Don’t put Jamie Dukes on, and all will be ok.

This isn’t going to be a disaster.

I’m in favor as long as:

1) Tennis doesn’t cause the show to jump channels every week

2) None of the hosts pimp their Dancing with the Stars competition instead of talking football

3) No ten minute segments with Brits giving updates on Euro soccer match results

I’ll watch. Kriegel is a really good writer and I like his show Barfly on FOX Sports. Wyche and Davis are two ex-players that avoid most of the pitfalls of jocks-turned-broadcasters.

Seth Payne should be on this too…dude is HILARIOUS and also very smart about the game.

It’s too bad Matt Chatham is running his startup business. I’d love it if he were on this show.
Yes he was a Patriot (and a Jet too) but he’s a very very smart guy and very insightful on the game.

As for the above poster on Mangini, he’d probably jump over…we all know he isn’t exactly loyal.

Everyday they will have a contest, what did warren Sapp just say?

Maybe Ann Curry can host.

Thank goodness. No longer will I have to start my day with “dumb and dumber”, or Dan (I’m in an Adam Sandler movie) and his stooges. Only people worth stealing from ESPN are Eric Mangini and Ron Jaworski. Mangini will be better in studio than Steve (I once coached Brett) Mariucci, and Jaws would be better than Mike Mayock on Thursday Night Football.

Let’ hope they refrain from the “dueling ex-sportswriters” segments that ESPN has made a permanent part of their programming.

It’s also interesting how they didn’t go after Erin Andrews. Her contract with ESPN is almost up and it’s pretty clear (see her very short stint on GMA) that they don’t see her as having any more upside to ABC. Unless she was asking too much money it would have been a good move for her.

As long as it doesn’t have Michael Irvin or Warren Sapp, I’ll watch.

I hope it is better than Total Access. When Rich Eisen left.. bottom….. i hardly watch NFL Network any more.

Hi… My name is Bob and I’m an NFL junkie.

I’ll be tuning in.

Too bad I can’t watch it. And I live in the heart of football country and minutes from Valley Ranch. Go Time Warner!

Maybe someday soon they can expand into more markets so that everyone can get the NFL network. I live in Florida, there are 3 NFL teams in this state, and we still do not get the NFL network. Directv cuts out in hurricanes & rain storms here so cable is what we have. I have asked my cable provider & the NFL network every year about expanding into this market- no dice.

They could call it “Tebow Today”

Anything … anything would have to be better than Screamin’ A. Smith and Skippy the Tebow Lover.

I like the NFL as much as the next guy but I think they are going a little overboard with the 24 hour off season coverage.

It’s about damn time.

They’ve been letting ESPN get the jump on them for ever.

They should also be more nimble and go to live coverage of breaking news. Instead we have to go to ESPN while the NFL Network is showing Football Follies or a rerun of a Top Ten show.

This is fine with me. This is what this channel should be all about. Listening to retired NFL athletes and actual experts discussing football is always a breath of fresh air when compared to the smegma dripping out of ESPN. I can finally watch some news in the morning without wanting to put my head in the microwave.

“It’s mind-boggling how much content is out there,” NFLN executive producer Eric Weinberger told Hiestand.

Yeah. So why fill up four hours with crap like this? Everytime they start a talking head show, it’s abysmal. How about running replays of classic playoff games instead?

Anything will be better than having to listen to two dopes attempting to talk sports.

Espn already does every sport and they have hours of replayed footage …

Players, be prepared for your personal lives to be invaded in on just a little bit more.. lol

Can’t get enough of a good thing, I love the idea. Thus show should be quite interesting.
