For years, the NFL had just two games on Thanksgiving Day, with the Cowboys hosting one and the Lions hosting another.

Over the years, though, the NFL has added a Thanksgiving Night game, too. And, recently, the NFL even added a Black Friday game.

Now, a Wednesday night game is being considered.

According to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, the NFL is flirting with the idea of playing a game on Thanksgiving Eve this fall. It would add to an already growing holiday schedule for the NFL.

"NFL now is exploring playing a game on Thanksgiving Eve as early as this season," Schefter said. "This year this would be Wednesday, Nov. 25."

I read where the CBS's NFL contract is in trouble.

That would do incredible ratings.

I wish they wouldn’t.

Players seem to be getting more injured these days and the large amount of short weeks certainly isn’t helping matters.

The NFL will tout Wednesday games as a "mini bye" with 10 to 11 days rest between games.

And what about the other side of that equation?

If they played on Sunday and then play again on Wednesday, that’s 3 days of rest in between.

The NFL does not care, it's all about the revenue.

NFL is in stiff competition with NCAA to make their football products shittier than the other.
