Transcript

Jerry Jones rolled up to the NFL owners meeting in Phoenix this week, dropping truth bombs on the league's pack schedule.

The Cowboys boss highlighted how the NFL keeps adding games, like Black Friday matchups, Christmas Day showdowns, a Friday during opening weekend, and even shift in the kickoff game to Wednesday night instead of Thursday.

That Christmas push has straight up challenged the NBA's holiday lock, grabbing prime eyeballs from hoop spans.

The league's chasing that viewer surge, expanding into new slots to keep the momentum rolling.

Mark Cuban, ex Maverick's owner, warned back in 2014 that overreaching could backfire, but Jones fired back with his signature swagger, saying basically feed the demand when fans are calling for it.

Jones credits the star players in hard work building that hype so the NFL's leaning in, scheduling more to match the appetite.

As the league keeps testing these boundaries, we'll see if feeding the beast pays off or if they push it too far.
