Roger Goodell: The quality of games is better on Thursday nights (1 Viewer)

[St. Geezy]

“We’re more than just optics here. We’re into facts,” Goodell said. “Go to the same statistics, because you’re right about the quality of the games on Thursday night. There are actually less penalties, less turnovers. Almost by every barometer the quality of the games is better on Thursday night. Obviously, some games you’re going to have aren’t going to be as competitive, they will have a dominance. You get that.”

It should probably go without saying that fewer penalties and turnovers and higher completion percentages don’t necessarily translate to a higher quality game and does nothing to combat complaints from players about the quick turnaround from Sunday to Thursday. Goodell said that there is no “indication, facts or anything else that would indicate that the level of injuries are up on Thursday night” but did say the league would look at scheduling to minimize stresses on teams.

And here it is we thought the current president's staff had the market cornered on the concept of "alternative facts."

This man needs to go. And quickly. Back to watching hockey I go for the winter...

I think Roger Goodell needs to stay off the drugs.

 

[T-Town Saint]

Better than ESPN has on mondays that's for sure.

Well paid goof but a goof non the less.

Rog had some edibles before that presser.

Roger's been working with "alternative facts" for years. He's the original gas-lighter and invented the concept. Both are based in NYC, I'm guessing that is where Trump learned of the concept?

Can't wait for the marquee matchup of San Francisco vs Cleveland!

This is an alternative fact if there ever was one. Thursday night games have been pathetic.

 

[longtime lurker]

Those games have been horrible. Who you trying to fool, Roger?!

 

[GrayMatter78]

He conveniently left out injuries off his 'alternate facts' list.

Yeah rog, the product is so great, I didn't watch a single Thursday night game this past season. Well, except for one.
