I loved the old days...10/11 years ago, when all NFL playoffs were Sat/Sun at 12:30 or 4. Every one of them. And then, Saturdays got switched to 4:30 and 8 (8 on a Saturday is a little bit OK)...and Championship Sunday 3 and 6:30. For 20 years, the two Championships (AFC/NFC) games were 12:30 and 4...much better...for me anyway.

Now don't go getting all nostalgic on us SA....
The NFL has had to "adjust" for the demographics of the viewing audience whether we like it or not. During the NFL season, SNF is the highest rated primetime show on Sunday nights and has been nearly every week dating back to the 2009 season. Only the recent Survivor finale knocked them off the pedestal that week.
The recent signing of the TV rights until 2022 which will net the NFL nearly $2 BILLION per year is just mind boggling....
