Re: TV Maps: Week One vs Bengals
Yeah, Nantz and Simms are CBS' top team of announcers, Gumbel and Deirdorf #2. Looks like Spero Dedes and Randy Cross are the #8 pairing, which means they don't even get to work a game every week.
CBS Sports Announces 2010 NFL Broadcast Team
- Jim Nantz/Phil Simms
- Greg Gumbel/Dan Dierdorf
- Ian Eagle/Dan Fouts
- Kevin Harlan/Solomon Wilcots
- Gus Johnson/Steve Tasker
- Bill Macatee/Rich Gannon
- Don Criqui/Steve Beuerlein
- Spero Dedes/Randy Cross
For inter-conference games the broadcasting rights goes to the network of the visiting team. I would think it would be the other way around, give it to the network of the home team, as the production crew would be more familiar with the facilities there, but I suppose there's some other reason for doing it that way.
Regardless, there are two home and two road non-conference games for every NFL team every year. This year Minnesota and Green Bay play in Foxboro. The Packers is a Sunday night game which is NBC, so the Pats will be on FOX only once. That will be against the Vikings on Halloween and I can't imagine that not being their number one game, which means Aikman and Buck will announce that one.
