As far as the Lions sucking, football is a cyclical game, almost all teams have bad seasons... the Lions have not been historically abysmall all the time. Besides the Lions have the best WR in the league
Bad seasons??? Apparently you don't follow football.
Anywho...it's this simple:
Remove the Lions from Thanksgiving
NFL get's more coin
Fans get a game with decent teams
Just changing the channel doesn't solve the situation. I'm amazed how some people can see past their nose.
The NFL could make ALOT more money by showing better teams. Period. The freaking 2008 Lions just got named the worst team EVER on the NFL Network.
most likely the NFL's contract with the networks isn't affected by who the match-ups happen to be with on any particular day. what are you basing this on? period.
The Cubs have a TRADITION of not winning a World Series for the past century. I would bet their fans would love to see that TRADITION come to an end!!!
this has nothing to do with what we're talking about but thanks for trying

like I said, the increased revenue from one measly game is a spit in the ocean to a billion dollar industry like the NFL ...
maybe your favorite team should've come up with the idea in 1934 , sucks to be you.
Too bad for OP that many of us sports fans respect traditions and want to see them continue. One that I like is that the Cincinnati Reds always play a home game on opening day of baseball season in the US. I guess the fans of every other team can whine about that (just like OP), but it's a solid tradition and I hope it continues, just like Dallas & Detroit playing on Turkey Day.

Yeah. And like I said before, if people don't like that, then there's a THIRD game on that day....
The NFL needs to tweak the traditional Thanksgiving games. Dallas is fine because they usually have decent teams and are entertaining to watch but the Lions are losers, year after year. The only turkey I want to see is on the dining room table, not on the football field. The Lions need to go.
I don't think you can do anything about it and I can't either. Besides the Lions won last year.
Maybe replace the Lions with the New York Giants. I still am not against the Lions playing on Thanksgiving but I am against the Packers-Lions rivalry on Thanksgiving however.
Meh, I don't mind. As long as it's not an Eagles game... I don't mind!
