To tack onto the London games, no one wants to watch the NFL from 7am to 10pm on Sunday, and that’s what is happening, so people are just cherry picking their favorite team and then saying fuck it to the rest. I can’t remember the last time I watched a primetime/London game my team wasn’t involved in.
I’m a huge NFL fan, and I agree. Give Thursday back to college football. Maybe 2-3 games at the end of the season like it used to be, but these games every week are poor quality and dangerous for the players.
I kinda agree. If there was a game on during the week, chances are I’ll at least tune in for a bit (or, more likely, bars will tune in) and therefore have my retinas exposed to advertising that otherwise wouldn’t have been seen. Football being such a short season, every game really does matter, so I’d like to see at…
Nope, didn’t watch it. There’s been a bunch of lame matchups on Thursday night too. At least on Sunday, you can sometimes switch networks and get a different game to watch.
I’m sorry, are you saying that your 10 year old son is a Millennial?? Depending on how old you were when he was born, it is more likely that you are a Millennial. The widest, most generous definition of the Millennial (formerly Gen-Y) generation is people born from 1980-2000, though it can be an even smaller time…
The average MLB game is a little over three hours. It was 3:05 at the beginning of the season. The average NFL broadcast is 3:12. And there are probably more down moments in an NFL game.
I’m obviously in the minority here, but I was able to witness both my hometown and favorite team (the Ravens) put the beatdown on the Dolphins to keep their season alive (though watching Flacco almost get killed wasn’t fun), and the week before that, the team of my current city of residence (Eagles) beat Cam Newton…
Your 10 year old is not a millennial. We’re like fucking 30 now dude.
It really doesn’t bother me having games on Thursdays. In fact, I’d be fine with them spreading all the games throughout the Thursday-Monday stretch. There are plenty of times when I’m busy on Sundays in the middle of the day, and thus miss the vast majority of football action.
It’s interesting that that’s what you chose to use for an example of why it’s bad for Incognito to be the voice of reason.
If we learned anything from the anthem protests, it’s that the players - when they act collectively, or even appear that they might act collectively - have a shitload more leverage over the owners than they’ve ever tried to exert.
For what it’s worth I think MLB would be better off with a 100 game schedule, and the NBA with a 60 game schedule. They would lose too much money, so it’ll never happen, but it gives more of a breather for the fans and every game is much more important. With a 100 game baseball schedule, every loss hurts. Badly. Every…
Back in the day, Monday Night Football was invented to help gamblers recover from a disastrous Sunday. In a similar vein, Thursday Night Football was invented to cram even more NFL down the throats of people who were uncomfortably overstuffed with the whole goddamn enterprise and had no idea how to say ‘no’.
The league makes money off it, and that’s all they care about anyway.
I’m pretty sure we’ve seen gambits like this in the past. It’s a lot like the Jalopnik readers that swear they’ll buy the new ____ _______ if they ship it with a hatchback and a 3rd pedal. A few of the mouthbreathing idiots may order a limp, flavorless pie, but the rest of them will be too busy on Twitter going after…
you want to get to the bottom of this?
Trump supporters and racists are the ones who deserve that stuff so they’re welcome to it.
just a simple man eatin’ stuffed crust and thinkin’ ‘bout his daughter’s tatas
Sales for Papa John’s were down pre kneeling, so this might be a desperate attempt to ignite sales by pandering to Trump supporters/racists.
