I think that it is more that he wants the NFL Weekend to become a Thursday-Sunday affair.
Friday night games will be easy enough to do. You can throw a few cameras at a local high school game in the same city. And do a couple of highlights of those games during the telecast. Also donate $5,000 to each high school's athletic department. "The NFL celebrates high school football" or some such thing. It is actually easier for the NFL to come on Friday night instead of the NCAA b/c the NFL does not have to actually worry about pissing off the high schools for recruiting purposes.
Saturday games will be a little harder to do because college football has taken over the entire day.
But it would not shock me in the next TV contract to see Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday games as part of the package.
