Yawn. It is late but my fat butt must continue to educate the masses. The NFL could play games any day of the week. They would not be broadcasted on Thursday, Friday or Saturday till the end of the regular season for high school and NCAA football. That is why Arthur B. Modell came up with Monday Night Football. You have Thursday night games and Saturday NFL play-off games after those regular season games end. I would not have made the statement if I did not know what I was talking about. High Schools play on Friday, NCAA plays on Saturday, and the league where they play for pay plays on Sunday. LOL all you want. I know what the heck I'm talking about. It is the LAW. Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 "The law has been interpreted to include the so-called "blackout rules" which protect a home team from competing games broadcast into its home territory on a day when it is playing a game at home. It also, in effect, protects high school football and college football game attendance by blacking out pro football games locally on Friday evenings and Saturdays during those sports' regular seasons."
