Two teams with four losses each heading into week 8, it doesn't get much shittier than this. Thursday Night Football is the NFL's version of the participation ribbon. Good teams get to play on Sunday Night and Monday Night, you know, because NBC and ESPN actually give a fuck about ratings for nationally televised games. The NFL though? Money's the bottom line at the player's expense. None of the fucking players like to play on Thursday on a short week during the season. The only exceptions should be opening night and Thanksgiving. Get it back to where it was. But no, the NFL decided to create Thursday Night Football so that each team gets to play at lease one prime time game a year. That's fucking bullshit - if you want to play in primetime, be a good team. There's a reason the Browns have never played on Sunday Night Football (since it moved to NBC - I didn't fact check that, but I'm pretty confident that's the case).
But hey, it could be worse. I'll give the NFL credit, since they know both of these teams suck, they schedule their one primetime game against each other so that we don't have to suffer through two Thursday nights featuring the shit teams of the AFC South. Good going Goodell!
I think the worse part of all is the timing, if Game 3 of the World Series was on, sports fans would have something good to watch. Instead, hardcore gamblers and daily fantasy players will be stuck watching this piece of shit.
Well, at least we have these ugly as fuck color rush uniforms to look forward to:
