that the NFL played again on New Year's (Sunday) rather than defer to Bowl games, Winter Classic...even the RB Parade?

it's been done in the past, yet i'd really just rather nurse a hangover with tradition

i suppose it doesn't really matter as far as TV $$ is concerned?? and it just extends the Holiday football season?

    Back before the BCS when several bowl games had championship implications, I watched them intently. Now that only one game matters, I only watch if LSU or NC State is playing usually. So, the NFL can play on Saturday or Sunday or whenever and I am fine with it. Now, when that mythical college football playoff starts, the NFL would be foolish to schedule regular season games against that. It would be like March Madness, football style!!!

    This has been done since the mid-80s (I think) when Jan. 1 falls on Sunday.

    The NCAA waived bye-bye to tradition a long time ago in favor of the almighty dollar.

    Having to wait until January 9 for a national champion to be crowned is testament to that.

    Thank you, I was going to post something like that. By the time the Championship game finally comes around, I just don't give a damn anymore.
    I don't see how the college teams are supposed to stay sharp when they have so much time off from the regular season until the bowl games.

    The NFL wants to operate for a year and then be out of business?
