ESPN Online Guide Lists April 14 Schedule Release Show

In past years, folks who find themselves obsessed with the looming release of the coming campaign’s regular-season schedule have scoped out the NFL Network online schedule for evidence of the date and time on which the slate of games will be publicized. This year, ESPN apparently has let the cat out of the bag. A reader has sent us a link to the ESPN online television schedule, and it currently (as of this posting) shows a “SportsCenter Schedule Release Special” for April 14 at 2:00 p.m. If that’s indeed the scheduled release time for the release of the schedule, NFLN has yet to tip its hand. For April 14 at 2:00 p.m., NFL Network is scheduled to air an episode of Path To The Draft. A league source recently explained to us that the week of April 13 is the most likely target for the release of the schedule, since the baseball season launches and the Masters will be played next week.
