If the NFL Network really cared about the fans they'd let the NBC or CBS announcers work the game. I think the game itself will be rather ugly. It will be incumbent for the announcers to add historical perspective to the events of the game as they unfold. This is a job for Michaels/Madden or Simms/Nance. Even the ESPN crew with Kornheiser would be a huge upgrade.

I honestly think that more people who watch the NFLN for the first time on CBS or NBC will be turned off by NFLN than turned on when they hear Bryant Gumbell call the game.

this is exactly what we need here. a nationally telivised game that will have millions and millions watching, and hundreds will complain about the giant idiot. he will def lose his job. we just have to deal with him one more time

who will announce it since the top guys have games to do tomorrow??? and it's not exactly something you can just show up for. they need time to prepare and research

For those of us who are lucky enough to get a reprive and actually have the opportunity, here at the last second, to witness history; and for those of us lucky enough to actually appreciate what this season has been...

I think I can say with great confidence that NOTHING will "ruin my 16-0 experience," and that it's pretty much tempting Fate to say so. Appreciate every aspect of that, even if some facets aren't quite what we'd hope for.

It's actually possible to watch a game with the sound off. Really.

Couldn't agree MORE. The entitled whiners need to stuff a freakin' sock in it. Nothing could be worse than Pat Summerall's call of XXXVI, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. If they paired Randy Cross and Don Criqui with Kornhole for this game I'd just put in ear plugs and watch.

MrBigglesWorth

if we could all just get gil and geno in sync with the telecast.

any websites that delay the telecast?

Sirius I believe does, only by a few seconds though. I did it successfully earlier this year. It was awesome.

Dumbell is the worst. I wonder how many times we're gonna hear "...and Greg Brady drops back to pass"

That's a little harsh. Entitled whiner?
