A new Thanksgiving tradition

Every year on Thanksgiving while families are enjoying their holiday meal, there are 2 NFL games being played. Every year they are in Detroit and Dallas, and it seems that many families choose what time they are going to eat around the football schedule. This year, the NFL will have 3 games on Thanksgiving Thursday, the third of which being the Broncos and the Chiefs, airing on the NFL Network. This will be the beginning of an 8 game schedule of live games on the network. This got the attention of congress, however, because many cable companies such as Time Warner have balked at paying the high fee the league charges to carry the NFL Network. My cable company does carry the NFL Network so I will be able to watch the game without worry, but after hearing about this story, all I could think of was doesn’t congress have bigger things to worry about than this?
