NFL announces 13 Thursday Night games next season!

[Dpantherman]

INDIANAPOLIS — The NFL is increasing the number of Thursday night games so more of its teams can play in prime time.

Commissioner Roger Goodell said that there will be Thursday night games on the NFL Network from the second to the 15th week of the season, giving all of the league’s teams a chance to appear in prime time on some outlet.

Those games will be in addition to the usual Sunday night and Monday night games, which tend to feature teams coming off good seasons.

More football. More Panthers (well we still see 16 panther games but still)

Time Warner Cable.....I hate your ass!

If you don't have NFLN, the team's local market will carry the game.

Why would anyone get TWC in the first place? My same $54 a month package with Dish would cost over $120 with TWC (counting HD DVR boxes, etc)

no damn't Thursday night isn't for the NFL. Sunday and Monday night.

You mean for you? Time Warner Cable is the only service (to my knowledge) without NFL Network.

BTW, if you get Panthers games on local TV, you'll get the Thursday night game on one of your local TV. Of course there will be 1,000,000 threads asking this question when that time comes anyway.

Every night is for the NFL. Hell I take Tuesday and Wednesday too.

I like Thursday night games. Start the weekend early

This is awesome. I hate the short week of prep for the teams, but I love having an extra game. I mean, I'm going to have to start DVRing Grey's Anatomy, but that's ok I guess.

So Time Warner does not have the option to add NFLN? Sucks for you guys.

I hate PAY TV. They are just a bunch of crooks. Wonder how many Panther games I will miss watching this season.

Monday and Thursday. It's like blacking out sold out games. It makes it all seem kind of dumb when I invest so much in season tickets, but have to miss away games of my team. I need to reconsider my position.

shouldn't really effect anything.

If you live in the Charlotte market......you get every game (regardless of having NFLN or not)

If you live outside the Charlotte market you rarely get the games to begin with.

and this children is an example of when corporate scamming is successful
