Report: Saints could end up playing Saturday games in 2020 season

What exactly is a "prime time" game? I understand marquis match ups and if Saturday were available in the schedule that would allow for additional marquis match ups to be seen.

Sunday night is not prime time for me, my Monday morning comes at 3am. Sounds more like network marketing crap to me.

A Saturday game would also periodically give someone an extra days rest.

Maybe schedule dud teams on Saturdays to increase exposure?

I actually like the Saturday game idea. It would be a great opportunity to see teams you usually don't because of the sheer number of Sunday games. With a little scheduling forethought, there could actually be a "marquee" game on Saturday and Sunday each week. It would actually enhance the number of key matchups televised each week.

Don't forget they need to be East coast and West coast games at noon. Expect to see us be the first team to accomplish that feat when Godhell tries to screw us again.
