"Tuesday Night Football?

"Terrible idea," Gov. Rendell said moments before the kickoff of Tuesday night's game between the Eagles and Minnesota Vikings. "Too many people have to get out of work to try to get to this game."

Of course, that's also the case for Monday Night Football. But Rendell has been in a bit of a combative mood with regard to the NFL and its decision to postpone the Eagles' game from Sunday night to Tuesday night.

Rendell kept up his criticism before the game was played.

"I stand by what I said," Rendell said. "People all over the country have been incredibly critical of the NFL's decision."
