The Astros have postponed their games tonight and tomorrow night with the Cubs. The Comets have postponed their game tonight with Sacramento – the email they sent to season ticket holder suggested it might be canceled altogether, which is my guess. Various area colleges have rescheduled, relocated, or canceled their football games this weekend. And now the Texans have moved their home opener to Monday night at 7:30.
The game will be televised on local CBS stations in the primary and secondary team markets: Houston, Beaumont-Port Arthur and Bryan.
The Monday night game between the Eagles and Cowboys at Texas Stadium will be shown at its regular time on ESPN.
The NFL announced late this afternoon that, in conjunction with the Texans and Ravens, the game should be postponed for a day to help the city deal with the fallout from the hurricane that’s expected to make landfall early Saturday morning.
I second what Stephanie says: If the city is in good enough shape to allow this to happen, we should all be grateful.
