Roger Goodell shades NFL Network’s “Thursday Night Football” production
NY Post
Roger Goodell didn’t mince words when talking about the efforts of pro football’s dedicated network.
When appearing on the stand Monday as part of the ongoing “NFL Sunday Ticket” trial, Goodell not-so-subliminally judged NFL Network’s production quality when airing “Thursday Night Football.”
“I had my own opinion that our production was below standards that the networks (Fox and CBS) had set,” Goodell said. “We had not met that standard.”
NFL Network carried “TNF” exclusively from its inception in November 2006 until CBS joined the fray in 2014.
The last such game to air on the network came in 2021.
The NFL pivoted the weeknight game to Amazon’s Prime Video beginning in 2023.

The preferred path to follow remains in place: Select a quarterback with the No. 3 pick in the draft. That is what the Giants hope will happen. When it comes to identifying and securing a franchise-saving player, though, hope is not a good thing, maybe the worst of things — with apologies to Andy Dufresne.
