Apparently the NFL doesn't want the Thursday Night game to be seen by the general public. But for those who have NFL + or Prime Video a couple of hundred fans are good to go.

Pretty sure Amazon bought the rights for Thursday Night Football. They have a game scheduled each week from Week 2 thru Week 17.

On September 21 in Baseball History...
Click to expand...
  • 1922 - The Americna League reinstates the Most Valuable Player award, last given in 1914, appointing a committee of one writer from each city. The trophy goes to George Sisler. The National League will pick up the idea two years later.

  • 1923 - Babe Ruth is the unanimous choice of the American League committee of baseball writers for the Most Valuable Player Award.

  • 1934 - Dizzy Dean of the St. Louis Cardinals pitched a no-hitter against the Brooklyn Dodgers for 3-0 victory in the second game of an Ebbets Field doubleheader.

  • 1939- The National League announces that for the first time in the 20th century, games will be transferred from one city to another. A doubleheader in Philadelphia will be moved to Brooklyn in an effort to top one million paid attendance.

  • 1944 - After a 5-15 stretch that ate away a chunk of their 20-game lead, the Cardinals finally clinch the National League flag with a 5-4 win over Boston. They will finish with 105 victories and their third title under Billy Southworth, whose clubs won 316 games in three years.

  • 1952- The Braves play their last game in Boston's Braves Field before moving to Milwaukee, losing to Brooklyn's Joe Black 8-2. The crowd of 8,822 is the second largest of the season at the ballpark.

  • 1957 - Gail Harris is the last player to hit a home run as a New York Giant in a 9-5 win over the Pirates in the second game of a doubleheader. Ruben Gomez gains the last victory for the New York Giants.

  • 1959 - Warren Spahn notches his 20th win and his 266th National League victory to tie Eppa Rixey of the Phils and Reds for the career high in wins by a left-hander. The Braves and the Dodgers are now tied for the lead in the three-team pennant race.

  • 1964 - Manager Gene Mauch's first-place Phillies lost 1-0 to the Cincinnati Reds on Chico Ruiz's steal of home in the sixth inning. It was Philadelphia's first of ten straight losses, a streak that cost the National League pennant.

  • 1970 - Oakland's Vida Blue pitched a no-hitter in his eighth Major League start, beating Minnesota 6-0.

  • 1981 - Steve Carlton struck out Andre Dawson in the third inning for the left-hander's 3,118th career strikeout, the most in the National League. But the Philadelphia Phillies lost to Montreal, 1-0 in 17 innings.

  • 1982 - Playing against the Royals at Anaheim Stadium, outfielders Fred Lynn and Brian Downing crash through the left field fence while trying to catch a fly ball. Lynn makes the catch and it is ruled an out, the umpires reasoning that it is the same as if he had tumbled into the seats.

  • 1986 - No. 1 draft pick Jimmy Jones pitched a one-hitter in his Major League debut, leading the San Diego Padres to a 5-0 victory over the Houston Astros.

  • 1987 - Darryl Strawberry joins Howard Johnson as the first teammates ever to achieve 30 homers and 30 steals in the same season.

  • 1995 - Colorado's John Vander Wal set a Major League record with his 26th pinch-hit of the season, a home run in the seventh inning against San Francisco.

  • 1997 - Mike Piazza becomes the first Dodger, and the first player in 25 years, to hit a ball out of Dodger Stadium. Piazza's 478-foot drive off Colorado's Frank Castillo bounces off the left field pavilion roof. Pittsburgh's Willie Stargell was the only other player to hit a ball out of the stadium (in right field), accomplishing the feat in both 1969 and 1973.

Jerry on the phone already wheeling and dealing....Trey Lance could be a trade for CB🤔🤔🤔🤔

If Jerry knew how to draft players he'd have no concern w/his stable of CBs.
One player on defense getting hurt shouldn't be the end of the Cowboys season.
They should have other players to go in & do the same as Diggs does with no drop off.

I thought that was what you were doing. But it is what it is. I'm not crying. Cowboys will have to suck it up & play through a players injury. Dak went down a year or so ago & they have to learn to play together to get the job done.
