It sucks for those with the NFL network as well since the NFL network broadcast sucks ass compared to all the other stations that carry the NFL.

lame

fantasy lineups will be shafted constantly for those who don't realize their player is starting 3 days earlier.

stupid pathetic move.

not only is this annoying for fantasy football, but as cutt pointed out, NFL Network SUCKS!

THAT, and i can PAY for the NFL Network on my Comcast, but due to their beef with NFLN the games are STILL blacked out! angry

I don't hate this.

The NFL Network has a really low production value, but for a lot of out of town NFL fans the prime time games are the
only ones that they can watch their favorite team without a $400 Sunday Ticket package.

edit:

You didn't post it, but this same announcement also said that all teams will get at least 1 primetime game now because of this.

I have the NFL network but I still do not like this for a few reasons. If there is a free local feed provided for the home areas, then ok. If not, BS! for people who do not have NFL.



This could also be incentive for NFL to pull out of basic/expanded cable package offerings and require we pay extra for it, or even cable providers to f us over for more for it. Then the above becomes even more critical. The NFL should not allow this if this happens.



We shall see.

I don't watch Sunday or Monday football why would I want another night. I hope they make the NFL Network a premium channel so that I don't have to pay for it due to what tier I have.

This is dumb because Thursday is the prime Sitcom night, all the best shows are always on Thursday night.

Fantasy football should never be a consideration when it comes to real football.

DVR

And really... a lot of those sitcoms and the NFL have two completely different viewer bases.

I keep waiting on them to attack Saturdays more.

I know that Saturday is traditionally college football... but it seems like an untapped market for the NFL to me.

Don't Thursday night games basically cut the rest/practice of each team in half? Then you get 10 days of rest after one of them right?

They wont play Saturday nights because of College football. Friday nights would be better though than Thursdays... as long as the games werent on the NFL network.

I like football but I doubt I am the only fan that would just stop watching if they went a pay to watch route.

I could watch the NFL network every Thursday night game. But I wouldn't have it any other time. Maybe i'm just lucky?

The Thursday night college games will probably get better numbers than the NFL game.
