NFL | Looking to add a third Thanksgiving Day game and a new TV package
Fri, 25 Nov 2005 20:37:37 -0800
Barry Horn, of the Dallas Morning News, reports beginning next season, the NFL is set to add a third game to their Thanksgiving Day schedule. Having already cooked up deals with CBS, ESPN, Fox, NBC and DirecTV set to begin next year for an average of $3.7 billion annually through 2011, the NFL is looking for another deal. An eight-game, prime time Thursday and Saturday TV package probably will be introduced before the end of the season. The package is expected to kick off Thanksgiving night and end around Christmas.

I think a night game on Thanksgiving gets better ratings than the day games.

Maybe take Detroit out of the yearly debacle? Who wants to watch them lay a giant steamer on the carpet year after year?

I'd vote for that! A late start would be great. Maybe 4:15pm or so would be perfect!

I think that the NFL needs to add an AFC team to that tradition. The leading candidates should be historically great teams like Denver and maybe Miami or even Pittsburgh.

I don't know, watching the Broncos on TV Thursday, and having college games on Friday and Saturday plus a full slate of NFL on Sunday has me a little footballed out right now.
I can't believe, just too much football. That whole Thursday game threw off my weekly schedule.

BITE YOUR TONGUE! There's no such thing as "too much football"...!Booya!
They might as well add a third game. Nobody ever pays attention to the Lions game...
