[Risen Star]

And Thursday night being flexed is on the horizon.

Wow. Good luck to the people flying into games later in the season if the game day can change.

Would most likely have to schedule your flights and hotels as if you are staying until Tuesday now.

Great for TV, terrible for traveling fans. Tells me which produces more revenue for the league.

Do the fans even matter anymore? I plan on driving to Miami to see that game.

Or even for a local fan....scheduling off from work on a Sunday or Monday evening to attend the game...but finding out later the game day has been switched.

This is all a money motivated move, besides a regular season additional game the only move they have left. I'm in agreement with you all, but that is how they see it.

Just a guess, but I suspect they’ll have at least 2 games on Monday & flex which is the national game.

UHH NO!

At some point there will be a game every night of the week.

As much as I love NFL football I could do without Thursday night games especially now that they’re on prime video.

TV ratings > going to games in person

Welcome to the new NFL.

I hate the Thursday night games. They create problems for player safety and the matchups have been as boring as they come. It’s just blah. The only times I watch it are when the Cowboys play.

It’s all about the media right deals. That’s where the big money is. They will cater to what the networks want.

I seriously wonder if the league would even care if half the fans didn’t show up for games in person. The money now is the TV networks. Fans are becoming window dressing.

I’d be so pissed. I live in Miami so I want to attend that game. I doubt they flex a Cowboys vs Dolphins game though. Unless we’re both undefeated or something like that.

Dallas will have 3 SNF games. And 3 MNF games or at least 2, and a TNF game if not 2. Get prepared.

The NFL made $17 billion in 2021, and it's higher now with the new TV contract. They "only" lost $4 billion of that in 2020, when fan attendance was drastically reduced.

This clearly means??

So, Dallas will be playing on the road the Monday before Thanksgiving? Got it.
