

@KC week 1
@Houston week 12
@Carolina week 14

The NBA is cool and fun but it was even better when the lockout happened and then you Durant and Lebron picking teams and then playing at a random YMCA. Also, watching Team USA is super fun.

Pretty excited for the Colts to play at 8:30 on a Sunday morning.

Not too excited about them playing the late game on Thanksgiving, by then I'll be passed out or just too tired to care.

I'm going to remember that game for a long time because on a whim a friend and I decided to drive out to the middle of nowhere with a telescope and a $12 boombox to listen to the game, drink, and look at the sky. Managed to see the rings of Saturn with my crappy telescope and that was awesome.
