    Crazy. I love Thursday night games. This was the first Thurday night I've seen in a while that was kinda boring. It was still a close game tho. It was just messy.

    Last year, all the Thursday night games were fucking good. Not just good. Fucking good.

    I may be in the the minority here, but I love Thursday night football. I get the chance to watch another game early in the week. More football is always better. Plus, its a game I probably wouldnt have gotten a chance to watch had it been on Sunday.

    I hate Cablevision for not carrying the NFL Network, and for turning the Knicks into a non-entity on the NY sports landscape. Fire them!

    The Jets did it in New England and now they get to try in Canada.

    He means there are two days in between without NFL games: Tuesday and Wednesday.

    You can say it that way, or you can say there are almost three days in between the Monday and Thursday games.

    Before November, there's Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday without NFL. Five consecutive days with no NFL games on.

    I like having a game on any night. Last night was kind of tough because the Devils and Rutgers were both playing, but I caught the end.

    I hate that they are only broadcast locally and on the NFL network.

    I agree with the OP. Over exposure ruins everything. I dont need MOnday night and Thursday night and then teh saturdays when they start.

    as far as the NFL network goes. Its a complete disaster of a network. The quality of the signal sucks, the announcers suck, the daytime prgramming sucks. I like football better than baseball but the MLB network makes the NFL network look like fucking channel 9. Its a complete disgrace.

    Wow, I disagree with every single word you wrote. I love the NFL Network and the Thursday night game, put Chicago at San Francisco as part of the regular NFL Sunday and it's a buried 4pm game. Even with the Sunday Ticket I'd probably catch three plays from it, this week with a home Jet game maybe not even that.

    I agree with the first part, but I like NFL network because they re-air classic NFL games and top 10s, plus Rich Eisen is cool even if no one else is.

    Rolling highlights all Sunday night, NFL all week and all year, and I don't have to sit through EPSN hype and NASCAR news to suffer through Chris Berman mutilating the NFL stuff. I'll take it. :up:

    Having matches every day of the week would make Fantasy Football a bit tricky!

    I with the majority here, the more football the better. The period from Tuesday to Saturday without NFL football is a huge void for me personally. Thursday night football is a wonderful thing every November.
    I'm suprised that my sanity is still intact after every off-season.

    Rich Eisen is the man. You can put Rich Eisen into any TV show and it's going to be an instant classic.

    I agree witht he OP.

    In the UK all soccer matches used to get played on a Saturday afternoon.

    Then to fit in with TV schedules and get more money they started showing some games on Sunday, then it was about 1/3 of the games, then you got games on a Monday, mid-week games, at any one time there was some sort of game on somewhere so that before long you had no real clue as to who was playing what when there was no "ok its Saturday afternoon lets check all the scores" moment because more than half the decent teams were playing on Sunday to make more tv money.

    A lot of soccer fans I know are sick of it and there is almost total saturation - there is alot to be said for rationing the games and keeping it a once a week "special" occassion - the more there is the less you tend to appreciate it.

    But they play until May and there are leagues all over Europe and the world, so you can get saturated with soccer or watch it any time you want. The NFL is the only league of its kind and it's over in four months.
