There's a rule about having to wear team gear for post game interviews, Tom Brady. I used to think it was stupid.

Ugh.

The NFL may add additional Thursday night games in the future, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

The Wall Street Journal, citing a person familiar with the league's strategy, reported Tuesday that the league is weighing selling a second slate of Thursday games to a media outlet to pair with its existing 13-game slate on NFL Network.

The league isn't discussing specific terms with any media outlets, nor have any formal offers been exchanged, according to the report. But the person told the Wall Street Journal the NFL is disappointed the Thursday night games on NFL Network haven't earned better ratings.

The league's prevailing thought, according to the report, is that frequent Thursday doubleheaders could generate more interest.

Another option reportedly includes moving some Thursday night games from NFL Network to another outlet.

The NFL also won't limit itself to national cable sports networks as potential partners, and will consider online outlets, including Netflix Inc. and Google Inc., the person told the Wall Street Journal.

lol no chance they put games on Netflix, why even waste time typing that.

You're right that it would be a stretch to think they'd start with live games on a Netflix outlet, if only because of the subscriber distribution. That said, it would be cool if they'd foray into those waters by putting game archives on there.

Roger Goodell - ruining the NFL one day at a time.

Thursday games where guys struggle to be recovered enough to play? Let's add more!
Get wound up about concussions and player safety? Let's go with 18 games!

I think it's hilarious, but at the same time if I'm either a Giants fan, player, coach, gm, or owner, I'm pretty furious that these 2 are publicly making light of this shtein. 

Also, it's safe to say that both of them suck at fantasy football.

the thursday night stuff is bs according to the nfl

ratings are actually pretty good all things considered. the matchups arent amazing, nfl network isnt in that many homes, yet the games can clear 8-10 mil with ease. every other sport would kill a mexican for those numbers

[Sgt PSN]

The NFL is by far the most successful professional sports league in the country.  The TNF game between inconsistent Chicago and winless NYG drew nearly 2mil more viewers than the Bos/Det playoff game, so it's pretty laughable when the league even indicates that they feel the need to continue growing their brand. 

That'd be like Jeter saying that he needs more strange.
