Thursday Night Football

This one is pretty self-explanatory: I want to watch NFL football on Thursday nights. I feel like that is a pretty reasonable thing to ask. It would be a teaser of sorts for the upcoming Sunday games. Last week (Week 1), there were two games on Thursday night: Washington vs. NYG (what a waste) and Indy vs. Chicago (what a shocker!). And it was a great night, especially at this time of year before the other TV shows start up again. It would be a much easier way for people to see even more of the NFL. As it is, the average person would be able to watch 4 games in their entirely, if they only watch one game at a time: 1pm, 4:15pm, and 8:30pm on Sunday, then the Monday night game (also, the 2 Monday night games last week were pretty awesome... I wouldn't mind that becoming a regularity). However, between the networks covering the games, you could probably catch two more on Sunday (Fox and CBS often air games in both time slots, depending on the market), giving you a total of 6. Of the 14-16 games per week (depending on bye weeks), 6 of that total is a good amount. But 7 is even more. That's half the games played per week during Weeks 3-10. I don't know about you, but I'd love to see some football on Thursday night. It would be a great way to get ready for the weekend.
But The Office and Lost would have to move to another night. Damn.
