I watched most of the TNF games this yr, yeah they mainly sucked but I was still keeping up with it. I'd rather them have a double header on MNF every week instead.

Thursday night actually had some good games this year.

All the players make good money and I don't feel sorry for any of them .My question is how is that $120 grand different then if those games were played in a double header on Monday night or Sunday night Football? All teams played 16 games so I am trying to understand the money reason here,16 games would be played any way Sunday Night and Monday Night is considerd "Primetime" so how is the money different?

well, a network televised national game would have a different revenue model then a sunday afternoon 1pm game. For example, Fox is not paying 500million to broadcast 11 random matchups at 1pm Sunday.

edit: just read your followup to Matty's. A double header Monday would probably have the same draw as the Thursday night. But would Fox (for example) pay 500Million for 11 matchups on early Monday when half the nation might still be at work, or a later game for the west coast where the east coast markets have gone to bed? Maybe. I think thats what the NFL was trying to find out with the opening week double headers on Monday Night, but I don't think they have said any specific results.

As for Sunday, pretty hard to see any time slot except early am, for a broadcaster to pay 500Million for.

Just my opinion and nothing else.If they paid that for a Thursday ,they will pay it for any "prime time slot"on a Monday or a Sunday.Any network would have to pay for "additional games.

I mean I agree they would pay something but there is extra value, I think, in being the only game on that day. No option for the diehard fans except to watch that game.

i personally like the idea of thursday night football. its just most of the match ups are horrible. too bad there isnt a way to flex it some how. ensuring better quality games

I think they are paying to be the only show in town. Every bar will have that one game on that night, every casual football fan will click over to it for a bit. If it had to go head to head against another prime time game and another network that would decrease the value and how much a network is willing to pay to have rights. It definitely would decrease $ for the players how much? I don't know.

This looks like something that can be read both ways. 2018 SB is 10th most watched program of all time, but 1-8 are all previous Super Bowls (which means this one didn't draw 'em in like it used to.)

MTK · 02-06-2018, 09:02 PM

lol top 10 show of all time, meh, not impressed
