I think that what keeps the Thursday night games going is the NFL's idea that it adds value to their cable network. You can imagine how excited I am about going to see the Panthers on a winter Thursday night. > It is a little obnoxious to run into fans who care more about their fantasy > team than the real football team (though I too occasionally find myself with > conflicting loyalties). I don't care whether someone cares more about their fantasy team than the team they root for, as long as they realize that I couldn't care less about their fantasy team. > One thing this article does not mention is another > big reason the NFL is happy to push fantasy - it takes some of the attention > away from what has long been a primary driver of NFL fan interest, which is > betting. Fantasy has the same effect as betting - it gives viewers an excuse to care about games they would otherwise ignore. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
