re: Many NFL Players Want Thursday Games To Disappear

They get paid millions. They should shut up and play when told to play. They are there for the fans' amusement, not what makes them comfortable.

bitter much? it is their career and the nfl is their employer, yes.

The issue is for all the bullshite about player safety they preach, but they still want to add games and cutting their week short with TNF games is intense. Their bodies get beat up on a weekly basis and it takes time for them to recover. If they played sunday, they'd have monday to rest, tuesday to prepare, wednesday flies out for the away team. that's not a good product.
