NFL schedule day came and went, and nothing really significant—outside of the Fall and early Winter plans of football fans—changed in the process. As you might be able to tell, I’m not overly enamored with the nature in which the league attempts to make the schedule release some grand event, though it’s entirely understandable why they as a business and cottage industry (of which I’m wholly a part) would want to do so.
Whether the Pittsburgh Steelers play the New York Jets in week 3 or week 11, at 1 PM or 8:20 PM, it really doesn’t matter, especially not in May.
