We all love football, but they shouldn't shove it in our faces constantly.  It's scarcity is a big part as to why it's beloved by so many.

Yup. Thursday games are bad enough. 

[Bobby816]

If you're a die hard football fan there's only no football Tuesday and Wednesday with NCAA games in the mix.

People really cant go 2 days for 4 months with no football?

With all the criticism from current and former player plus the quality (or lack of) of THursday night games I cant see how this happens

The NFL is stupid.  XFL is so much better.

A remarkably horrible idea. The NFL might be greedy enough to do it but you'd think someone in that brain trust would try to save them from themselves.

[Scott Dierking]

How much money do these greedy bastards need? 

They have hurt the ability for "real" fans (people that go to the stadia) to make plans and travel to select games. This will make it worse. That gambling money sure is addictive. 

[Integrity28]

Greedy corporate ghouls give zero ****s about player safety, quality of play, or game integrity.

Worse yet, even the worst XFL uniform is nicer than the current Jets rags.

Terrible idea

Part of what makes football is the demand, it's not baseball, it's not on every day.

Thursday night usually sucks.  Adding Tuesday will be more crap.

Friday is for HS football, which is a big deal in the south and southwest.   Saturday is for college, and the NFL is stupid to compete with that.

[the Claw]

Horrible idea. Greed really is the worst one.

You jest, but I recommend you watch the CFL. It actually is better than the NFL.

[Sperm Edwards]

I suppose with just one game on for the night there will be fewer games where (non-Sunday Ticket subscriber fans) are blocked out on local tv because they don’t live in their favorite teams’ home areas.

It will generate more to the collective revenue share, which will in turn raise the salary cap, which will raise player pay for the same # of games.

I’m beyond against it, because none of the above benefits me personally & I’m a selfish douche who isn’t interested in choosing between sitting in front of the TV 7 days per week and missing football games. Also my Netflix stock will plummet.

As much as I used to love watching football, I rarely watch primetime games due to over-saturation.   It's like eating the same thing for dinner every night, no matter how much you like it, you will get sick of it.  These greedy bastards will kill the golden goose.

The one thing I'll give the NFL credit on is that defense has come back into the picture.

A lot of people (not me) loved that MNF game with (IIRC) the Rams/Chiefs where the score was something like 54-51.  I thought that was a sign of the way the NFL was heading and that it would be the end of the league as we knew it.  Thankfully, defense matters again (though still not enough).

Ugh... Bad move.  I don't even like the Thursday night games.  An NFL football season should be short and intense. Each game being a special events that is waited upon and cherished with energetic zeal.  That goes along with the nature of the game of football itself.  Consider any given single play in a football game.  It is a momentary explosion of power, speed and technical proficiency that is orchestrated by minds that are accounting for thousands of moves and counter moves.  Thousands of moving parts both intellectual and physical. Nothing like it anywhere.  Overexposure would be awful.

Kind of, in that there are more days to place bets, but the # of total games doesn't change.

True.  Lost on Sunday, try to make it up Monday.  Lose again, now they can try to make it up on some crap fest on Tuesday or Wed night.

If you don't go to games you aren't a real fan?

[Warfish]

Pass.

Sundays, with a game on Monday if we have to.

Having a dedicated, once-a-week day for NFL football is a big part of it's appeal for me.

Gambling and Fantasy Football are the biggest reasons for it’s popularity.

[BeaconJet]

I have little interest in going to a Thursday night game, and would have less than zero interest in going to a Tuesday or Wednesday night game. Even Monday nights have lost their luster from what they used to be back in the heyday of MNF. 

And as for watching games on TV, I too like to sit down on Sunday and know that's NFL football day. That sets it apart from MLB, NBA and NHL.
