So does this mean Thursday night football is guaranteed to last at least five more years?
 
That's a shame...

Anytime I see something break I try to get it up asap thinking "shit, can't have a double post" and it backfires 100% of the time. Haha.

Those are also some wild numbers. A night that nobody wants to watch football keeps going up in price. Baffling.

I think the numbers are wrong.  660 million for 16 games is 41.25 million per game, right?

I think it's still somehow the most watched show on Thursday nights.  Evidently, that's worth a shitload of money.

Oh I definitely believe that. I just can't see how the ratings equate to that amount. Maybe they think they can promote & produce it better?

They'll have to do one hell of a job, because TNF almost always fucking sucks.

There's really no build up to it. I feel like Thursday just creeps up on you and I'm like "oh shit, there's a game on right now".

Sunday games you have pre-game content all morning, you have radio and podcasts making their picks on Friday, etc.
