We're all so addicted to football that even crappy Thursday Night Football games just help the NFL economy churn along -- there will always be fantasy football chats to tell you which players to start Thursday Night, the pre-game storylines lead SportsCenter every Thursday afternoon, and on Friday everyone still writes their columns and those columns lead every website and sports page in America.

Something I noticed looking at the schedule this year is that on Thanksgiving NBC will have the night game and not NFL Network.

I like noon games on Sunday and that's about it.

I could live without the goofy guy who's doing the promos for NFL Network's "Thursday Night Football", which this week is Giants/Panthers in Charlotte.

Speaking of "Thursday Night Football," did anyone catch Cee Lo Green doing an awful cover of the Ramones classic "Blitzkreig Bop"?

No, bad bad bad....destroying a Ramones song and I now hate Ceelo Green.

This is about the worst open ever...............STOP, just please STOP and go back to the simple opens like Monday Night Football when they started or the NFL on CBS music from Brent Musberger/Howard Cross/Jimmy the Greek era!!!!

I think you meant Irv Cross, not Howard Cross. Howard's part of the WFAN/Giants' Radio Network team with Bob "In Space" Papa.

Good catch, SHARK. Something seemed wrong when I typed that....thanks for the correction.

I think I might be in the minority here but I would take NFL football every single damn night. I love the Thursday games, I love the Saturday night games they play in December, I love Monday night games even when they take 4 plus hours to be played. For me there's nothing like sitting down and watching Redzone on a Sunday afternoon if the Bears aren't playing and just be enthralled with Redzone for the whole day.

I'm old enough to remember when Irv, Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder, Phyllis George, Jayne Kennedy & host Brent Musburger always told us "You are looking live..." at the beginning of every "NFL Today" when CBS Sports had the NFC contract back in the day. Good times!

SHARK, you refer to your age in the context of being "old enough to rememeber . . ." repeatedly.

I Googled it and there are nearly a hundred hits - http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=n ... 80&bih=631

Having read this so many times it kind of begs the question: How old are you?

I am one for the Sunday-Monday games, and I just wonder if the Giants were playing Sunday, how many of there players would they have, since Nicks, Bradshaw and a couple others are out.

Exactly.

Thursday Night Football should be reserved for those teams coming off of a bye week.
