"Only people complaining about TNF last night are the ones who didn't get to see it."
Exactly.
And that's the problem. My wife bnought Prime some time ago and we've considered dropping it. We don't watch that much TV. I remembered that she had Prime and so tuned in about the middle of the third quarter for Thursday's game.
Where we live, lots of people don't have Amazon Prime. Money is tight in much of America and Prime is something most of us can live without.
On my hillside road there is no cable, and the signals from transmitters that would reach our dish, if we had one, are blocked out by our pine trees. Still, I wouldn't trade our smallish house and lifestyle, you could call it, in Montana for Brady's mansion or anything less that would put me closer to civilization and take away what I have.
Follow the money. Commish would rather create a revenue stream than uphold the Thursday Night Football tradition, where along with many others a mid-week evening out with the guys or my wife at our local sports bar and restaurant, is sold to the Amazon monopoly.
I understand - the NFL is a business, all that. But it has been corrupting itself since Tagliavue was commissioner and under the current guy, the integrity of the shield and the game, which he gloats so sanctimoniously about, is eroding in bits and pieces. Goodell is a tool who has put the integrity of the game on the auction block. And selling TNF to Amazon is on small part of that.
