What about Saints on Thanksgiving Day 2010

MatthewT · 02-19-2010, 07:14 PM

Very interesting issue, but I don't believe the Saints will be in the Thanksgiving game. My belief is the Cowboys game will be a Monday Night game, and we all know the NFL is always interested in maximizing their big money teams. What I mean is why show the Cowboys vs Saints on Thanksgiving when they already know Cowboys vs anyone else is still going to be a big draw, and save the Cowboys vs Saints for another slot which should draw even better ratings. JMO.

I'll go with majority and vote no--
I hate short weeks, and I doubt that the NFL would give up a potential big audience game like NO-Dall

We have never played on TG Day.

It would be nice to - BUT I think I would rather play Detroit.

Saints didn't have a Sunday night game on NBC in 2009, I look for Cowboys vs Saints on a Sunday night for NBC.

There's enough stress on TD that I don't need them to add the Saints playing the Cowboys to it. I'd rather watch the Saints revenge last season's lose in prime time

Correct me if I'm wrong...but isn't it the same boring games every Thanksgiving? Detriot, Dallas, Minny, Cleveland, Green Bay.....Thats it....yawn. Forgive me if I left out another team there that I don't give a rats ass about. It's lame and the only reason I watch them is because it helps me get some nap time in. I wouldn't mind seeing a little mix up there, but like someone mentioned...it would definately make TG a little more stressful.

I think if we wanted it bad enough we could start a petition to Roger Goodel, suggesting the Saints play on thanksgiving day.
