So did sky sports announced they had MNF earlier and it changed ?

Sky are showing it also.

Is it Mike and Nat again?

No official announcement by Channel 5 about what they are doing. Would imagine they will just get the whole feed off ESPN as Sky do.

So there's a pretty wide variation of opinions on him. AbusesToilets is far from alone in his view but I do lean the other way. I do think most moves in the Quinn/Patricia era have a clear logic to them, whether you agree with that logic is another thing. This year should tell a lot beat writers have noted the feeling is different around camp this year and there seems to be complete buy in. They're definitely his guys now. I'm not expecting miracles but provided Stafford stays healthy there needs to be serious improvement.

It’s week 1 baby!!

Some fall for josh rosen, practice squad of the bucks. I know its a career move for him to try fix his career but still... Number one to practice squad in what 4 years??

You've got to respect the move all the same, could have taken backup money elsewhere but goes to the place where he's got the best chance to fight for #1 after this year and learn from the best.

Interesting bending of the rules by the Saints thwarted by the NFL.

It's pretty common in the NBA from what I understand..

5 yrs 105m with 71m guaranteed for Jalen Ramsey.

The Rams dug themselves a hole by not extending him as part of the trade.

Funny thing is that the new contract for him is the reason why they'll end up under the cap (were $400k above).

Rams made a complete mess of their contracts since the Super Bowl. Goff way over market for his skills and then moving on from Gurley and Cooks has cost them $33m in dead cap. Add big money for Donald and Ramsey, even if deserved, and trading away cheap draft picks has left them likely to struggle with depth for a while.

I know that it says any game, any time on the gamepass bit and if you didn’t know any better you’d think there were no potential for blackouts of games (I say potential because they seem to have forgotten) and I like MJD and I’ve never heard of Kirsten Watson but I’m sure she’s qualified to do the job.

I liked that Tuesday night NFL show on BBC, it was a bit cringey and Jason Bell is annoying as f##k but it was a decent run around the league. Presumably most of us don’t have time to follow it all on Sundays.

That said I never saw the point of two shows so I suppose it’s a sort of consolidation

Well I normally watch the eagles game when it’s on a Sunday and if that’s 6pm or 9:25pm I’ll watch red zone for the slot the eagles game isn’t in if that makes sense. The week the eagles were on a bye or when they are on TNF or MNF I’d use red zone for the late window on Sunday and pick a game for the early. So I used to see a fair bit but nobody can physically watch every minute of every game on a Sunday.

Edit: also nfl game day highlights is a great way to get an overall recap of what happened.
