ESPN will televise a Wild Card playoff game during 2014 season,

Well that sucks.

 

[CowboyStar88]

I hate ESPN and avoid that channel whenever I can.

 

[Nova]

Boo ESPN. Hooray NBC.

Dotto the BSPN sux sentiment

Kinda crappy, NFL was the only game in town where you could watch every playoff game OTA. Sports continue to be the only reason I have to put up with obnoxious cable bills.

NFL continues to make more stupid decisions by the day.

 

[Doomsday101]

I don't care if it is the cartoon channel showing the playoffs, I watch it for the game not the network.

 

[Alexander]

Well that sucks.

No kidding. I wonder what B team announcers they line up for that.

Some people can't afford cable or satellite. It's really sad where it's headed.

I agree

ESPN? Really? My only expectations from that is crappy announcers.

 

[Fredd]

They (ESPN) will bring in some re-tread ex-NFL player to do the color commentary...it will be painful to the ears....but, it is football, and thus, I will watch

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Probably their regular MNF B-team...

Although I don't hate Tirico and Gruden so much. It's more the pregame show and the overall production. Just seems cheesy to me.

Plus as SK said, I hate that it's cable/satellite only.

Figures after I cancelled cable. Oh well, I'll go over to my neighbors.

Roger Goodell @ his finest

They already took MNF away but I guess that wasn't good enough. Now they want to make us pay for playoff games. What a crock.

You gotta have some tricks up your sleeve, none of which are legal. Pretty crappy.

All pregame shows cram so much fluff and so many ex-player analysts into an hour that they've lost any sense of dignity. It's all spectacle. Fox has five guys on the main pregame set. That's far too many. Four was pushing it.

Exactly.
