01:23 PM ET 03.19 | As Super Bowl champions, the Baltimore Ravens have the honor of hosting the NFL's season opener in 2013. That game is currently scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 5, but the Ravens are facing a scheduling conflict. The Baltimore Orioles are also set to play a home game that night, and Major League Baseball likely wouldn't want the NFL to compete directly with its product. A move to Wednesday, Sept. 4 isn't possible due to Rosh Hashanah, so the Ravens are offering to pay the Orioles to make of for any lost revenue at Camden Yards that night.

Rosh Hashanah? Really? What's next, no games during the month of Ramadan?
C'mon, they play on Thanksgiving, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day and so on.

They can move the Orioles to a day game and the Ravens can pay for a crab feast for all the fans that can still make it to the game!

There may not be any crying in baseball, but apparently there is in football.

antoher reason why they can't move it to weds, is because the orioles are not off that day, they are finishing up a series in cleveland, so you would have all kinds of scheduleing issues, as these games would be in the stretch run, plus the MLB rules this is why you see teams not playing on afternoon, as the rules for get away days, mandate they play an eveinng game after an afternoon game

If the Orioles don't bend, the Ravens will send Ray Lewis across the street and have him slaughter the entire Orioles clubhouse plus the 3,000 fans in attendance.

This is more and more sounding like a Patriots issue. Local Baltimore radio said earlier that Robert Kraft "apparently" wouldn't agree to a Wednesday night game. So the whole "Can't play on a Jewish holiday" is based on Robert Kraft won't play on Wednesday. Solve the problem by finding a different team to play.
