NFL Week 16 -- Football overload

Yes, I get the TBA, but it still sucks not having any idea when the game is going to be. At least as a season ticket holder, there was no home game this time during that window. So it is just conflict on how or where I want to watch everything.

For most though, not like it isn't a busy time of year. I actually have often had fun, even when the Broncos stink, of having a football game as part of the holiday festivities. But when you don't know if it is Saturday or Sunday it is impossible to really plan. They have played on Saturday forever, but it used to be scheduled.

Makes sense on the veto power.

 

College football has been doing this for DECADES.

 

College football has, yes, but it's flexing between times on the same day. There is no flexing a game from a Saturday back to another day. The weekday games are known far in advance and are basically untouchable. (At least from my knowledge of the ACC, I might be wrong on other leagues.)

 

Listen pal I don't come to a message board for sports journalists to have my grammar corrected, OK?

 

Not entirely true. I can remember when Thursday night games first got popular (and then why the NFL wanted them) games were moved. I think they had to give 12 days of notice or something. I don't think this is a thing anymore, but not sure. And I do think they have fixed it in most TV contracts where they announce the national schedules at the beginning of the year, but there was a time where games could be moved for TV, and that included days.

Honestly, this has probably mostly been fixed. Maybe something where fans were actually listened to? I think it is probably a pain for college programs too, much more so than NFL teams.

 

Leaving aside the Christmas Day game issue for this year, I don’t understand why the league doesn’t make every Thursday game between 2 teams coming off of byes. I guess with the 3 Thanksgiving games, it may be impossible, but it could be done for the vast majority of games

 

Oops. I rescind my previous statement. Another member of his business (Home Depot) is the evil one.

 

Are we still waiting to see which game is being flexed to SNF?

 

You know what you're in fer when you come here.

 

I was assured there would be no grammer.
