perrynoid Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 3 hours ago, vike daddy said: Here’s why Thursday Night Football isn’t going anywhere, anytime soon. According to Sports Business Daily, the winning bid submitted by Fox for the NFL’s Thursday Night Football package is worth $550 million a year. The previous deal saw NBC and CBS share the package, which paid the league $450 million a year the last two years. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/01/31/report-fox-paying-550-million-a-year-for-thursdays/ What I would like to see are the following changes. Cut back one pre-season game, and start the season a week early. Then, have two bye weeks, about 1/3 and 2/3s of the way through the season. These would be staggered of course so all the teams did not have the same weeks off. Then, have two teams coming off a bye week play on Thursday nights.

The NFL won't make these changes now that the they secured a better deal. Only way anything changes is if the players strike and rework the CBA.

wcblack34 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Leslie Frazier as head coach...no fan deserves that. If I'm Irsay, I go completely outside the box ------- PJ FLECK!!! Seriously though, you're already in shambles, take a huge risk. Make a Sean McVay type hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
