Nothing Better Than The Packers in Primetime
When the Green Bay Packers are good, they find themselves in primetime quite often. Why? Well, it’s rather simple, they’re a public football team. Green Bay is one of the most public franchises in all of football. It goes Dallas, Pittsburgh, Green Bay, New England, Kansas City in that order. San Francisco is equally public even though they’ve fallen off. Therefore, it should not be a surprise that the National Football League flexed Packers-49ers to primetime in two weeks.

Primetime games are the best. Some of you might hate it because you work early in the morning or you work on the night shift. I’m sorry for you, but primetime is where you want to be. Hearing Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth talk about your team are the best. They are honestly the best to do broadcasting and if you don’t like Michaels and Collinsworth, I don’t like you. As my buddy, Eric said, one of the best things about your team being good is that you do not have to deal with the Chris Myers, Thom Brennaman, and Dick Stockton’s of the world.
If you do hate primetime games for some reason, this is probably the last one that can be flexed. Packers-Bears have a chance yet NBC already had that game. And the second-to-last game is already locked into Monday Night Football which might be the only way for the Packers to beat Minnesota at U.S. Bank Stadium.
