Not a fan of Thursday games

I'm just not a huge fan of Thursday night games in the NFL. I think it forces teams to stay very vanilla on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. I think in the future the NFL should look at having teams coming off bye weeks play on a Thursday night. Has LT lost a step, I don't think so I just think the offensive line is not as overpowering as they once were. I also don't think that they are using him in the passing game like years past. In my fantasy football playoffs, LT was held to an average game and my opponent actually had both LT and Sproles in, but took Sproles out at the last minute. So what is your thoughts on Thursday night football?

I think too much extra football can water down the product and weaken what made the NFL special. But the NFL has no problem trying anything to make more money.

Turkey day football is fine, but the rest has got to go.

Maybe its just me, but football just doesn't excite me as much as it used to. I could watch Sunday and Monday Night Football, but the last year or two, if the Redskins aren't playing I typically don't watch. My attention has turned to the NBA, watching basically whatever game I can find on TV (I've watched the Thunder play). Like I said, maybe its just me, but I'm finding the NBA have more opportunity to be exciting as opposed to the NFL.
