If the NFL really cared about the players as they say, there would be no TNF, which forces players to put their bodies on their he line a mere four days after taking a beating during the previous Sunday game.
As for TNF being streamed, I don’t know what the NFL is thinking. Everyone doesn’t have streaming (let alone the internet) and so it cuts a large segment of the fan base (and potential fan base) out of viewership. And for someone like me who does have streaming capability, I am forced to move my firestick around to whichever television in my house that I would like the game to be on and I can’t have it on multiple televisions as I would like so that I can move around the house. The TNF product is so bad that I’ve barely watched this season, and I am an avid NFL fan/watcher.
You are in the minority. If people stream, they have all TVs ready to go. My 97 yr old grandmother is streaming.
I agree with Robert about the unwise of scheduling of the games but it is all about the money. That is obvious. I am a fan and also a former athlete, coach, and referee. So, I love the game as much as anyone and I have two observations: 1) The product may well be overexposed and this might ultimately backfire on the NFL. I had the opportunity to talk with an NFL owner a coupkle of years ago and I shared my opinion that with games on Sun, Mon, Thurs and now being explored for Friday night and playoff games on Saturdays, it has gotten ridiculous. Seems like they want a game each day of the week. I told him they should stick to Sun and Mon night and ditch the rest. Let H.S. games have Friday nights and the colleges alone should have Saturdays – why compete? 2) To the point of wear and tear and the care of the health of the athlete, the NFL philosophy does not take into account the welfare of the players. If they did, they would not have the current schedule and would also reduce pre-season games or eliminate them just as they got rid of the Pro Bowl. More is not always better …
