So You're Telling Me

I'm telling you, they make the schedules months in advance.

So are you saying around week 8 or 9, the nfl should just move the "good" matchups to primetime. If so, I hate that idea.

They do this. It's called flex scheduling.

Adjusting the kickoff time is far different from adjusting the day of the game.

So a better game would have been between to good small market teams like Green Bay and the Indianapolis Colts?

What is your recommendation? They cannot flex Thanksgiving day games like a regular Sunday.

I'm sure the clown is talking as if this were a Sunday game. Can't possibly be dumb enough to think they would move a Sunday game to a Thursday.

AND Thanksgiving.

I mean, you're a tard if you don't.

If you wanted to go to the Giants-Redskins yesterday it was cheap. Saw something about it on Fox Business and went to Stub Hub. Standing room tickets were $7. Seats in upper deck were $10. If you wanted to fork out a bit more you could have had seats on the 25 in level 2((club equivalent) for $38.44 each. For $78 you could have sat between 20s in field level seats.

Cowboy tickets weren’t quite as cheap but about 40% of their “ normal” aftermarket prices. Ticket prices have cratered.

The networks have to keep SOME good games on Sundays for the price they pay too

That a game like the Giants game last night would pull in more viewers than a game between two really good small market teams.

So you're telling me you think, say, Jags-Saints would have gotten better ratings than Giants-Redskins?
