Thursday Night Money

With all of the talk about player safety and the impact of Thursday Night Football, it's easy to see why the games keep getting played.

Fox just signed a five year contract to broadcast 11 games annually. The NFL Network will do the others.

The price is estimated to be between $550-$660 million annually.

With money like that to be split between players and owners, player safety concerns become secondary. The NFL will pay lip service, but it's all about the money in the end.
