I don’t particularly love the proliferation of international games. While it’s a nice gimmick and undoubtedly a treat to fans across the world, it’s also a pretty big disruption to the NFL season, and it’s costly to the local season ticket holders who lose a home game.
That said, I do love me some 9:30 a.m. ET football. I’m a morning person, and having a little football to pair with my eggs and bacon is the definition of an ideal Sunday morning. Plus, that makes the day essentially an NFL quadruple-header with the 9:30 a.m., 1 p.m., 4 p.
