Thursday Night Football

Just curious, is there a source of meaningful statistics that would illustrate that more people get injured on Thursday night? Players don’t have a chance to heal up properly in my estimation and I would bet you a shiny new time but there are more injuries on Thursday nights.

The limitation of this study is that it relies on injury reports. It would be interesting to run the numbers of intragame injuries notated in the play-by-by logs and compare those across rest periods.

This article tells me just about everything I need to know. It also explains a possible reason that the injuries aren't statistically much higher than any other game: players want to play and actively avoid the injury report when possible.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...
