If the only thing that's more important to you than the NFL is the NFL on TV, you've got some adjusting to do.

Most importantly, Monday night is now Sunday night -- and yet Monday night is still Monday night, too.

John Madden and Al Michaels will be doing Sunday night games on NBC. "Monday Night Football" moves to ESPN, with Mike Tirico, Joe Theismann and The Post's Tony Kornheiser.

Seems simple enough. You can handle that. Preseason has prepared you well. But are you ready for some flex scheduling?

That starts Week 10 (Nov. 12 to the Gregorians among us) and will ensure that the Sunday night marquee matchup won't be of the canine variety. The matchups will be announced 12 days in advance and only Sunday night games will be affected. CBS and Fox will be able to protect five games during the seven weeks of flexible scheduling, but no more than one game per week.
