No. They did it when no one else would do it.

This is the truth.

TDay is probably the only game the lion's get national coverage.

Since it's the Cowboys & Lions every year, I hardly watch anymore. Usually the late game is worth watching.

RJ · 11-24-2009, 03:52 PM

Yes, please.

I despise the Cowboys and the Lions have never been better than mediocre, at least in my lifetime. Top that off with my cable company not offering NFL Network, and Thanksgiving football is not much fun for me.

What are the games and what time are they on?

It should be passed around the league. I believe Lamar even said as much .... Thus the reason we held the first Thanksgiving Thursday night game a couple of years back. Also I I can't remember if I heard or read it but GM put $$ into the coffers so to speak and thats how Detroit got it and kept it all these years.

Truth be told...very few teams want to host a Thanksgiving day game. The reason the Chiefs got the first third game is that Lamar pushed for years to rotate or add a third rotating game. Every season when laying out the schedule teams list dates they can't or prefer not to be at home. Since the addition of the third game only about 5 or 6 teams have stood up to say we can/will host on Thanksgiving. For several years the NFL tried to get another network ABC, TNT, ESPN to pick-up the third game and they weren't interested. It took the NFL starting it's own network to make it happen.

My opinion on this would be ... Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders!!!

**Rain Man** · 11-24-2009, 07:04 PM

I miss the days when it wasn't Thanksgiving, but rather The Barry Sanders Day of Football Worship.

I think the third game should be an All-AFC matchup, I don't mind the Lions and Cowboys matchup but it would be nice to keep it even at 3 NFC teams and 3 AFC teams.
