I mean that would give them more rest and more planning than a thursday night game?

They might now that College Football is about to unionize.

So basically what he's saying is the Lions have a ten-year window to win a SuperBowl?

... rule changes, high ticket prices, escalating salaries, Thursday Nite games, arrogant/narcissistic players ... I've been losing interest for a while now ... heck, I think the only thing keeping me hanging on is MudBugs!

The NFL will implode, but it won't be because of greed. It will be because of lawsuits and maybe even Big-Government interference forcing it to become as close to non-contact as possible.

Personally I can see it. But not through all of his reasoning. NFL will regret TNF packaging when half the league's big four QBs are done playing and therefore a one man conference(AFC, Luck) where the only challenge is a potential division rival(Manziel) and therefore low ratings for CBS games on Sunday and AFC games on TNF.

The only reason the Saints have a team is because of big corrupt government.

Let's not forget that TNF is only 2 years short of a decade old. Yes, first aired in 2006 Thursday Night Football is hardly a new or untried product. There has been nothing recent to spur Cubans rant except for 1/2 the TNF games getting played on a different network. Restraint is also evident in the fact that TNF is only 13 of the possible 21 weeks.

I know we all dislike change but MLB has gone unchanged for the most part for decades and the fan base has greatly diminished.

Could be because money has dictated championships for far too long. Some players payroll exceeds an entire teams salary, this non sense is why fans are vanishing, that and after the 1994 strike, it never recovered.

I played BB for 11 years, that Strike soured my taste for it, the 80-90 drug test failures before a player is held accountable sealed the deal.

The fact that congress gets involved in BB is just flowers on the grave.

And it has turned into a blackout league. How can you like a sport that you can't watch on an amazing HD tv? MLB sucks now and Cuban should be focusing his ire on them instead.

Agreed. Just like the NHL lockout a few years ago. Fans learn they can live without it, especially when we have so many sports options.

Right now, you've got hockey, basketball, baseball, and soccer seasons all going.

Even if you're not a fan of all of them, if one goes away, you're going to start watching another more.

And on that note... Go Devils! Geaux Pelicans! Go Dodgers! and Go Sporting KC!
