(Almost) a full season of Thursday Night Football

    I couldn't disagree more. The NFL is incredibly boring to me.

    I would rather watch college any day of the week.

    I only watch NFL games during the playoffs or if my favorite team is involved. Most of the reason I watch the playoffs is so I can be part of the discussion at work.

    I think they should avoid Friday and Saturday games, which they always have unless the college season is over or if it's a holiday.

    Well, bodie, you can watch college almost any day of the week, so knock yourself out.

    I usually do, if I am not working.

    I would rather watch Toledo-Kent State than a 9-6 NFL game.

    College football is working on that all by itself.

    You're not alone. There are probably 17-20 Americans who feel the same way. Fight the power!

    Isn't there a law that prohibits NFL games on Saturday during CFB season?

    I was watching an old clip on Youtube and someone there mentioned it. Not sure if it's still in effect or not.

    I don't have a problem at all with them making sure every team plays in prime time at least once during the season.

    You have 16 Sunday night games and the Thursday night opener.

    You have 16 Monday night games.

    You have 13 NFL Network Thursday night games.

    Let's assume there are three holiday prime time games.

    You should definitely be able to get every team at least one game.

    Screw college football. It doesn't have proprietorship over Thursday night.

    I would hope, unless there's a weather emergency, they'd avoid games on Friday nights so as not to conflict with high schools. It's bad enough when the major college in the area is induced to play at least one Friday game a year by the WWL.

    With no Thursday night college game, Virginia Tech may totally fall off the radar screen ... halleujah!
