The Derby goes off around 6:45pm

Should have been on noon on NBC or USA today at 2:30.

I'm just saying its a shame due to the bad weather in PA/NJ/NY
NBC is not going to pre-empt its narcissistically long Kentucky Derby pregame for the USFL (it's event television—four hours of lead-up and "who are you wearing?" for a two-minute race, and that's the way it's always been)... and USA isn't really getting the ratings to justify carrying it.
All true - just saying its a shame with crappy NE weather

NBC was going to move an established entity like the Kentucky Derby for an upstart league like the USFL. That wasn't going to happen.
