Both should fire everyone and start over with professional sports analysts.

I really cannot take former players who have double-digit IQs and their stupid opinions about anything.

Can you say "consolidation"???  The media landscape is going to be a bloodsport as networks

merge, there are fewer jobs and management wants to cut costs

Surprising. Siciliano was on Sirius NFL Radio the other day which was surprising. I also like his Red Zone better but i think the vast majority favor Hanson. When I say the headline I was sure Wolfe was one. It has become not so great a network any more though. ESPN will turn it into more argument shows.

I don't mind an ex-player as one part of a 2 or 3 man booth for game broadcasts.  Brings some real world experience and knowledge, which is often good (albeit maybe not Romo-levels).

But for non-game Football Shows/Analysis Shows, no.  I'd prefer far fewer ex-players/ex-coaches.  Pipe dream tho, the future is a set with a half dozen of the loudest yellers with the loudest outfits that previous played in the league, lol.

I find Whitworth and Sherman on Amazon Prime TNF to be pretty bad.

Whitworth looks like he has no pulse up there and unless he’s trashing Zach Wilson 🤣 Sherman is annoying and often wrong.

Fitz is mildly entertaining.

I have no idea what to think or forecast about them selling out to espn. On one hand, espn is generally pretty ******* awful with all their fake drama and argumentative TV, but on the few occasions that they actually want to produce quality content, they're very good at it. 

GMFB with Kyle Brant, Peter Schrager, Jamie Eardahl and Jason Mccourty was very good; sometimes great; this past August to February. If nothing else, they're all clearly diehard football fans with great recall, so just having them talk knowledgeable football was good to have on TV. Other than that, there really was no draw to NFLN for me.

Well they moved GMFB to Los Angelos, and I believe Peter Shragger isn't moving out there.

After the Jaguars game last year Fitz flat out said Wilson didn’t care about football and the entire locker room felt the same way.

What’s going on at NFL Network? For a league that prints money why are they going cheap on their network?

Because nobody watches their shows other than games and the draft. It's a lot of overhead for stuff that doesn't generate ad revenue.

Defintely.

I just hope this does not dork up the ease of access to it now.

They got rid of his RZ last year so it’s Hansons or no ones. Hanson is perpetually confused and does not stop talking.

Sir, we have some news. The NFL is effectively merging its media arm with ESPN, and they’re chopping costs to get the sale across the line. ESPN is such a garbage network, and it’ll be sad watching them run NFLN into the ground.

That's disgusting, frankly.

The NFLN sh*ts all over ESPN. 

The Jets need to win a SB soon so I can stop caring so much about this stupid league

I bought it through the NFL+ app on my TV.  I did not have to buy the entire game day package.  The price was not hat bad especially compared to the DirectTV package.

Are guys insane?! What state do you live in.. Andrew comes across as the most disingenuous anchor i've seen since this side of 2000... if he could eat the CEO's sh*t through a straw on lunch, he would. 

I'd much rather have disney's Scott Hanson -- at least i know that guy wakes up with wood and a smile

I hear you. Siciliano is definitely pretentious and a wannabe Breer (also obscenely pretentious) but his Red Zone command was way better. Hanson doesn’t know the rules of football. And he does not stop talking.

Becton would have been out of football 3 years ago if it weren’t for Baldinger
