Giants/Dolphins at Wembley - what's the difference?

[ixnay]

The time difference, that is?

Air time on Fox is 1:00p U.S. Eastern time. D.S.T. doesn't end in the U.S. until November 4, but hasn't it already ended in the U.K. and the other E.U. countries, making kickoff time 7:00p in London? IIRC the British Isles are 5 time zones east of North America's Eastern Time Zone.

I don't know about England, but I'm guessing it ends on Sunday because a friend in Portugal said his clock is going back this weekend. Eastern Daylight Time is four hours behind GMT, 5 hours during the winter.

Anyways, with the Dolphins as bad as they are, who outside of the Giants fans will care?

Eastern Daylight Time is four hours behind GMT, 5 hours during the winter.

You're right, so if the U.K. is "falling back" tomorrow, game time would be 5:00p GMT. My bad.

if the U.K. is "falling back" tomorrow, game time would be 5:00p GMT.

And tomorrow was supposed to be when the US goes back as well, until the DST laws were revised last year. I'm unsure if Canada adopted the same law or not.

They did. Mexico didn't.

I am thinking this will be the first NFL game in the new stadium?

They did. Mexico didn't.

I thought Mexico didn't observe DST?

They do. They just turned their clocks back today (Sunday), instead of next Sunday as it is for the U.S. and Canada.

Other than the time difference, not much really. The Dolphins were as impotent over there as they are here...The Giants over rated. (The Third Coming of the Son of God, Eli Manning "throws" for 52 yards....don't know what that translates to in metric..)

The turf is obviously not used to 300 lb men thrashing about, as chunks the size of Howard Cosells toupee were coming up seemingly on every play.

Quite frankly, the stinker of a game the Brits got was partial revenge for inflicting the over the hill oft injured David Beckham upon us for about a few million dollars per minute of playing time...

*I apologize if you don't know who Howard Cosell and David Beckham are..youre online, look 'em up....

Most of Mexico does. Sonora doesn't, and for the same reasons as Arizona. Plus, Sonora's economy is so heavily tied to Arizona, it just makes sense not to use DST. BTW, I'm speaking of their legal economy; their "other" economy is also heavily tied to Arizona, in fact, moreso.
