Thursday Night Football on Saturday is just so silly

The NFL returns to Saturday next week with two games and to promote it, of course NFL Network and CBS are calling it “Thursday Night Football: Saturday Edition.”

This happens every time the NFL plays a Saturday game under the Thursday night television contract.  And look, I understand the importance of the #brand and everything, but is this really necessary?  Do you really need to call Saturday football “Thursday football on Saturday” instead of just “Saturday football?”  This is just so non-sensical for a #brand to overpower what day of the week it actually is.
