What is going to happen to Monday Night / Sunday Night football next year?

Well the tragedy here is that if you don't have cable you may miss out. But I saw what you saw on ESPN. CHeck out the link in my sources. There's also a poll on that page to vote and you may see what others think. Here's a bit of that article.\n "NBC takes over Sunday night next season from ESPN, which will broadcast Monday Night Football. John Madden, Michaels' partner for the last four seasons, agreed in June to a six-year contract with NBC.\nBesides Madden and Michaels, NBC will have Bob Costas and Cris Collinsworth as co-hosts of the network's studio show."

It won't happen.  Ohio State and Michigan may be 2 of the best teams this season (not necessarily the 2 best, but 2 of the best).  But the fact that one will have a loss at the end of the season is the result of the same scheduling practices that all teams have to follow.  The only way this could be in anything resembling fair (given that the BCS is bull) is if the loss in discussion is treated the same as any other loss.\n\nBut in the NFL, teams always play their rivals twice.  Sometimes one team wins both, sometimes they split.  But the neutral field of the national championship game will even the odds closer to just the players.

Now that hockey and basketball are done, baseball is about to the halfway mark, and the world cup is almost over, let's get on to the real sport, the NFL! \n\nIt's going to be a great year for Texas football fans. The Longhorns will win a second national championship in a row, and the Dallas Cowboys will be the first to win six Super Bowls.

It actually was added in 2002 I believe they have had one every year since or almost every year since. Orginally the Superbowl was played the last week of January. On that schedule sometimes you would have 5 Sundays in Jan. so if you had 5 then there would be a bye week. In 2002 there wasn't going to be one. The problem was the canceled week. So they had to push it up a week with the rest of the schedule. Well the stadium was already booked for that week. So they had to delay it a week.

They might as well, their season is pretty much over after how they've played the last 4 weeks on offense.\n\nFor more on the Vikings and the NFL. http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

Each city puts in a bid to the NFL to host a future Superbowl. The list plans for where the game will be, security, improvments, city life, how the city economy will be affected. ect. Then, when a certain time has elapsed, the NFL commission chooses a place,and thats it, theres a superbowl

I aggre with you that usually Monday night games are terrible matchups because they are decided before the season starts.  I love the new Sunday night football with the flex schedule, because you definitely get better matchups.  However tonight's game has huge implications for the Giants and Jaguars.  So tonight is a rare great match up.

Oh, it's going to happen. This will be a slow process as you will see a game here or a game there broadcast on the NFL network (such as one of the Thanksgiving Day games this year). As each season goes by, more and more games going to the NFL network. Eventually, the big contract in the sky comes due and the major networks will not be able to match the money the league will be able to net sending all games to their own network. Maybe 7 to 10 years. The NBA is making moves that are similar as well.

When they added the last expansion teams and then resorted the divisions, they had enough teams to have a round schedule for 16 weeks.  The bye week allows the NFL to stretch the season to 17 weeks.  There has been some talk of shortening the pre-season, as most of the stars sit for risk of injury, so it's possible further changes are forthcoming.  I hope so...the season flies by!

Absolutely. They will be like a more practiced, more refined version of the near-powerhouse they were this season. They have THREE members going to the Pro Bowl this year. The Dallas game was what really undid them this year.\n\nUnder the steady coaching of John Fox... this team will go far. They already have made the playoffs twice in three years... and were at the Super Bowl in 2003. The Seahawks, on the other hand, will probably collapse after their post-Super Bowl loss as so many teams do for a year.

Probably the same as now. But if they have new shows coming in then it will be a whole different story.

Nope.  They will get exposed in the playoffs and lose their first game just like last season.\n\nFor more on the Colts and the NFL.  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/
