It’s a special time of year folks. No I’m not talking about Thanksgiving, which is really a whole lot of buildup for turkey, stuffing, gravy, beer, watching the Lions lose, and napping (although all of those things are good too). No, I’m talking about that magical time of year when the NFL thinks games on Sunday and Monday aren’t enough and decide that they’ll throw in Thursdays for good measure.
Tonight the Bears and 49ers kicked off the NFL’s Thursday Night Football schedule, and even though I have no interest in either team (I benched Cutler in fantasy this week in favor of Favre against Detroit, for all of you who probably don’t give a shit), it’s still nice to have something to watch tonight along with the Bruins as well as NBC’s Comedy lineup and It’s Always Sunny. Thursdays are just jammed packed. The League‘s on right now too, not sure if I’ll check that out though.
TNF is just another example of how the NFL just gets it when it comes to scheduling. Even if it’s just a reason to get the NFL Network mixed in, and even if the commentating is a little lackluster, TNF is something we all can enjoy.
Unless you don’t get NFL Network still. Which just makes this post useless for you and I apologize.
