This is more compelling and entertaining than the Thursday night games. Well done sir.
😂 the comments are almost as good as the video 😆
That's not actually that hard tho tbf
Ravens bengals literally is next TNF so they have some better games.
Well…ya never know until the season gets going just how good the match ups will be. Oh ok….sans Bears & Commanders 😮
There is a tempest within me!!@@CorePathway
The scriptwriter saga is my favorite development to the Grossi lore.
I wonder who is more powerful, Scriptwriter or Blood Demon?
@@jamesbailey4304I’m honestly waiting for the reveal they’re the same entity. The script writing saying “There’s checks and balances to these things” make me think they might be related somehow
@@jamesbailey4304 Gonna have to go with the Ref...
Same!
The writer is AWESOME
Nominate Tom Grossi for actor of the year. Seriously this "If The NFL Was Scripted" skits is absolute gold. 😂
Don’t stop at just actor of the year. Go ahead and throw in director and producer of the year. You can even throw in best supporting actor as well! 😂
Oh, you think he's been _acting?_
What about all the other actors? He has like a dozen people in those sketches
As a Bears fan, I want to apologize to America for having to watch that game this past Thursday
Well you are 2-0 this year
@@chazztreat8317True. We should play on Thursday all of the time!
@@aaronwinterfield1254 and have the vikings play only primetime games! oh wait kirk is gone....
you should from a Lions fan
No problem. It was on Amazon so have the country didn't see it.
Whoever played the Amazon representative did a great job. You should bring him back for future episodes.
It's amazing how many ways you can make a terrible game look enticing before the season starts
I feel like Monday Night Football is scheduled the sane way.
@@TheFrenchPug monday night is signifigantly better, better teams with more prep time
@@SM-ys8lw 90% have been blowouts though.
The “YOU SON OF A…” was phenomenal at the end
Peak comedy right there
That ending was priceless 😂😂😂
04:22
I wasn't expecting a Tommy DeVito/ Zach Wilson joke, but it was right in front of my face the whole time.
Best
ending
ever.
I swear this man never takes a day off. The grind is real, and we appreciate it. Thanks Tom.
i thought you were talking about the script writter.
day off? hell id be surprised if he took more than a couple hours off
When you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life
RIGHT?? SO ON POINT WITH THAT COMMENT!
Agreed
The Script Writers right eye twitch when he said “Aaron Rodgers will be there” had me rolling. 😅❤
So he could drop another "Bong"!!!! Lol!!
Tom is a better actor than half of the actors nowadays ☠️🤣
...at the very least!
@@obsidian00lol
So true. This man doesn't get enough credit.
he was suppose to be on SNL, but he chose to be a teacher instead. no BS
Calling it right now he’s gonna be in a Super Bowl commercial one day
"If Tommy DeVito is living with his mom, and then we bring in Zach Wilson..."
Best line ever!!!!!
Tom needs to be hired as the new NFL script writer for how well his acting chops are... just as long as he doesn't touch the NFC North.
Fun Fact: Thursday was the deadline to flex out Patriots vs Steelers out of Week 14’s TNF.
I mean 5 years ago people would have cared about that game. Maybe they won't notice the passage of time?
@@edenwilde2719Jesse James caught that ball
To be fair, the Patriots are being flexed off the North American continent this week.
@@edenwilde2719 I expect it to go down to the wire, & suck all along the way...
@@chizoramasame, -10 to 0 the final score
I love how the amazon employee waited 10 WHOLE WEEKS before deciding that NOW was enough pain and suffering 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, kinda somewhat unrealistic a bit there, but I'd still give Tom an A+
At least next week they get a pretty big AFCN matchup
Well the Panthers/Bears game was offensively bad. Hard to imagine it getting much worse than that.
Panthers/Bears must’ve been the game to push him over the edge.
@@boltstrike2787 You may have just cursed us…
As a Jets fan, i could not be more horrified by the fact of there being multiple prime time games left with them olaying in it.
I feel the same when I see the broncos on prime time. I'm gonna apologize for monday right now
The typo is actually a more accurate representation of what your team's been doing. That's rough, buddy :/
The Jets and Raiders bored me half to death just now.
😴
As a Panthers fan, I'd like to offer my sincerest apologies for viewers having to endure that
at least you will have the top pick- oh, wait you traded it to the bears
There's nothing that could ever make me feel bad for Amaz....
You are correct.
Especially after they produced that piece of dung about the 'Rings of Power'.
Rings of power doesn’t exist
I've been working for a DSP under Amazon for the last two years. They literally are satan and I refuse to buy through them. Can't wait to move onto another job.
@@silentstorm5439 I choose to ignore it and I'm glad others do as well.
This opened my eyes to the fact that the nfl really did try to make Thursday night football good but the football gods smited Amazon to the 9th circle
pass the spliffendor
My genuine thoughts on why TNF is so bad on Amazon.
NFL knows (or at least suspects) the viewership numbers are very VERY bad. But they agreed to this contract and so they have to give Amazon games to air.
Nobody said they have to be good games, however.
Thursday night football is up over 19% over last years numbers at this time
The scriptwriter series is literally the best content Grossi has ever made! Keep it coming!
The ending when Jeff comes back in furious had me laughing for 30 minutes this was great 😂. I miss having Thursday Night Football on Fox it was so much better.
Yea better matchups
It's hilarious how nothing's really changed, and the Thursday Night Football games continue to be hot dog shit. I mean, considering how most people don't have Amazon Prime, it's not a shock that they dump all the trash games (LV vs. LAC, WASH vs. CHI, ETC) to them. Also, another gem as always, Tom. :) Keep on channeling that sweet script writer chaos energy.
You can watch all the Amazon games for free on Twitch too
I have Prime and don’t watch Thursday games anymore.
I’m pretty sure you don’t need prime to watch it
You don't need prime the games are all free on TWITCH which is owned by AMAZON. I'm Amazed people don't know this
The games are free to watch on twitch. No amazon prime needed.
PrimeTime needs Deion Sanders to return and play for any team on Thursdays 😂😂
This is the dumbest comment I've ever seen
No I want Leon Sandcastle. That guy was the goat. The true primetime we need
My problem with Thursday football is not the matchups, it’s the fact that teams are playing with only 3 days rest. It show the NFL’s basic contempt for player’s health.
Hockey laughs at this comment
Plus traveling unfair 😊
Well get ready for Wednesday night football!
"Sadly, Amazon Tom never got those kitchen cabinets. However, he was able to pull a nice big cardboard box that once *held* cabinets out of a dumpster behind the Lowes."
*Amazon Tom is now living out of that box*
“Let’s add in a punt return touchdown so it will get on ESPN”
It's very hard to schedule good games well before the season even starts.
I feel like "We'll bring in the mayo man to spice things up" is not getting the appreciation it deserves. Such a good line.
Amazon: "Hey, Week 11 Bengals vs Ravens, finally we have a good TNF game!"
Script Writer: "Joe Burrow suffers a season-ending wrist injury in the second quarter."
Amazon: "Motherfu-"
The way you truly accurately depict all walks of life when it comes to football and those various reactions of each group of people is incredible and amazing
It sucks because NFL Prioritizes Bigger markets and ratings over actual good matchups. Also some of the teams are just worse than expected.
Right? but seeing as how most of the games are on Amazon and Twitch, like - no one cares what teams are playing... it's almost as if they don't understand how Television works? I don't know man. but yeah you're right.
Also, it's the way they choose matchups.
-6 games against division rivals (3 home, 3 away)
-All teams from two different divisions (one NFC, one AFC)
-3 intracomfrence games
@@jdb2002 I get they’re limited by a schedule pattern but they could atleast flex
It's called SPORT for a reason .
Every game on earth is a game of chance and luck .
As a Bears fan:
1. I'm sorry everyone... (Internal Monologue: wooo! draft picks) with that out of the way.
2. So glad that TG was able to create this, with all of the... interesting TNF games heading our way.
As a Bears Fan:
#1: I'm not apologizing for anything, a win is a win even if it's on a crap season, the draft picks are just the cherry on top.
#2: Absolutely. The "Crap, I thought that'd work." had me rolling.
This. This right here is why you deserve FAN OF THE YEAR
The St. Jude campaign is the #1 but this as the #2 reason should make him untouchable.
@@jasonjanisewski78 your right about that
In todays game 3 days rest just isn’t enough to have a good product out there
I’ve been waiting for this one, well done Tom
Watching this made me wonder if the NFL secretly hates Amazon and threw all the bad games their way.
like, all of them too...
The NFL likes money
That Tommy Devito 's mom joke at the end got me off guard!
'YOU SON OF A' What a brilliant video that's probably what all the bosses at Amazon are saying each and every single Thursday oh well at least we got Ravens vs Bengals next week and I believe Seahawks vs 49ers the week after
I mean, Hawks & Niners are part of the Thanksgiving bonanza. I don't think they're locked to Amazon prime (thank the Lord)
@@internetzenmaster8952 I'll have to double check that then
well, tnf is a separate scheduling nightmare. Every team has to play on thursday night, once, sometimes you have to take what you got.
Edit: and great job again Tom, almost forgot >:P
Ravens vs Bengals next Thursday night might have more viewers than the last 8 weeks of TNF combined
Really how did the Bears get two Thursday night games? Did we think they were going to be good this year?
So excellent! Your videos are just so entertaining and fun, love the creativity! All us football fans can relate!
This video was great! Nice work Tom.
Your creativity is astounding!
One of the BEST channels on the Net! Thanks Tom, you keep things fun!
Every time I open this app I hope you have something new. You always deliver. Thanks Tom.
The part about Devitos mom and Zach Wison. 💀💀💀
Bengals vs Ravens next week should be a great game
One of the best parts of watching TNF, is watching the ads about how AWS makes the NFL schedule. So who gives Prime these games? Amazon.
In my darkest of hearts I kind of want the next video to continue and this ending to never be addressed
“Bears vs Panthers. Think about the views”
That Thursday Rams v Raiders game last season with that Baker Mayfield Comeback was insane.
Love your video, Tom grossi, and keep up the great work
This video was amazing!
Can you do a part two of this video after week 18?
Remember when the broncos and panthers went to the Super Bowl, they are probably looking down at them now and feeling pretty disappointed
The last scene, being now today was great and is very funny. You should do more with that!
So, I played in HS and then for years in the military (not even full contact) and playing 4 days after the last game...that's tricky. I know these guys are elite athletes but still. In HS we played on Friday night, watched film on Sunday night, practiced in pads Monday but no one could really move well and contact hurt (we were just trying to implement the next game plan), Tuesday was a regular practice but with lots of drills trying to shake out the kinks, and then Wednesday, you actually felt like you could go through practice at full speed. Thursday was a walk through in shorts and Friday was game day again....so, as teenagers with a ton of growth hormone and testosterone naturally, it was 5 days before we weren't "stove up" and sluggish.
Steroids would help you heal faster and be ready to play again sooner, oh wait can't do that...
I'm still tryna figure out why Amazon signed up for that crap. Even Monday night games are better.
The offensive ineptitud we saw in that Bears vs Panthers game was impressive
Another awesome video Tom appreciate you
my amazon hasn't even worked the last three weeks. Everything else does but I can't ever get the game to load.
I missed almost half of Thursday and I was so happy
Bengals-Ravens got a lot of hype only for everyone to get injured and for Baltimore to win easily. Just abolish TNF.
It's hard on the players' bodies, too. I don't think the players want to play on Thursday.
If Thursday Night NFL disappears tomorrow, I wouldn't be disappointed.
İ feel like before the season the next three games looked promising. Some never looked that way like this week's game
Tom, don’t let anyone tell you to stop doing this type of video format. Keep doing you
As a NFL script writer I can confirm this is how it happens
Well next week should be better. We’ve got Ravens vs Bengals next week TNF next week
but what amazon does not know is that aaron rodgers wont play because of his achillies
Great work! Congrats Tom.
Thanks for making horrible games so much fun!
This is so accurate, i dont even wanna bet on thursday games
Chicago, New York and LA are always going to be on Prime Time - the greed has to account for viewers & those 3 are the biggest markets. But to be fair, going into the season & when writing up the schedule, the NFL had every reason to believe the 2 New York teams were going to be watchable & draw viewers - no one saw what's happened coming. The problem is their unwillingness to opt out of trashy content - despite having the Flex scheduling mechanism in play.
Sometimes i forget that this is ALL just Tom talking to himself. Like all of it. The man is just THAT good.
It's funny because AMAZON is the one that calculated the schedule this year.
So they did this to themselves. I was kinda waiting for that punchline that never came.
Like I get that he was "happy" for the schedule but literally anyone knew that none of those games would be competitive or even entertaining at all so the punchline was kinda lost in there.
I wonder if Al Michaels regrets going to TNF but at the same time, he's about as good as the games are so it seems appropriate.
I forgot it was Thursday and went to check who was playing on Amazon prime, switched back to Home Alone, which I've already watched 17 times this year.
As an Amazon employee..... I do concur, this is the exact way management acts.. in ALL situations
The NFL script writer might be my favorite character Tom's created so far
My wife was in labor all this past Thursday and gave birth early Friday morning. On Saturday I realized I had no idea who had played on Thursday night and hadn't thought about it at all. Looked it up and saw it was Bears Panthers and was like oh ok didn't miss anything
"Every team has to shine (or have an opportunity) on primetime!" -NFL
"Yeah...no." -Everyone
The fun part is there a Amazon commerical about that technique they own that helps the NFL makes their schedule, and yet they end up with such bad tnfs :p
I can’t believe he talked his way out of that without even mentioning Ravens Bengals
Maybe the NFL should rethink having games on Thursday night outside of Thanksgiving.
I just love these skits. More, please!
The positive reaction to the Bears and Panthers game after knowing it to have been one of the most boring games in football is just too good.
Amazing! Well done sir.
What next, Commanders vs Bears next year on TNF again?
"I can get new kitchen cabinets baby !!" LOL
I totally knew he was coming back to yell at the script writer, and I still laughed my ass off when he did. Loved it.
Tom, you're hilarious 🤣. ABSOLUTELY love your content!
This, kids, is why we don’t trust AI.
I’ve seen the commercials bragging about how AI is used to build the NFL schedule … and, I never thought about it before, but it explains all bad Prime Time games. Everything that Amazon said is logical, like something that an algorithm would create. However, there’s no real-world understanding of the NFL or the game of football.
It’s actually pretty creepy …
Thursday night football is so bad that the NFL has thought about having the Packers play on Thursday every week…ooooooohhhhhhh
Good to know I'm not missing much with no Amazon Prime.
Forgot Lions beating the SB Champs on banner raising night in KC. That’s how you kick off the season!
yo you should watch the cortaca jug game next year.
Just had to be reminded out of all the streaming services to pay for I picked prime for football.
Tom you absolutely kill it with the " If the NFL was Scripted". I told one of my buddies that you should be on a pre game show for the NFL just like when they have Frank Caliendo on. Thank You for bringing laughter and lifting our spirits with everything going on outside of football. Tom if you make it back to Arizona drop me a line. I'm a Professional Golfer and would love to hook you up when you're out here. Come in the next 5 months though, summer just ended but it'll creep back before we know it. Have a Great Thanksgiving brotha and Thank You again for your comedy. Luv it.
Grossi, you never miss a beat. The facial expressions were so perfect. 🤣🤣
You didn’t have to cook my giants like that 😂😂😂
