Its Thurzzz, week 9

NFL Network has changed sports overall. Aside from shelling out millions of dollars to a news channel completely devoted to one sport (one that lasts only 20 weeks, nonetheless), the NFL Network really took a chance. Prior to it, there was ESPN and that was it. Now, after the NFL Network, you have a designated channel for pretty much every sport. Thanks, DirecTV.
However, something that NFL Network did a few years back surely positioned itself well for the revenue of their company. Showcasing NFL games on a Thursday night is ludicrous enough, but to only show them on a paid channel is just a kick in the nuts.
Tonight we have the Ravens vs Falcons, a great matchup of young qb's, smash mouth running games, and some great playmakers on the defensive side of the ball. Also throw in Anquon Boldin and Roddy White.
Sure, if you can afford the NFL Network, its great for fans. I mean you now get football 3 days a week. Thursday is practically the weekend, so why not celebrate. However, put yourself in the players position. That means you gotta play two games in a span of 5 days. Here's what Ray Lewis thinks about Thursday night games:

"It goes back to the 18-game schedule," Lewis said. "You have to ask yourself a real question when you schedule games like this: Who does it help? Because it doesn’t help the players. That turnaround is just too quick. You go from playing a physical game on Sunday and you have less than four days before you have to physically get back up again. It takes a week for guys to really heal."

Well, well, well, Mr. Goodell. You've pissed off players already enough with the incorporation of little league rules, now it looks like they're mad again. we remember what happened last time Mr. Ray "Everything happens for a reason" Lewis got mad:
