Why Thursday Night Football is a bad idea

Sure,I think my issues with Thursday Night Football start with some minor things (Like I never get to see the second half),but that is beyond the most important point that seems to be either something that the NFL did not take into account in planning or just plain did not care about when doing so..

I have some smaller points that I dislike the NFL Network's TNF broadcasts such as disliking Mike Mayock (I wince just thinking of the 1990's ESPN2 CFL pairing of Gus Johnson and Mayock),the awful pre-game crew (When Steve Mariucci is the best of the bunch-you have major problems),the less than strong visuals and the usually non-compelling pairings (Unless you have a team involved,it usually is not worth the time).

I am not always against Thursday football.
I have no problems with the Thursday game to start the season, I have no problems with the Thanksgiving tripleheader and if pressed,I might even go with a last 4-6 week run at the end of the season when the college season is over.
However,games every Thursday is lunacy.
Not just because the product can be more than subpar (thanks to the decision that every team must appear once on "national tv",the teams are often losing squads),other than the week two Packers-Bears game and this past Thursday's Saints-Falcons matchup,the games have generally been less than stellar.
Or that the league may be on the verge of reaching overkill with too much football.

It is because of the NFL's lip service on the issue of concussions and then force two teams to play two games in five days.
Boiling it down to its essence,the league (and Roger Goodell) seems to place money above the health of its players.
With the deluge of former players with legitimate health concerns from their career beginning the legal process for damages from the league,one would think that a league would be taking care of its current players by not wanting to lengthen the season or adding games on short rest.

The additional risk of injury should outweigh any financial gain,which mainly comes from having live games on the NFL Network and the fact that the games are between good teams or bad ones should be besides the point.
The fact that most would be the lower level games on CBS or FOX on Sundays makes them even more of a bad idea.
I don't see these as money makers and if that is the goal,I am not sure that goal is realized.

All things considered,perhaps the NFL might be nearing the point of overexposure.
Occasionally,a little less means a lot more....
