Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 I already have ESPN + for MMA and college sports so this is great.
Thrivefourfive Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 You pay for ESPN in your regular package, and then you pay again. And the AT&T / DirevTv CEO makes $40mil a year. Sound good....? 1

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 This is amazing news! Hopefully it will be solid highlights for each and every game, not 10 seconds for one and 3 minutes for another

Expand i know they originally lost the ability to do Primetime when NBC got the Sunday Night Package. NBC paid so much for the games, they got that Sunday night 7-8:30 window exclusive for highlights show. Sure ESPN now has figured out that does not covering a streaming only chanell.

Livinginthepast Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) For people of a certain age (born before 1975) this show represents everything that was great about the NFL. Great in depth highlights, great analysis, great humour and Chris Berman who loved the Buffalo Bills. It was an utter travesty that the idiots in the league agreed with the Aholes at NBC that ESPN could no longer run NFL primetime at 7PM on Sundays. Why? because it might distract viewers from NBC's epically lame football night in America highlights which basically was weak in all the areas where Primetime was strong. ESPN for their part should have pressed on with the show with full support but instead ran it in a different slot where it withered and died. Edited September 15, 2019 by Livinginthepast 3

Expand His wife was 3x over the limit and killed someone just going about his day. I imagine he had some idea of her drunk driving habits and have little sympathy towards him in this regard, though I imagine the emotions of someone whose partner’s reckless and selfish behavior took someone’s life are unimaginably complex.
