Reply #7: Yep. Really, here's documentation.

Seriously, this is something I have observed in the past week.

1. NFL Network launches on November 4th 2004. Election day.

Here's the link and a lil' tidbit...

Shrub's re-selection/NFL Network Kickoff Date

It's official!
NFL Network, the first 24-hour, seven-day-a-week cable and satellite television network dedicated solely to the NFL, will launch at 8 p.m. ET on Election Day

2. Shrub and Tagliabue

The group spent 20 minutes in the Oval Office chatting about the upcoming season, the kickoff event in Washington D.C. that will take place on Sept. 4 and the Jets-Redskins matchup that will immediately follow the concert.

Before the meeting concluded, President Bush was joined by Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Powell, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice and Chief of Staff Andy Card. The President thanked the Commissioner and owners for using the concert event on the Mall in Washington D.C. as an opportunity to salute the troops.

Ahem. I guess Shrub wants to identify with his 'so-called'-voter base.
