Eagles Vikings????? not that exciting.

I like the Bills/Titans.

Wonder why week 2, and not week 1.

I would be excited as to the Eagles losing to the Vikings.

Bills - Titans will be a good game though.

Aikman/Buck will be really drunk now...

Maybe they'll start singing "Take me out to the Ballgame" Harry Caray style.

...wow!, how well you look, without stress. First time they actually appear enjoying the job.

Laughing all the way to the bank!

You got that right. Insane what announcers are paid now.

It really is. I think there’s currently a ‘bubble’ created by a diverse group of broadcasting partners with the NFL. And a few ‘name guys’ were able to capitalize on that to get huge paydays.

But I expect that bubble to quickly burst and things to even out pretty quickly as more people get the opportunity to show what they can do in the job.

Buck, Aikman, and Al Michaels struck while the iron was hot, and networks were desperate for names.

Aikman and Buck should get to pick the games that are on Monday night.

Not really, the nfl games are cash cows to fox and cbs, so it makes sense they would want the best announcers, and pay them big money.

I dont think it is a bubble,
cbs and fox make a ton of money off nfl games , and sometimes cbs and fox have games on at same time. So they will do all they can to get fans to
watch their game . the networks highest ratings are nfl games, so they make a lot off advertising for those games.

Cbs was smart to grab romo, and then extend him, espn was smart to get aikman and buck, as they were hurting in the announcer area.
They should do more to find new talent. and pay them big if they are good.

I like the MNF doubleheader thing.

It seems to work well week one, not sure why they haven't gone there all season yet, but....

Wonder why week 2, and not week 1.

The league is trying to increase the viewship of its games on MNF overall.

Don't need it every week IMO. The first two weeks are ok.
I like the two matchups - one AFC, one NFC matchup. Three teams from last postseason.

 

[Jipper]

I'd rather have a double-header every Monday and no Thursday games honestly

Eagles Vikings????? not that exciting.

I like the Bills/Titans.

Vikings at Eagles also piques my interest.
NFC East is playing the NFC North this upcoming season...so that's four common opponents Dallas and Philadelphia have.
