And I'm not talking about the Tigers/Thursday Night Football doubleheader tonight. (No ratings from me tonight, NFL! Aha!) I'm talking about how the NFL has reportedly been entertaining the idea of adding another weekly Thursday Night Football game to the schedule, because player safety isn't as important as the safety of already-deep pockets.
Fortunately, in what's hopefully not doublespeak, the NFL is denying the reports:
Statement from NFL in response to Wall Street Journal report: "We have not discussed or considered a doubleheader on Thursday night."

BUT WE NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT TRIPLEHEADERS! I'm in agreement with Sean from this morning's notes -- I'm already not a fan of Thursday night games. They make me feel very Weeden.
Part of the reason for that is because I can never get my picks in on time...
