The NFL does not give a rats ass about the players on the field or the fans in the stands. All they care about is TV ratings. They schedule games at night...in January. Take a step back and let the back of your mind repeat that. Because the back of your mind thinks that sounds crazy. Football was not created as a winter sport. Football was scheduled to be over before Christmas. ( check the early years of the NFL )
And were most games day games before television became king?

I believe that night games started with Monday Night Football.

The NFL played night games well before MNF, I would guess on Saturday nights.
In fact, the Browns first game in the NFL vs the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles was a night game.
Really? I stand corrected. I wasn't aware.
But they weren't playing in January. And I don't think baseball should be played in November at night.
Personally, I don't think people should be playing prolonged sports games in the heat of the day in July & August either. It's too friggin' hot. I tell my foursome, Golf should be 16 holes. And still that only gets it down to 4 hours in the hot sun. OK...I'm done ranting about the climate.

You are right because The Browns won their last Championship about 2 weeks or so before I was born.. which was on Jan 7th.. The Browns 64 championship was on Dec 27th..

Oh absolutely.
I was at the MNF game last season vs the Steelers, in September, and froze my ass off.
I can't imagine going to a night game in December or January in Cleveland. That is insane.
And here's something really crazy, and I know I would be in the vast minority:
I'd make EVERY pro league's regular season shorter. 60 or so game NBA schedule. 140 or so MLB schedule. I'd probably be fine with a 14 game NFL schedule. 10 high school.... 12 college.... 14 NFL makes sense to me. It's going to be 18 before we know it, and by the time the playoffs come around you'll be lucky to have half of your original starters.

...I've said that too.
Yup, all of the seasons are too long. I just saw that Orchard Park just got 28" of new snow. It's friggin' mid-winter.

Believe me I'd rather go out 4 hours in the hot sun than spend 15 min. in 24F weather with a 10 mph N wind checking on my outside faucets and my kids outside faucets which is what I am about to do about an hour from now. And God forbid even one of them frozen up because then I get under a heavy comforter using a hot hair dryer on the faucet until the water flows freely again. Last big Arctic blast a couple of years back it took me over an hour on each of my kids' because he forgot to put them on drip before we hit the mid-teens. Holy fuck that was one cold morning. Thank goodness I was smart enough to get me and the fully running dryer under that heavy comforter which helped keep the air under it warm enough to stand it that long. And people who go ice fishing are deranged IMO.?️?

So you're the curse. A piece of dog shit is born and then the Browns never win another championship - sounds about right.

If I was in charge, I would tell all teams that by 2030 no team could host a post season game unless it was in a domed stadium . There is no excuse to play the game in crap conditions.
Teams and local communities could still have open air stadiums. They just wouldn't be able to host a game. The game would have to be played at a neutral site. Season ticket holders would still have the rights to their tickets. They would just have to travel to the neutral site.
