Спорт

My genuine thoughts on why TNF is so bad on Amazon. NFL knows (or at least suspects) the viewership numbers are very VERY bad. But they agreed to this contract and so they have to give Amazon games to air. Nobody said they have to be good games, however.

The scriptwriter series is literally the best content Grossi has ever made! Keep it coming!
My problem with Thursday football is not the matchups, it’s the fact that teams are playing with only 3 days rest. It show the NFL’s basic contempt for player’s health.

I mean, considering how most people don't have Amazon Prime, it's not a shock that they dump all the trash games (LV vs. LAC, WASH vs. CHI, ETC) to them. Also, another gem as always, Tom. :) Keep on channeling that sweet script writer chaos energy.

“Let’s add in a punt return touchdown so it will get on ESPN”
It's very hard to schedule good games well before the season even starts.
I feel like "We'll bring in the mayo man to spice things up" is not getting the appreciation it deserves. Such a good line.
The way you truly accurately depict all walks of life when it comes to football and those various reactions of each group of people is incredible and amazing
"Sadly, Amazon Tom never got those kitchen cabinets. However, he was able to pull a nice big cardboard box that once *held* cabinets out of a dumpster behind the Lowes." *Amazon Tom is now living out of that box*
It sucks because NFL Prioritizes Bigger markets and ratings over actual good matchups. Also some of the teams are just worse than expected.

This video was amazing! Can you do a part two of this video after week 18?
Really how did the Bears get two Thursday night games? Did we think they were going to be good this year?
One of the best parts of watching TNF, is watching the ads about how AWS makes the NFL schedule. So who gives Prime these games? Amazon.
That Thursday Rams v Raiders game last season with that Baker Mayfield Comeback was insane.
Another awesome video Tom appreciate you
my amazon hasn't even worked the last three weeks. Everything else does but I can't ever get the game to load.
I'm still tryna figure out why Amazon signed up for that crap. Even Monday night games are better.
In my darkest of hearts I kind of want the next video to continue and this ending to never be addressed
Remember when the broncos and panthers went to the Super Bowl, they are probably looking down at them now and feeling pretty disappointed
So, I played in HS and then for years in the military (not even full contact) and playing 4 days after the last game...that's tricky. I know these guys are elite athletes but still. In HS we played on Friday night, watched film on Sunday night, practiced in pads Monday but no one could really move well and contact hurt (we were just trying to implement the next game plan), Tuesday was a regular practice but with lots of drills trying to shake out the kinks, and then Wednesday, you actually felt like you could go through practice at full speed. Thursday was a walk through in shorts and Friday was game day again....so, as teenagers with a ton of growth hormone and testosterone naturally, it was 5 days before we weren't "stove up" and sluggish.

Amazing! Well done sir.
but what amazon does not know is that aaron rodgers wont play because of his achillies
My wife was in labor all this past Thursday and gave birth early Friday morning. On Saturday I realized I had no idea who had played on Thursday night and hadn't thought about it at all. Looked it up and saw it was Bears Panthers and was like oh ok didn't miss anything
This is so accurate, i dont even wanna bet on thursday games
I forgot it was Thursday and went to check who was playing on Amazon prime, switched back to Home Alone, which I've already watched 17 times this year.
As an Amazon employee..... I do concur, this is the exact way management acts.. in ALL situations
As a NFL script writer I can confirm this is how it happens
This, kids, is why we don’t trust AI. I’ve seen the commercials bragging about how AI is used to build the NFL schedule … and, I never thought about it before, but it explains all bad Prime Time games. Everything that Amazon said is logical, like something that an algorithm would create. However, there’s no real-world understanding of the NFL or the game of football. It’s actually pretty creepy …
Sometimes i forget that this is ALL just Tom talking to himself. Like all of it. The man is just THAT good.
great video tom
Great work! Congrats Tom. Thanks for making horrible games so much fun!
Tom, don’t let anyone tell you to stop doing this type of video format. Keep doing you
Amazon got scammed 😂
_If the NFL was Scripted_ is my favorite Grossi venture❤❤❤
What next, Commanders vs Bears next year on TNF again?
The fun part is there a Amazon commerical about that technique they own that helps the NFL makes their schedule, and yet they end up with such bad tnfs :p
"I can get new kitchen cabinets baby !!" LOL
I just love these skits. More, please!

All I wanted out of Prime was free shipping, and they spent $11 billion dollars on bad football.
I totally knew he was coming back to yell at the script writer, and I still laughed my ass off when he did. Loved it.
Forgot Lions beating the SB Champs on banner raising night in KC. That’s how you kick off the season!
İ feel like before the season the next three games looked promising. Some never looked that way like this week's game
Maybe the NFL should rethink having games on Thursday night outside of Thanksgiving.
yo you should watch the cortaca jug game next year.
Thursday and Monday and Sunday night games should be reserved for only good teams
Chicago, New York and LA are always going to be on Prime Time - the greed has to account for viewers & those 3 are the biggest markets. But to be fair, going into the season & when writing up the schedule, the NFL had every reason to believe the 2 New York teams were going to be watchable & draw viewers - no one saw what's happened coming. The problem is their unwillingness to opt out of trashy content - despite having the Flex scheduling mechanism in play.
I didn’t even know Amazon was still a thing.
You did it again. Priceless 🎉
