Eagles To Play Thanksgiving (Will You See It?)

041508eagleslogo.jpg
Well, look at this! The Eagles will play on Thanksgiving night this year at home against the Arizona Cardinals. In addition to their division games and the four games against the rotating AFC opponent (this year, the North, where they'll play the Steelers, Ravens, Bengals and Browns), the Eagles will also play the 49ers, Falcons, Seahawks, Rams and Bears.

But the Thanksgiving game might be the most interesting, and just because it's on, well, Thanksgiving. The NFL and Comcast are still having a tug of war over what "tier" the NFL Network should be on, part of the most boring controversy in world history. (I just love it when multi-million dollar corporations fight.) Now, Comcast's home market of Philadelphia has a high-profile game that will be airing on NFL Network! What better way to shame them (or something) into doing their bidding. That crafty NFL!

It will be simulcast on local TV, too; some attention will probably be paid to it, was my point.

Notice anything that the Cardinals, Seahawks, Rams and 49ers have in common? They're all NFC West; each division plays another in-conference division on a 3-year rotation. And the Falcons and Bears are the other two 2007 NFC division losers; the 'Boys play the Bucs and Packers, etc.
