NFL Considers Adding More Thursday Games

According to Matthew Futterman and Shalini Ramachandran of the Wall Street Journal, the NFL is considering adding more Thursday night games to its current slate of 13 televised by NFL Network.

Per the report, the league could stage some Thursday night doubleheaders, with games being televised on networks other than the league-owned broadcast operation.

ICECOLD's Take: They need to expand the team rosters if they're going to do this

 

Ugh no.

 

Player Safety. lol...

 

Doesn't every team in the league play a Thurday game already?
NFL network airs 13. NBC has the season kickoff on Thursday. Fox and CBS have a game on Thanksgiving. So that is 16 games on Thursdays. Are they going to have some teams play more than one game on Thursday if they do this?

 

The NFL seems to do everything we don't want then to do. They even do the opposite of what we want.

 

Thanksgiving is one thing but one Thursday game a week is just fine. Just another example of Goodell trying to fix something that is not broken.

 

Trying to get more games on TV to get more of that TV money in their pocket...while risking player safety.

As usual...

$$$$$$$ >>>>>>>>>> Player Safety.

 

The players are not a fan of playing on Thursday nights with the way it is right now.

 

1 game is plenty.

 

There won't be much of a product to get that TV money when the teams can barely field a complete team with all the increase in injuries

 

It's already a lesser product.
