Starting tonight, there is live football on TV for 27 consecutive days

A few weeks ago, we were mighty pleased that we were heading into a stretch in which there was live football on TV for 37 of the next 40 days.

Well, that was nothing. This is even bigger: Starting tonight, there is live football on TV or your favorite streaming device every night for the next 27 days.

Again: Live football on TV every night for 27 consecutive days.

This glorious stretch runs through Tuesday, November 22. That’s the Tuesday of Thanksgiving week. There is a brief respite November 23 (we suggest you use that day to replenish supplies), then comes the five-day bacchanal that is Thanksgiving weekend football.

Here are the weeknight games during this stretch. Yes, some are better than others. But come on: It’s live football on TV on a weeknight. (And for 27 consecutive days!)
