Thanksgiving isn't going to bring in more revenue than any other game, it's just the joy of being on national TV and hosting a primetime game. But the SuperBowl...... now that's a money maker! How many times are we going to have it in Tampa Bay? New Orleans? Whereever. Bring that in football weather - Chicago, Green Bay, New England, Buffalo.... they've done one, once, in NYC, and it worked out. Even if the weather was to be crappy, people are still going to come.

i live an hour and a half from Lambeau.....I could see people having to get hotels in my area if the Super Bowl ever came to WI.

a stadium like Lambeau deserves to have a Super Bowl all up in it once....sadly it'll never happen.

The very definition of fair is equal value.
How is it equal value if some teams have to wait upwards of 10 years to host a Thanksgiving game? Again, you’re a fan. You are looking at this with an obvious bias. Also, as I pointed out previously...had Detroit never had this tradition, I’m sure most Detroit fans would want the same thing: to be able to host in a reasonable timeframe.
The NFL on Thanksgiving revenue will always be there.

If a player is believed to be concussed and renters the game without being checked the team should incur a 15 yard penalty.

Should be stiffer penalties than that, concussions are very dangerous

Maybe forfeit a draft pick.

It’ll make players have to be checked this way because no team will want to take 15 yard penalty. I mean a lot of players don’t care. They would rather have a concussion than a torn acl.

That hurts the whole team for one player I don’t see that. They already have experts on the sidelines no associated with the team and that hasn’t helped much either.

Either declare playing in the NFL is classified as hazardous work, or help protect the players from themselves!
Something has to give. The NFL, despite paying an epic fine of billions over decades, still tiptoes this line because if money.

Anything is going to hurt the whole team. Just to varying degrees.

Because I want my team to keep a game it's had since 1934? There's been a good number of years that was our only primetime game, whereas other teams get a handful. C'mon, dude. A tradition is a tradition. There are two other games, let those be revolvers.

He can be whatever the hell he wants if he produces 168 yards every week.

No way if anything that shows you how amazing he is. He will be a 5 time all pro this year which is better than witten and tied with Gates. He also has 76 TDs in just 100 games and he is only 28. Not to mention he has 2 rings.
