Perhaps it's just me but normally in years past come Monday when you realize your Fantasy Football team has lost or is going to lose it can really stink and can drag most of your week down as you can't wait for Sunday to come to redem yourself.



However, with the Thursday games starting earlier than ever this year after Monday it's only like you have one day to sulk before the sting of losing is gone as you can get right back into the grove if you have players playing on Thursday or perhaps your opponent does and his players "Lay a Big Goose Egg" in the Thursday Night game and you start to think I could win this week.



Basically there's only two days of no football then a game then only two days to ponder then football!!!! Versus the normal (5) long days of having to wait until Sunday.

I hate the Thursday night games and am sure the players really love them. Sometimes, you can get too much of a good thing.

Yeah I noticed it this year in fact . There are something like 13-14 Thursday night games. Very little time to sulk or gloat about the previous week.

I actually like the Thursday night game. Gets the week started early and gives me a chance to catch part of an NFL game since Sunday's usually see me at work for most of Sunday.

I'm with 1putt. Thursday night games just don't seem right. I haven't even liked the last few years. I prefer 1 Thursday game a year; Thanksgiving... made it special. Remember when all games were Sundays except for the BIG Monday night game and you could watch 4 Sunday games on local TV rather than 2 based on your location?
