[edit] NFL - Bye week
They're completely unnecessary. I'll be removing them. --Howard the Duck 05:10, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think they're unnecessary at all. They provide a quick answer to the question of, "Who is Cleveland playing this week?" when the answer is "No one." Teams only have one bye week during the season, and I think by a couple of weeks from now every team will have had its bye week. -- Mwalcoff 01:30, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

- Bye weeks in the NFL are different, since in the NFL, you expect every team to play every week, usually on Sunday. The only exception is a single bye week for each team. The question with an NBA team is, "Do the Cavs play today?" whereas the question with an NFL team is "Who do the Browns play this week?" -- Mwalcoff 02:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

- If they're not on the list, that means they're not playing. I'm even betting Cleveland papers won't have a report on the Browns' bye week per se (what would a report about a bye week look line? "Cleveland is resting since it's their bye week. - <reporter's byline>"), except when something extraordinary happens, like an injury or an achievement. --Howard the Duck 02:59, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

- Actually, the Cleveland paper (there's only one) has multiple articles on the Browns every day during the season. Live in Cleveland, you'll understand. Anyway, U.S. newspapers generally do list byes when they list the weekly NFL schedule, as does the NFL's website. -- Mwalcoff 23:32, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

- Yeah, but Wikipedia isn't news or NFL.com. Although this portal looks like it. However it still doesn't make sense to list events which aren't really events. For example, European soccer leagues play every weekend. Would "byes" be added here (for example, during UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying?) You may argue NFL teams have 16 games while Euro teams have twice the amount, but it has the same effect: they're supposed to play every week. --Howard the Duck 09:28, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] October
Um, unless October now has more than 31 days, can we shift all the October stuff into its own page and leave the November stuff here? Megarockman 20:17, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
