Jerry Green, a Detroit sportswriter who covered 56 consecutive Super Bowls, has died at 94, The Detroit News said Friday.
Green retired as a columnist at the News in 2004 but continued to attend the Super Bowl for the newspaper until this year. His streak began with Green Bay's 35-10 victory over Kansas City in the first Super Bowl in 1967.

RIP Jerry!

That's approaching Vin Scully territory. RIP

I understand one new proposed rule change involves catering to Thursday Prime football telecasts by flexing their games late in the season for playoff ramifications. One billion has to buy something and besides, Al Michels is pissed. This rule change also changes the current rule of one Sunday to Thurday turnaround game per team to TWO GAMES in a season.

The league clearly cares about player health with this one.

Load management, HERE WE COME.

It's an awful idea.

For perspective this possible flex only applies in Weeks 14, 15, 16, & 17. In 2023 the MNF games in Weeks 14 - 17 are also subject to flexing for the 1st time. There will likely be Saturday games in Weeks 15 & 16. I'm not sure who has the priority call on flexing but it seems likely that SNF and MNF would have preference over Amazon's TNF. We don't currently know when any Saturday game fixtures would be finalised. Even if TNF has a game it would like to flex out of it may not have a better game it could flex into. The likelihood is that there will end up being only 1 late season Thursday/Sunday switch.

The other point is that this won't increase the number of players at increased risk of injury in short weeks as the number of short week games won't increase. It will simply change which teams are affected by it.

The rule you referred to being changed from 1 to 2 is the number of times a team can be scheduled for TNF after appearing on the previous SNF.

Personally i'm looking forward to the 3 MNF double-headers in 2023.

It's cool if you live on the west coast but not so much for the east coast fans unless our team is playing.

How are we supposed to plan going to the games if they could be 3 different days every week all December/January? Nuts

Yep.

Will not be buying tickets to any Sunday games during Weeks 14-17.

I don’t typically do away games, but no way would I during this window now.

I said at the time that Thursday night football became a full-time thing that Goodell cares about player safety as much as Vick cares about dog safety. He just wants to stop being sued. This proves it.

Nobody likes Thursday Night football, the game quality is mostly terrible. The players hate it, the coaches hate it and the fans (other than the degenerate gamblers) hate it.

The product on the field isn't up to par with only three days between games. Five to six days between games sure isn't three days.

Andy Reid is completely unaware of an NFL QB… Hahaha!

I guess leaving off Aaron Rodgers helps your stat...

It would be funny if the Commies were owned by a Canadian.

Because he won't be a Packer this year, so it would be stupid to include him.
