Donkeys will have the advatage. They'll be at the hotel while the Chiefs are eating a ton of thanksgiving dinner and they'll be too damn full..and probably drunk(especially if we resign EW), to play football. You think the kc defensive line can't move now..wait till u see them after they eat 5 tons of thanksgiving dinner. Except Jared Allen..he'll go all day w/o eating just so he can have several helpings of Jake Plummer throught the game.

When the game are scheduled does make a difference, Tex. But we still play the same competition. And that all that can really be asked for...we can't play the same teams on a given weekend. You are correct that this aspect of our schedule was easier last...this year...we get the first place schuled....so some of of competition will be tougher than last year in that regard.

What is the purpose of having a prime time Thanksgiving game if it is not going to be nationally broadcast on ESPN or a free t.v. channel?

The NFL Network can generate advertising revenue, and they probably get a kickback from DirectTV too.

My guess is that it is the NFL's attempt to get Time Warner (and other cable companies) to finally purchase the NFL network package for the subscribers.

Me too. Assuming a local station picks up the feed, it won't matter much to the Kansas City Metro subscribers, but I'm telling you, there will be some Time Warner customers in other locations that will be mighty pissed if they can't watch this game.

Chiefs will play host to Broncos on Thanksgiving

Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt’s quest for a Thanksgiving Day game in Kansas City was rewarded today when the NFL announced the Chiefs will face the Denver Broncos at 7 p.m. Nov. 23 in the inaugural regular-season game on the NFL Network.

The Chiefs-Broncos game will be the third game of a Thanksgiving Day tripleheader, following the traditional games at Detroit and Dallas. Hunt has long contended that playing the annual Thanksgiving Day games gave those teams a competitive advantage because not only did the visiting teams have to travel on a shorter week, but the Lions and Cowboys, in effect, had an extra three days to prepare for the next opponent. Hunt has acknowledged Detroit should keep its game because the Lions have staged it since 1934, but the league should rotate the Thanksgiving Day games Dallas has hosted since 1966.

The NFL Network, which will broadcast eight primetime, regular-season NFL games on Thursdays and Saturdays in 2006, will now furnish the opportunity for a rotated game in the evening.

“We are ecstatic to have a great AFC West rivalry to kick-off NFL Network’s primetime live game telecasts,” said NFL Network president and CEO Steve Bornstein. “Being part of a new Thanksgiving Day tripleheader is an honor and we can’t wait to get to KC.”

The Miami Dolphins visit Detroit at 11:30 a.m. on CBS, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will play at Dallas at 2:15 p.m. on Fox before the Chiefs face Denver.

Because the NFL Network is a cable network and not available on all systems in Kansas City, its telecasts will also be available on a yet to be determined over-the-air station.

"The Broncos-Chiefs match will be the first live, in-season game on NFL Network, which will show eight prime-time games from Thanksgiving through the end of the season. Those games will be on either Thursday or Saturday nights."
