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. to be fair I haven't heard AS on redzone, i just know him as the guy who pretends the Wednesday practice reports are cold war nuclear codes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His was good. Didn’t talk a lot. Didn’t pretend to not know a touchdown happened right before the switch. Just had a better command. I only had his version for a season though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Sedate Kyle Brandt and it would be decent. Jamie Erdahl is great. Swapping out Kay Adams for her was a win imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKnight83 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 18 hours ago, T0mShane said: 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. The info is appreciated. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like its foregin diplomacy we're talking about. Its a damn football game not rocket science. Maybe they will resurrect Dennis Miller.

T0mShane Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 The bar has ESPN on and it’s NFL Live and I just had to listen to Barnwell and Mina Kimes break down Caleb Williams and it was like two of the most insufferable nerds you’ve ever seen prattling on and on about their favorite Harry Potter character or some sh*t.

I don't understand who the target audience is for this drivel, tbh. Pre-NFLN era, sure there was limited coverage on anything; Draft, Combine, Senior bowl, etc.. so I guess in some sense you wanted the network hype machine to tell what to get excited about... But in 2024, who the fck is watching that verbal masturbation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best way to understand ESPN’s model is that they want to create an aesthetic that non-sports fans will watch with the sound off while they’re stuck in an elevator for 26 seconds at a clip. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Stark was okay, I did not mind Siciliano to be honest and he does good work in college ball announcing. I have no idea who the other people are.

ESPN should hire Mr. Kimball from Green Acres and Mr. Carlin from The Bob Newhart show, pair them together and systematically drive their last 35 viewers to the nut house.😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYJetsVets91 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 This is terrible news just for sports coverage in general.. Sports having their own networks MLB, NHL, etc. has been great. I won't lie I spend a good bit of time watching NFLN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. and Syracuse grad transfers now that they have a recruiter at HC and know they may not go pro but having a Newhouse degree is a helluva thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CEOs and owners don't like taking pay cuts themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
