re: Drew Brees blasts Thursday NFL games after several Saints suffer injuries

Exactly right... if it didn't matter, I'd work out Mon, Tues, Wed, then start over again Thurs, Fri, Sat and only take Sunday off. It's self-evident that this is bad for the players bodies. And don't come at me with "oh but they make millions so frick them..." This isn't about me feeling sorry for the players, this is about me wanting my team fielding healthy, rested players in crucial division games.
