Lions-Vikings the game of the week, as it should. What a world. Also, putting Chargers/Cards on a Monday night only to make it an ESPN+ exclusive is a choice.

America deserves better than Jets-Steelers.

 

That’s a Thursday night game for the hardcores.

 

Counterpoint

 

So’s the London game.

 

There are a couple of devoted Patriots' fans in my regular Sunday foursome, and neither has expressed any desire to miss golf just to watch this one.

 

The league and network disagree. The Steelers are a draw and they can get a New York team in there. You also have the storyline of Rodgers being reunited with Adams as the Jets try to remain relevant and the Steelers try to stay on track for the playoffs.

 

Plus the whole Russ/Justin Fields QB situation.

 

Watching a replay of Bucs-Saints (don't know why).
The p-by-p'er just said it was the Saints' third game in 11 days. If that's true, just another example of The Shield not giving a crap about player health.

 

This Thursday will be. 3 games in 11-12 days is a common occurrence for teams playing on Thursday.
Week 5 - played Monday night
Week 6 - played Sunday
Week 7 - play Thursday

 

Thanks. OK, common disregard for player health. $$$$$
