Mickey Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Were the Bills highlights on? I watched it last night and was half asleep. I didn't see any footage from our game. I rewound the DVR and still didn't see it but I was missing the first few minutes. Was I just too sleepy or were the Bills highlights not on?

RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Inside the NFL went downhill once they stopped making the highlights the centerpiece of the show. Too many hosts, too many special features, too much lame infotainment.... ugh. Hey, you kids, get off my lawn!

Ima90sJezus Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Here is what I sent them ---> "I grew up watching ITNFL - and for the last few years it has been nothing short of painful. I am a diehard Bills fan - and we Bills fans know your shows hatered for them. Stop this love fest for Marinos Dolphins, Carters Vikings, and Collinsworths Bengals. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go back to showing all the highlights for ALL the games - stop trying to entertain us with these useless comedians. SHOW THE GAMES. Numerous occasions last year you didn't even show any Buffalo highlights and this year week 1 you are starting the trend again... This show is terrible - I'm all for bringing back Nick and Len..."

Ned Flanders Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Wait a minute...I watched the first half of ITNFL last night waiting for the linebackers show on NFL Network...you mean they showed NOT ONE highlight from the Texans game?!?!? BTW, what's up with Peter King...seems there's more plastic in his face than in Paris Hilton's wallet...christ, lay off the double lattes, Pete.

BuffOrange Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Wow, what are the chances of me reading this thread and this article just minutes apart? (Actually pretty good since I spend too much time on both sites, but that's not that point). http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...=simmons/050916 (And while we're here, could somebody alert me about something as important as the King thing next time? How does Peter manage to go Nicole Ritchie on us when he's chugging down two triple lattes a day? And if he's going to stay that skinny, couldn't HBO have hired George Wendt to play the role of Peter King this season? I'm outraged by this. Like everyone else, I like my likable/knowledgeable/jolly football analysts to look, you know, jolly. Could this be a convoluted attempt by King to distance himself from his "Longest Yard" cameo? And if it is, then why didn't John Madden do the same thing after "The Replacements" came out?) (Parentheses for the parentheses: I love "Inside the NFL." It's one of my five favorite shows -- I have even learned to enjoy Cris Carter, especially when he's being rudely interrupted. But how can a show this consistently great keep screwing up its "comedy" segments so egregiously? It's like they call meetings and say, "All right, who's the most overrated comedian in the country right now ... who's the next Wanda Sykes? Um ... what about that guy on the "Daily Show" who rants and raves and isn't actually funny? Lewis Black? That's a hot show, right? Can we get him? Someone call his agent!")

I encourage every single Bills fan on this website to write a letter to HBO, demaning they show highlights of every single game, every single week. Not only were the Bills excluded, but so were the Bengals and Browns. I guarantee you fans in those cities are pissed. Here is the link to write a complaint to HBO I would entitle your subject Inside the NFL highlights, to make sure it is directed at the right person. Lets show them there are tons of pissed of Buffalo Bills fans who won't take our team getting disrespected any longer!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of Inside the NFL, they should rename it Costas and his Merry Band of Assclowns Act Like Frickin' Idiots Most of the Broadcast and In Between There Are Football Highlights, But Not Every Game, Show...

The massive email that INFL receives everytime the mildest slight is made about Buffalo is exactly the reason that the coverage is diminished. The Marino "I love Buffalo" comment was not a compliment; it was a tongue in cheek dig by Marino and Collinsworth on how the city/fans are being stereotyped as a bunch of touch-holes. Maybe if enough email is sent in they will do a cover story on Buffalo's inferiority complex. Wouldn't that be special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They detested the team and the city and it oozed from them at every broadcast. Now it's the fair-haired Collinsworth and golden-boy Marino who keep churning out the same smack. It gets nauseating after awhile, and it's been a long time since that barrier was crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Thanks for the link, Here is the complaint I sent them, titled "Show In Decline" The show is in serious decline since the days of Len & Nick. You have turned an informative hour into a comedy. In the place of "Where are they now" we are now subject to bad stand up comics making bad jokes. Worse than your new "NFL Comedy Hour" format is the lack of highlights. It seems every time the Buffalo Bills play a good game, you eliminate them from the highlights. I don't understand the producers of the show's decision to show some games and not others. If I'm watching a show called "Inside The NFL" I expect to see a review of EVERY GAME, not just the ones that feature large market teams or fodder for the comedy. Some of us take our football seriously. Your Inside the NFL producers obviously don't. The show has declined to a bad joke. If you want to present a comedy, please rename the show to "Curb Your Enthusiasm About Seeing The NFL Taken Seriously", with permission from Larry David, of course.

eball Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 nowadays, there are so many outlets for NFL news and highlights throughout the week that i don't understand why anyone is so hot and bothered about ITNFL. how many highlight shows do you guys want? ITNFL is an entertainment hour. anybody who watches it thinking they will get yet another recap of last week's games doesn't understand the concept. personally, i don't watch it. between the "poker/x games" network and the NFL channel, i see enough highlights to make me dizzy. i don't really care for their choices as hosts, and while i think collinsworth is occasionally funny his routine gets old quickly as well. also, the "we get no respect" inferiority complex consistently displayed by buffalo fans is embarrassing. i, for one, wish it would stop. we enjoy our team -- why does it matter what some joker in the national media thinks? believe it or not, buffalo IS a small market and the majority of the country doesn't give two schitts about it. deal with it.

That's what I care about, I could give a crap about talking heads giving me their opinion on what I just saw. If some network would compete and offer a show that was nearly a total highlight reel, I bet it would get very good ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
