Hall of Fame game
Anyone know why they moved it to Thursday night? And damn it's only 1 week away!

Re: Hall of Fame game
I don't know why but I heard Carson Palmer complaining about it. He won't be playing in the game but he said it meant an extra week of camp and more travel. He said this putting a burden on the players to promote the NFL. It was interesting to hear a player be so candid about it.

Re: Hall of Fame game
I have heard a lot of them hate the extra pre season game. And extra week of camp. I'd guess if you were a bubble player it might help you get more tape maybe?

Re: Hall of Fame game
I have no verifiable inside information but what I have heard suggests a couple of factors. First, the NFL is looking to expand HOF Weekend to HOF week, while at the same time adding to the NFL Network's weekday interest. Second, with the Game on Thursday Night it is more likely to draw people for a longer weekend than having it on the back end. A Sunday Game can have people have to stay until Monday who will want to head home instead. This gives them the Opening Event (First Play, which involves children) on Wednesday, the game on Thursday, Gold Jacket Dinner on Friday, and the Enshrinement on Saturday.

Re: Hall of Fame game
Was it last year's HOF game that got cancelled because of the field paint? What a fiasco that was...
