NFL Schedule - 2022
The long awaited day has arrived. The NFL schedule for the 2022 season will be released later today and everyone (almost everyone) is anxiously awaiting to see which team will have the easiest or hardest schedule. Which games will provide the most excitement, etc. It wasn’t that long ago when the schedule was announced and the public would not see it until they read the sports page the next day. The release of the NFL schedule did not generate that much interested…think about it. The games won’t be played for another 4 months and by that time, will anyone care?
The football season is now 12 months long, so I imagine that any news is important in that it keeps the NFL in the minds of football fans. Look at the spectacle that Draft Day has become. Televised coverage for 3 days with all the fanfare that they can muster. I can understand the interest in who is selected number one or which quarterback is selected first. But three days? The only people interested in those two other days are the parents and friends of the players that have not yet been selected.
You have to give the NFL credit however…they keep coming up with these “big” days in the 12 month long campaign to keep their brand in the forefront of every football fan in the country. All we can do at this point is wait for the schedule release and then wait for the season to start.
