Richard Sandomir, of the New York Times, reports a NFL Network spokesman called premature a Business Week report saying it had picked Bryant Gumbel and Cris Collinsworth to call its eight Thursday and Saturday National Football League games. Both men would need waivers from HBO, which holds a cable exclusive on them. Collinsworth would also need to work out an accommodation with NBC, where he is scheduled to be a studio analyst for Sunday night football. Collinsworth calling three Saturday night games might be more than NBC would let him do.
