'And that's what all of this is — a money grab. Heck, why is the NFL even playing on Thursday nights to begin with? It's TV money and lots of it. The TV networks are throwing millions of dollars at the NFL to air Thursday Night Football. I'm trying to remember how it works: NBC airs the season-opening game, then CBS airs a bunch until about Halloween, which are simulcast on the NFL Network, then the NFL Network airs a few, then NBC airs the Thanksgiving night game, then the NFL Network airs the rest, just so you can pay more to the cable company.'
