Thursday Night Football? Is it just me...

Or does anyone else think that Thursday Night Football is garbage? Even though its a primetime game for Carolina which are always exciting and it gives us some media attention, I've just always liked that the NFL was limited to Sunday with one special treat on Monday night. And regardless, the matchups seem to be consistently bland and unimportant. excepting this thursday of course

Prime-time is prime-time... I'll take what we can get. I just hope we shine. The MNF game was pathetic.

As far as having the attention of the media, we don't have the fan base of the Cowboys which pretty much gives you the ability to suck all year and still end up with 10 nationally television games. Not as bad as baseball with the Yankees & Red Sox, but it's slowly creeping there with 90% of the media's attention going to four (maybe five) NFL teams.

I like it for the simple fact that I don't think there's enough football to keep me satisfied throughout the week. Having it be a Panthers game is just a plus.

Indeed.

Think about it...

Thursday Night: Panthers

Friday Night: High School Football (Well, my old HS made it to the playoffs.)

Saturday: College

Sunday: NFL

Monday: NFL

Muahah.

i'm only gonna get one panthers game a week no matter how you slice it, i'd rather it be on sunday... I can't remember there ever being an interesting enough matchup on thursday that i actually found a tv with nfl network to watch the game. and theres always college football on thurs for everyone who needs some grid iron to make it to the weekend

and in football, players need time to get healthy, for that week and their careers. it is working in our favor this week b/c of Ronnie Brown who probably would be able to play if it was sunday. Being on monday night football gives team a short but managable 6 day week, but a 4 day week i ridiculous. teams also need time to prepare which is becoming an essential part of being a good team. taking it out is like taking out special teams

the reason the thursday games are a "less attractive" game is because when it all first started, there was a game with the cowboys and i think the giants or patriots that had huge significance and many people made a big deal, including that crybaby troy aikman, that the game wouldn't be seen by the majority of fans due to being on the nfl network.

the nfl network then pussed out and allowed abc, or espn to simulcast the game so everyone can see it. since then, the've wussed out on the top matchups of the week being played on thursday night.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
