I'm guessing that ship has sailed. I wish the NFL would give up on the Thursday night game. The games in CBS's package are not destination viewing for anyone who's team isn't involved, and the package concludes so early in the season that none of the games carry any kind of playoff ramifications. And as far as NFL Network goes - I don't even know where it is on my channel lineup, and I suspect that's going to be the case for all but the most die-hard football fan. (The same could be said for MLB Net, but I'm trying to stay on topic here.) The ratings are terrible, the players hate it because it often means playing on very little rest, I can't imagine they're filling the stadiums on Thursday nights...who does it actually benefit?
