This schedule is getting ridiculous Oliver Drake Jersey .Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh criticized the Big Tens decision to schedule for the 2017 season.THOMAS: We love hisphrase chosen to infringe because football in general is doing that now. Harbaugh isright, too.Fridays are for high school football. Dont expect a Michigan, Penn State or Ohio State home game on Friday night anytime soon. Its a bad idea.Harbaughs , though, presents a bigger question: Do we really need football games every day of the week? Even those of us who can watch 16 straight hours of football on a Saturday (it has come to that) deserve a break.Heres what the football schedule should look like.MONDAYWhat we want: Better Monday Night Football matchupsThis used to be the main event. That might be Sunday Night Football now, but dear lord, some of are set up to be awful.The average margin of victory in this years Monday night games has been 16.4 points. The best game was Tampa Bays 17-14 win against Carolina on Oct. 10, a game in which Cam Newton didnt even play.What we dont need: The 8:30 p.m. ET start timeYou can bump that back to 8 p.m.Exceptions: The Week 1 Monday Night Football doubleheader, the Labor Day college football showdown (doesnt interfere with NFL most of the time) and the College Football Playoff championship game.We like those.MORE: TUESDAYWhat we want: #MACtionIts OK to have Mid-American Conference games and other Group of 5 conference games on in November. Thats where and when youll get a chance to watch Western Michigan at Kent Dustin McGowan Jersey State on Nov. 8.What we dont need: Anything elseExceptions: Again, bowl games or Jan. 1. Thats about it.MORE: WEDNESDAYWhat we want: A day of restWhat we dont need: Football on Wednesdays during the regular seasonExceptions: Bowl gamesWe can have bowl games on Mike Brosseau Jersey Wednesdays, especially if they fall on Dec. 1. But theres no reason to have football on Wednesdays during the regular season.THURSDAYWhat we want: A big-time college football game each weekThis isa spot for that, and the schedule allows for it. Of course, that would mean What we dont need: NFL Thursday Night FootballThis game requires a week of preparation. When you jam that down to three days, you get the product were seeing in the pros.MORE: Exceptions: The Week 1 NFL opener and Thanksgiving footballWe need those.FRIDAYWhat we want: High school footballIts called Friday Night Lights for a reason. The occasional high-profile West Coast showdown, like Stanford-Washington this year, works.What we dont need: Big Ten football games on Friday night. Or SEC. Or Big 12 Exceptions: In 2020-21and 2021-22, the College Football Playoff semifinals will be on Friday night, but that will be long after the high school season is over.SATURDAYWhat we want: The current setup works.We love having college football on from noon until sometimes 3 a.m. ET in the morning. Its a 15-hour day, but we love it.What we dont need: Games that take Jonny Venters Jersey four-plus hoursWhen one game bleeds into the second quarter of the next one, thats a problem. College football needs to run the clock on first downs. .ANGRY BENDER: Exceptions: NFL football on a Christmas Eve Saturday (like this year) is better than Christmas Day, which is NBA territory. We also enjoy Saturday playoff games during the wild-card and divisional playoff rounds. They dont interfere with college for the most part.SUNDAYWhat we want: The current scheduleThe NFLs early-late-primetime formula works. Flex scheduling is a plus, and the average margin of victory in Sunday Night Football games is 8.0.What we dont need: The International SeriesUse last weeks tie between Washington and Cincinnati in London as the primary example. A compromise? One game in London and one game in Mexico City every year.Exceptions: Hard choiceslike last week, when the World Series was bumped up against the Yonny Chirinos Jersey Eagles-Cowboys game. The NFL wins that matchup sometimes, but it wasnt going to beat Indians-Cubs.
