Amazon reportedly wants to make a big NFL scheduling change
According to Ourand, as of now, it looks like Bills at Rams will open the season on Thursday night in Week 1.
Ourand also reports that with Christmas Day falling on a Sunday this year, the NFL will move most of its normal slate of games to Saturday. However, NBC will still air agame on Christmas Day, and Fox and CBS both want to air a Christmas Day game as well.However, the item in Ourand’s report that intrigued me more than anything was this:
“Amazon has made a little bit of noise about scheduling a game on Black Friday. A Black Friday game would complement Amazon’s e-commerce business, and it would be similar to its Premier League strategy in Britain, where it carries all of the league’s Boxing Day games. But this store may be closed; the NFL has been lukewarm to this idea.”Granted, I said the Black Friday game should be a 9:30 London game, but I’ll take it anywhere, anytime.
I’ve never been prouder to be an Amazon subscriber than I am right now. Black Friday is a perfect day for a stand-alone NFL game. You’re tired, full and hungover from the day before. You want to avoid stores at all costs. Most people have off from work. It is an absolute no-brainer.CBS's Andrew Catalon did an excellent job forecasting the scrum that took place at the Michigan-Wisconsin game Sunday night.
"Juwan Howard not going over immediately to shake hands," said Catalon right after the closing buzzer. He then added, "Interesting finish here." He wasn't kidding.
