I think that would have been a pretty cool tradition to watch the Bengals every Black Friday. However, the NFL obviously didn’t agree with it. As the NFL went with the Jets vs. the Dolphins this year.

Worth a shot. I wonder if the NFL would think twice about permanent spots for teams on big prime time games. The Lions' Thanksgiving games at noon are rarely "good" games.

Don't know if you don't ask.  But honestly, if any team should be the permanent host of Black Friday, it should be the Black Hole and the Raiders.

I did think of the Raiders as well. 

Considering I am a "high school football guy" I am against any NFL football being played on Fridays.

Colleges have done it forever.  I remember quite a few Nebraska games on the Friday after Thanksgiving.   Actually shocked it took the NFL this long to jump into it.

I know but usually other than maybe Black Friday they are meaningless games.
