Of course I’m speaking of Thursday Night Football. Originally it was a bad idea and it has turned out to be 39 shades of awful. Players aren’t given enough time to rest and recover and coaches aren’t given enough time to game plan.
TNF started in 2006 only on the NFL Network. CBS came onboard in 2014, as did NBC two years later.
Yet, three networks supplied bids for TNF. NBC and CBS, which both broadcasted games this past year, in addition to FOX. I’ve come to the realization that games on Thursdays aren’t going away anytime soon.
