    I'll be pissed if the NFL starts doing games on Saturday.

    Saturday is for college football, not crappy matchups.

    I've thought the same thing for quite some time.

    Cuban would stand to gain the most from the NFL imploding. He's setting the narrative.

    LOL at Cuban talking about fans not wanting to see players act the fool.... they even less want to see a jackass owner like him acting the fool.

    Greed. It's probably the most predictable part of human nature. In capitalism it's in the rule book.

    The NFL is exploiting it's players.

    They don't have to have a minor league system.

    They don't have guaranteed contracts.


    The NFL is a sleezy organization. While the NBA and MLB also ultimately care about money, they are not AS obvious about it. The NFL doesn't hide the fact that they just do not care about anything but money and they are arrogant.

    Fantasy Football is not just to get bragging rights or to spend money on leagues, fantasy football, makes people watch games, that they probably wouldnt watch.

    people only watch their fave NFL team, but now people also watch the games, they have a player on it or against them.

    Self serving and lack of self-awareness.

    NBA is just as bad, particularly in the too many games department. No one wants to see a 7 game series between the #1 and #8 seed.

    NFL won't let him in, MLB won't let him in...NBA is all he's got. The big boys have a pretty stringent jackhole quotient.

    cuban looks prophetic? the nfl has had its share of criminals since forever. it's not going to be the end of days for the league. the only thing i'm confused is on why goodell only handed out a 2 game suspension to rice when he'd given chris henry back in the day, 8 games for personal conduct. Maybe he thought the nflpa would challenge rice's suspension anyway or maybe he called rice's wife and she gave him something similar to her instagram rant.

    cuban is just cuban, prophet he is not.

    I don't get it.

    I love having the games on network tv on Thursdays. I don't have NFL Network, so having the Thursday night game on CBS(?) has been great.

    Cuban is so polarizing. I really want to like this guy (outside of the fact he owns the Southern Oklahoma City Mavericks)...but he always comes across as an arrogant whiny prick.

    I hate it. Makes me rush into fantasy making decisions when you don't get injury reports from everyone else until Sunday. It makes you have to submit Pick Em sheets early. You're waiting 4 days for Fanduel results. It pisses on college football's night.

    It's overkill.
