Not sure why it’s a week 2 double header but it is

Not sure why it’s a week 2 double header but it is

They’ve done double headers before but it’s been a west coast team as the home club for game 2 as a b2b. Not head to head. Odd

 

[John Price]

two east coast teams overlapping with each other is odd indeed

 

[GKJ]

The 2020 season where they had postponements and had to run multiple games on weekdays likeky changed the trajectory.

Not sure why it’s a week 2 double header but it is

I interpret that as "let's screw up Kirk Cousins' mental state even more".

CBS should have an alternate broadcast on Nick, which should be the norm for all its national TV games.

Way to go buddy, ya got one

Brady to Fox on lucrative deal after NFL career

Tom Brady will join Fox Sports as its lead NFL analyst when his playing career ends. The star QB's deal reportedly is the largest in sports broadcasting history at 10 years, $375 million.

The landscape is changing. The elite of the elite used to not do tv. Now we have the Mannings, Gretzky, Messier, Chelios, Brady, etc. I could see Magic. I don't think Bird and MJ will be next.

Thanksgiving feels like

Washington @ Detroit
Cincinnati @ Dallas
Buffalo @ Baltimore

Opening night Bills @ Rams

SNF opener Ravens @ Bengals. Ravens might be starting with 3 road games and the first 2 in the division.

I think the Thanksgiving games, as I mentioned in an earlier post, should be:

Jaguars-Lions
Buccaneers-Cowboys
Rams-Chiefs

The Buccaneers, Rams, and Chiefs would all be making their first Thanksgiving appearances since 2006 or in the Rams' case, 1975, while the Jaguars would be making their first ever.

I was also hoping Tom Brady one day succeed Bill Belichick as the Patriots' HC.

On Thanksgiving you don't really need the marquee matchups though. People will watch. You have that with the Jags-Lions but the other two matchups should be SNF/MNF any other week of the year. Rams, Bucs & Cowboys will also get the max of primetime games

 

[GKJ]

Raiders @ Titans to go with Broncos @ Rams on Christmas. Guessing the night game will be some NFC teams but leaks can't quite nail down who. Hope it's not Saints @ Eagles

Davis will lose the Raiders, it's a matter of time before some Vegas billionaire buys the team

Most likely the Davis family loses control of the Raiders once the Matriarch of the family, Carol Davis passes. Once control passes to Mark, there is a massive inheritance tax to pay. Davis doesn't have the money to pay it off.

The same would apply to a couple of the other long time NFL families. If they don't have other business interests aside from the football team. Denver is reportedly likely to sell for close to $5 billion dollars, making the value of other teams similar. These teams have been in the family for decades, so the appreciation in value is now Billions.

Raiders have Mullens and Gilbert behind Carr. I believe both have played more than Stidham. But the new staff is from NE so he would know the system better than the other 2.

The leaker I was following now admits they’re fake, which I guess is easy to say once some of the reporting proves you wrong, but at least they admitted it, saw some people I knew RT’ing them which is why I paid attention.

Some of them were following him is the point

It's not even the first year that person has faked leaking games. Seems like every year they create a new account with the NFL logo with the title "NFL Schedule Leaks" and starts making shit up.

Miami Herald reporting Miami will host the Pats in Week 1 - Tua vs. Mac.
