the Wall Street Journal reported this week that
Thursday Night Football might at another gain
another game amazingly a.m.
we have seen the incredibly poor play Dave
on every Thursday night yeah I believe the
I I don't remember who wrote this very story but
here's what they said: through five weeks the 2013 games have averaged 5.1
American household rating a 28 percent increase over last year 8.1 million
viewers
27 percent increase over last year and weeks 6
between the winless Giants and Chicago births approximately 1.7 million more
people watch that
then the ALDS between the Tigers and AIDS according to Nielsen
ratings now anna belle PR guy tweeted Brian McCarthy wondering where the idea
of Thursday night doubleheader came from
so are we we haven't considered and Greg gala also said
haven't even discussed it so let me just throw this out there that are getting
more quote from a cab or the
should they add a second Thursday Night Football game
now add I don't see any reason for them to do it I think
the players commended players don't like playing his games
name their site with our from Sunday you know they played five days ago
they're not prepared for the team that they're gonna be playing they haven't
have proper time to
you know what film do all that Tom you know if they want ratings the opposition
but she games on
I mean like I like they're shocked that people aren't as interested in watching
the bills play the
the Browns then you know any another camp by the way those
ratings look perfectly good to me yeah for now
I mean I think they argue would be is that it's just a cash cow for the NFL
exits
broadcast on the NFL Network yeah obviously I don't disagree with that
they're going to do
anything in order to maximize profit here's the other thing that they need to
take into consideration that I'm sure they are but they just ignore
you the fact that a lot of players are of short weeks yeah
and according to Jay Cutler he said both teams ran more basic at the devil's
schemes because the short week
yeah Cutler also said on Thursday as the day his body is quote just starting to
feel a little better
i mean they're trying to talk about how they want to
lower the rate of CT e they want to try to lower concussions as much as they can
they started 44 this year
how exactly do they do that whether adding
another NFL game on a Thursday night
a short week yeah and guys aren't even feeling better until Friday yeah I mean
I mean they don't
and its kinda a
it's strange to see the Roger Goodell's kinda firmly entrenched himself that
you're my legacy is going to be
player safety and other stuff but he knows what he's talking about extending
the season 18 games
sign up link to Thursday night games its is kinda
you know you can't have it both ways so were interesting quote and we gotta wrap
up here Robert Meacham said you can't really just dig into practice like you
would if it was a normal week
it's hard physically because he got to get your body back for are ready for a
quick week
there a lotta bumps and bruises that fans and other people just don't see
they don't understand
what we have to do to get through to get to that game so it's
its amazing to hear this order stuff from NFL players
talking about a short week and how hard it is on their body so the fact that
they would wanna add
14 now on short weeks amazes as I when when only gonna
what like wood how do you do that from a time perspective
games and a leg midnight as is yeah you have a good game and started
one 2 p.m. Pacific time some minor I don't know
I yeah I don't know I don't get it and I don't think it'll happen on
no I again this is just a rumor book we're talking
hypothetically a The Wall Street Journal saying this that they might add another
game pack
we are obviously an agreement that it would be bad idea it would be a bad idea
ok
