Show of hands, does anyone really care about the Dallas and Detroit "tradition" on Thanksgiving? IMO it's boring, doesn't really add much, and gives those teams primetime games they don't necessarily deserve. So what do you think about these options:
A) This was suggested on Tuesday Morning QB, and I think it's a good idea. Have the two Conference champions host the Thanksgiving games against the opposing conference champ game losers. So this year, you'd have San Francisco @ New England and Baltimore @ New York. Both of those would be monster games.
But, if it causes too much havoc with the scheduling, I propose a different option:
B) Rotate the thanksgiving games among the cities that cannot host the Super Bowl, 1 for the AFC, 1 for the NFC.
