Whoa... :blink:

Then again...

ESPN will continue to make its NFL games available on free, over-the-air television in the participating team markets each week.

I seem to recall having to pay for basic cable. Guess according to this putz I've been getting screwed all these years.

although they did just cut like the viewing population in half, even if they still show it in the hometown.

Who didn't see this coming? Slowly the major leagues are turning to cable more and more. Doesn't the NBA air its entire playoffs, aside from the Finals, on cable? It's jsut going to continue. On PTI today they said 90% of homes have TVs in the U.S. and 70% of those have cable. That doesn't include satellite. Granted, here you're not really losing any games per week since NBC is picking up the Sunday Night game. And it doesn't necessarily mean Madden is out since, as I'm sure everyone knows, ABC and ESPN are both owned by Disney. He also contributed on ESPN's Monday Night Countdown each week so he had a relationship with ESPN already.

What a dumb move by NBC. The Sunday night games have been anything but "great" the past 5 years or so...wow, Jacksonville at Cincinnati...woohoo!!! ESPN, I'm sure, was happy to exchange Sunday night for Monday night.

Man, when NBC lost the NBA a few years ago, they also lost their minds.

And as far as announcers, I'll be happy with either Al Michaels & John Madden or the Sunday night crew from ESPN. Gary Thorn wouldn't be bad either, considering he has no NHL to broadcast.

rajput, to answer your question, yes it HAS had it from the beginning. And soloredd supposedly they're going to experiment with that flexible schedule so that feautre games can be moved around in the time slots.

NBC will devote its entire Sunday night prime-time lineup to the NFL. The Sunday night games will start at 8:15 p.m. ET and include flexible scheduling for the final seven weeks of the season, details of which will be developed by the league. Source

I hope they do go for an earlier start time. Also, I really wich they'd move the Super Bowl to Saturday, so I can more properly get my drink on without worrying about work on Monday. :beer:

Something positive from this? Maybe just maybe.. Madden will do the MNF still on ESPN.. and NBC will not hire Joe to do Sunday nights..and thus NO MORE JOE. I'm sorry to fans that like him, but to me he's a jerk. And I much rather hear Madden then Joe!

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
