Thursday Night Football expanding
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...740-sf20097740

NEW YORK -- The National Football League will expand Thursday Night Football in 2016 and 2017, continuing its partnership with CBS while also adding NBC as a partner, it was announced today by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Leslie Moonves, President and CEO, CBS Corp., and Steve Burke, CEO, NBC Universal.

Both CBS and NBC will broadcast five Thursday Night Football games, growing the package to 10 broadcast games in 2016 and 2017 from eight in 2014 and 2015. All Thursday Night Football broadcast games will continue to be simulcast on NFL Network. NFL Network will also exclusively televise an eight-game schedule of regular season games comprised of Thursday Night Football, late-season games on Saturday, and additional games to be determined.

Both CBS and NBC will produce Thursday Night Football with their lead broadcasters and production teams, and both will contribute to the production of Thursday Night Football exclusively on NFL Network. CBS and NFL Network will televise the first half of the Thursday Night Football schedule with NBC and NFL Network televising the second half.

Now put MNF back on ABC and maybe the NFL isn't quite as greedy as I thought.

Maybe.

The best football is when two teams with their best players play a prepared game. Given the injury issues, it's amazing that the nfl wants to push more short rest games. Players with injuries who often can't heal a full week, two teams with short prep time, enormous home field advantage for the home team. But hey, the nfl makes a few more quick bucks.

It doesn't matter anymore. The NFL that we know and love is now dead.

Almost all the games on Thursday Night football the last two season have been divisional games. Never understood the thinking behind that.

This. Especially given how shorty of games they were all year it's hard to see. Must be a lot of money.

Less prep time required. Should always be an important game.

I presume they mean CBS will get the first five games; NBC will get the second 5 games.

Since the match ups on Thursdays usually seem to be poor, I figured it was a way for Roger to try to boost ratings of the low end games... By putting them on a weeknight when no other games compete with them.

Maybe it doesn't make sense to waste a national audience on a poor game but I guess it could be one theory to explain why it seems to be Browns and Titans or some other trash a lot of the time
