open letter to the NFL
I love the NFL. You have the best Professional Sports Product in the world. I have always been a fan. I remember watching the old AFL/NFL rivalry. I had Len Dawson & Dick Butkus posters on my wall. I enjoy Thanksgiving day games. The NFL is fun to watch even when your team(s) aren’t in the playoffs.
As a kid I loved December NFL games. Why? Because the college regular season was over and the NFL would show 2 games on Saturday afternoons. Then enter the NFL Network. I’m one of the few households who receives the NFL Network since we have Dish Network. I actually like watching it.
Yet I have one beef. Since last year when the NFL Network started showing games after Thanksgiving there are no more CBS and FOX Saturday afternoon football games. I don’t want to watch a Saturday night game. Please let Troy Aikman and Joe Buck (FOX) or Jim Nance and Phil Sims (CBS) do Saturday afternoon games again. I miss them!

Yea, NFL! Go Skins!
Amen! Bob Costas is atrocious - I almost have to turn the volume down and search for it on the radio just to watch it.
Oops! I meant Bryant Gumbel. I am not a fan of either generally speaking anyways - but trying to listen to Gumbel and follow what’s going on in the game… ugh!
